Great game, didn’t realise it got a game gear version
Yeah, had it got a Master System version that would have been cool too.
Although at that point I already owned a Mega Drive.

The correct answer was indeed Streets of Rage 2. Congratulations again to unleash who got the game spot on.
Also half a point for both Phil and Anthony who guessed Streets of Rage, just not it’s sequel.
Don’t forget to check out this week’s mystery Game Gear title here.

This week we have a beloved Mega Drive title that got a fairly faithful 8-bit remake on the Game Gear. What’s the game?
Barry Pearson replied to the topic Guess that Game | Game Gear 30th Anniversary Edition Week #5 in the forum Game Gear 3 years, 9 months ago
The closest answer this week was Phil with Ristar – although Tom wasn’t too far off with ‘Shooting Star’. The full title of the game was: Ristar the Shooting Star.
The name of the game was absolutely was not Sonic Swingers…

Over half-way through my Guess the Game Gear game challenge. This week it’s an easy one.
Two ex-cops take on the evil crime syndicate plaguing the city to rescue one of their colleagues. What’s the game?

Some great suggestions… and some not so great ones too. Keep one more day until the answer is revealed.

Probably my favourite megadrive game! Also had the best music on the megadrive too (yes Barry, I mean that!)
Now I know you don’t mean that! The music is good, but I don’t think it’s the best on the system.

Street Fighter would have been a fair guess as the game did establish the character tropes that fed into Virtua Fighter, as well as many other beat’em ups.
Akira is a Ryu surrogate with Pai standing in for Chun-li.

This week we look at a platformer that has its roots in Sonic’s creation. What is the game?
Barry Pearson replied to the topic Guess that Game | Game Gear 30th Anniversary Edition Week #4 in the forum Game Gear 3 years, 9 months ago
Well it looks like this week was a close one. The game is in fact Virtua Fighter Mini/Virtua Fighter Animation.
So Unleash has gotten it spot on, and both Phil and Tom were pretty much there too.

This week we’re looking at an often forgotten 1996 fighter. What is the name of the game though?
Barry Pearson replied to the topic Guess that Game | Game Gear 30th Anniversary Edition Week #3 in the forum Game Gear 3 years, 9 months ago
Some close guesses with Sonic 3D, Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Flickies’ Island. However, this was aMega Drive/Saturn title that used computer generated sprites to give the game that ‘Donkey Kong’ look.
The Game Gear title shown was Sonic Blast. This title used a similar technique to give a 3D style, but played more like a traditional 2D Sonic…[Read more]

Even if they did work, and there’s some work on making light guns run on modern TVs, would you really want to play them on a tiny screen?
IF they did manage to get light guns working, I don’t think that’s the best selection to put on there (other than House of the Dead). Time Crisis would require a pedal to play, and Lethal Enforcers is really…[Read more]

Since I want your ideas, I thought I would start with mine.
For my suggestions I would imagine the following titles are ‘no-brainers’:
Space Harrier
Afterburner (or perhaps G-Loc)
Outrun
Rad Mobile
Virtua Racing
I’m not sure how they’d accomplish these titles with the joystick and six-button setup they have, but they’re seen as being iconic…[Read more]

With Sega’s upcoming Astro City Mini-Arcade being announced, I’m wondering what games would you like to see on the system? Currently Sega have confirmed 10 of the 36 titles:
Alien Syndrome
Alien Storm
Altered Beast
Columns II
Dark Edge
Golden Axe
Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder
Tant-R
Virtua Fighter
Fantasy Zone
The obvious standout titles…[Read more]

This week’s title is a Game Gear exclusive (outside of Brazil) and features a popular blue mammal, but what game is it?
Barry Pearson replied to the topic Guess that Game | Game Gear 30th Anniversary Edition Week #2 in the forum Game Gear 3 years, 9 months ago
And this week’s winner is…. *drum roll*
Tom.
The game was indeed Defender(s) of Oasis. Philip was close, but not quite with Oasis Defenders 😭
Barry Pearson replied to the topic Why isnt this in the handhelds section? in the forum Switch 3 years, 10 months ago
I can only have each console in one category, since the ‘console’ sections are likely to be more popular I’ve put the Switch here instead.

This week’s game is a RPG set around the Arabian Nights tales. What game is it?
