Sega Game Gear games

Sega's Game Gear (1990 in Japan, 1991 in North America) challenged the Game Boy with a backlit color screen, at the cost of devouring six AA batteries. Its library includes handheld Sonic games, Shinobi and Columns.

Game Gear games are compact, colorful and closely related to the Master System library, so they are quick to dive into.

Matrix Picks tracks 294 Game Gear games, 99 of which support two or more players.
