Does Anyone have a COMPLETE Game Gear Collection?

**GrandAmChandler** · 10-06-2005, 06:02 PM

S1lence & myself were talking in the bender, and I do not know of anyone who has a complete game gear collection! I would LOVE to see pics, but man this system may be harder to get boxed games for than gameboy!

I remember throwing all the game gear boxes out at Funcoland over 5 years ago. sad. :-(

Anyway, I hear it's near impossible. Thoughts?

Yeah and all that seems to be on ebay are the re-releases from Majesco. I can't believe that this system is really that hard to collect for.

I've been desperately searching for a complete US copy of Fantasy Zone Gear for some time now. TONS of European copies out there, and a good number of Japanese ones, but you'd be amazed how hard it is to come across a complete US copy of this game (the US copy has the angular yellow Fantasy Zone logo).

Heh. I had one when I was 8! I promptly threw the box & manual out after Christmas.

What did I know!?

I have never even had a Sega Game Gear, which means never even owned a single game! I dont know much about the Game Gear but I kinda wish I had one back in the day

Adol (I think that's right) has a complete JPN GG collection.

I have 68 or so US GG games and all but three (I believe) are boxed. How many are there?

There's got to be around 150-180 or so I think..I have around 115 games, 80 of them are boxed..have not tried collecting for this yet, but I will after Game Boy. There's a LOT of bootlegs out there on this one too, so be careful.

**Funk Buddy** · 10-06-2005, 06:43 PM

They have really dried up on eBay over the last few years. I got most of mine four or more years ago. Unboxed I can find in lots of places, but I'd prefer boxed first.

Also, someone needs to overhaul that Game Gear list. Baby Boom did not come out, wtf?

Games that wer released in expendable packaging are going to be hard to find complete anyway. But I think the fact that it was a portable compounds the problem. People might have been willing to keep nes boxes or whatever around but the whole purpose of the game gear was supposed to be mobility. Bye bye cardboard.

Too bad they didnt put individual cartridge artwork on those plastic clamshells.

Custom clamshells, that would be sweet.

According to the Advanced Guide there are 256 U.S. Releases.

I've got like 4 games, and my rarest is probably that lame Tom and Jerry game, or some weird Speedy Gonzalaz game.

Check out the second page of this thread for a list of games that have not been confirmed that are still in the online guide.

It's more than that - there's about 200 Euro releases, and I think it's closer to 250 in the US.

I haven't shared this yet, but over the weekend I went to the dollar store and found 8 boxed and almost mint NEW unopened Game Gear Games for a buck a piece! five copies of Sports Trivia, two copies of Donald Duck, and a copy of Battletank. Yes they were at a dollar store called Deals. What a place to find GG games huh!
