  Play master system games on your game gear
Review created: 14/05/08
by:

This item works very simply passing on the correct pins from the cartridges to the game gear. Very simple but makes your master system collection portable and means you can get good bundles of games and use them on the game gear!!!

  CLASSIC MOBILE GAMING!
Review created: 28/04/08(updated 28/04/08)

maca26wd ( 4 )

This is the second time around....I remember picking up my Game Gear on launch day, of the top of my head it was 1991? Things were about to change. All my mates had Game Boys, so when i turned up with the Game Gear you could imagen the reaction. The quality of the graphics & the sound(when working) was brilliant(don't compare to todays psp etc), games were good & so was the extras you could get i.e battery pack, T.V tuner, Master gear converter(this was a good addition).The Game Gear did have its faults.It would eat the batteries for fun(max i got 7hrs from 6 AA's/this is were the battery pack or rechargeables came in use),it was a little chunky,but not uncomfortable to hold. The sound went on a few of my mates game gears before my own(belive this can be repaired). So after 16YRS without owning one i've given in to a bit of retro mobile game play and brought another!!!! Lets see if its as good now i'm an old kid!!!?

  Chunky and old but still a lot of fun!
Review created: 26/03/08
by:

Even though with the Nintnedo DS and Sony PSP around these days, the Sega Game Gear from 1991 is still a lot of fun. It's graphics are obviously not as good as those of the DS and especially the PSP, it also suffers from a sound problem whereby the capacitors fail after a while and need replacing, plus the screen is a lot smaller than that found on the PSP and no where near as sharp - but, all this asside, the most important factor is still there - it's genuinely fun to play! The unit itself is very comfortable to hold and the buttons are loacted just where you need them.

Ok, so it eats up batteries like there's no tomorrow and with all six (yes six) in it weighs a bit too, but playing games on it really is fun! And when you've had enough or spent all your money on batteries, leave it alone for a while and play with your DS or PSP again. Retro lives on on the Sega Game Gear!

  An underated classic
Review created: 10/03/08
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Remembering the Sega Game Gear as a 8 year old I always remember friends having it but my parents not being able to afford it back in 1991 meant I had to make do with a Game Boy.

Now owning my own Game Gear 15 odd years down the line I have to say the system has held up well, it's big and a bit heavy but not uncomfortable on the hands, the screen is nice & bright and the graphics, for it day are rather good.

The only thing that lets the system down is it's battery life, 6xAA batteries last, at most 6-8 Hours which can be frustrating if you are playing a long game. However a plug will resolve that little problem.

The Game Gear may not have been as successful as it should have been & essentially the Game Boy won the "war" but don't let that put you off, it's huge back catalogue and Master System adaptor that allows you to play that systems huge back catalogue make this an essential retro machien to own 5/5

The Free iPhone Guide


To get yourself a free iPhone all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free iPhone
Sign up at the link below to get your free iPhone. We recommend this free iPhone site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

http://gifts.kudosnetwork.co.uk/?ref=172 (copy and paste into browser)

You can choose other prizes like free consoles from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your iPhone! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free iPhone if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (rent two DVD's, keep them for about 2 days, send them back and then cancel the trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 2 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free iPhone!

Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free iPhone sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free PS3, Wii, and XBOX Elite without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free iPhone!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free iPhone, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free iPhone!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free iPhone in no time.

Thank you.

It looks great, very clean and the control pads work very well. The only problem is some games dont seem to run on it. hopefully thats a problem with the games and not the console.
Overall very good.

  a trip down memory lane.....
Review created: 03/02/08
by:

OK, we've just bought a Nintendo DS and the first few days were spent fighting over it. It made us remember that we have a Game Gear - left untouched for about 10 years! We got it out and found that the screen was very dark and scratched. Had a look on eBay and couldn't believe how much they are going for! Anyway, had a successful bid and found ourselves transported back to the days before we had a PC, a playstation and probably even a mobile 'phone! We are now thoroughly enjoying our columns game again and are digging around for the other games we know we have somewhere!

Ok, so the graphics are a bit naff when you compare them to todays technological wizadry, and the sound drives you nuts so you want to turn it down, but the nostalgia it great and if you don't want to get too involved or spend a fortune - this is the game for you!

  Sega Game Gears - still a quality console.
Review created: 30/01/08(updated 30/01/08)
by:

Sega Game Gears are brilliant. Well I love videogames anyway, in whatever format it happens to be a good game will keep me occupied for hours, days, dare I say months? In recent years though it's mostly been on the PC, on the internet of course. Then, mid December 2007, I did my first search for Game Gear bits on Ebay. I used to own one of these when I was younger and remember how much fun they were, so I decided to look into it as a cheap alternative to a PSP or Nintendo DS.

I have to say I truly was surprised at how much Game Gear equipment was available, and instantly decided to get one with a small collection of games. Of course as I looked further I realised many more games are now available than when I used to own one, and then remembered how much fun the link-up games were, where you had 2 consoles connected, but also needed a copy of the game in each machine. So, I've had to double up on the greatest 2 player games - Streets of Rage, Mortal Kombat and Lemmings for example, get another console and the cable to link them.

They still eat batteries like they are going out of fashion so AC adapters to run from mains power are a must when playing at home, and get a rechargeable pack for on the move. You can get one set here on Ebay that comes with the AC in the same box, and it's a nice option as it's not expensive at all.

So are they any good? Of course they are!! They're brilliant, in fact I'd say just as good as I remember them. Do they match up to a PSP or DS? Well, it's probably quite unfair for me to answer that as I've not played either of those consoles for any length of time. The graphics are much better obviously, and you can play films on the PSP which is very cool. The Game Gear does have the TV tuner, which provides a fully watchable picture when plugged into a decent aerial - we checked yesterday and had The Weakest Link in full colour. Shame terrestrial TV is going to be turned off.

The most important thing though, are the games, obviously, so how do they match up? Well as I've said the graphics don't really compare to the modern handheld console and are well inferior, but if you're anything like me it's the gameplay of any vidoegame that will keep you coming back for more every time. So for the Game Gear it has to be a massive thumbs up. With classic coin-op conversions, Sega's ground-breaking (at the time) Sonic series and a large back catalogue of games including classics from all genres, the playability is unquestionable. For the price of a new handheld and a game or two, you'll end up with a couple of Game Gears to link up, all the cables and adapters necessary to play uninterrupted and a fairly decent sized collection of games considering auctions here on Ebay often start from under a pound each.

Did I make the right choice going for Game Gears over a new handheld? I've no idea to be honest and at this rate I'm never going to find out. My 'Gears have already been responsible for several late night gaming link-up sessions 'till the early hours of the morning with a good friend and a few beers (I am over 18), and my collection of games is still growing. Yesterday I found out that my favourite game on the Megadrive - Micro Machines 2 is a link-up game for the Gear, so my second copy is in the post as we speak.

Sega Game Gear or new handheld? I'll leave that one up to you then. ;-)

Are you looking to find one for free?? then visit:

http://ipodsgiveaway.co.uk/index.php?referral=243121
(copy and paste URL into browser)

All you have to follow to get your free gift are 3 easy steps:

1. Sign up to the site above. (fill in your details eg. name, Postcode).(so they can send you free gift)

2. Complete an offer - For UK residents the best offer to do is LOVEFILM, all you have to do is a FREE 2 week trail and receive a free rental(LOVEFiLM even pay the first class postage both ways)!

FURTHER READING:
How can they afford it?:

Each time an offer is completed, the company is paid a commission by an advertiser(eg lovefilm), which is then used,when you get more people to sign up, to pay for your chosen reward. Companies have found online advertising to be more effective, and cheaper, than television advertising. this is why getting friends to do free trails gives you rewards: there is a chance that they enjoy the offer and stay with the advertiser!
You Do Not Pay A Penny!!!
