Wow. Qix for the GameBoy has a pretty weird game over screen! The whole game is super abstract — and then this!
It’s a good port, though!

These first two levels are impressive and have lots of parallax scrolling, nice colors and even some subtle perspective 3D effects. This is definitely peak GameGear and in my opinion beats the GameBoy version. Disney games on SEGA consoles are mostly VERY good titles.
There are two versions: A Japanese one and a World version. The Japanese version seems slightly different apart from the language. The first two levels are action scenes where Aladdin is running through Agrabah and over the rooftops. Both sequences seem a bit longer in the Japanese version.
The game features lots of cut scenes that tell the movie‘s story. This is extremely useful and also very well done. The graphics are some of the best I have seen on the GameGear. Remember: this is a Z80 system with only a few kilobytes of RAM!
Next game on the GameGear: Aladdin. This is truly an amazing game, and one of the few I actually completed a couple of times. It helps that it has a password system…

Another game from my GameGear flash cart: Aerial Assault. A very solid horizontal SHMUP. Nothing special, but fun.

And the next GameGear game: The Adventures of Batman and Robin. An ok-ish jump and run with multiple weapons. Seems a bit boring though. Doesn’t hold a candle to the amazing MegaDrive version.

And next on the GameGear: Addams Family. This is a classic platformer. Lots of small tricky sequences. I found the controls and collision detection lacking. Graphics look great for a GameGear game, though. But this is no Sonic… no level passwords, no continues, as far as I can tell…

Next game on my GameGear: Aa Harimanada. It seems to be a Sumo wrestling game. I can‘t understand a thing. But I managed to throw down the enemy a couple of times. Has some nice Anime style finishing move cutscenes!

Backgammon is a solid implementation of the board game. Different levels give novices like me a chance to actually win!
Yacht is actually Yahtzee, but probably renamed for trademark reasons. The rules are a bit weird, full house counts as the dice values, not 25 points.
Reversi and checkers play as expected, too. I must say I am ver bad at both, failing to grab the border squares.
Chess is working as expected, but doesn't seem to have an opening library. Or not a very exhaustive one at least. Easiest level should be okay to beat for inexperienced players.
Checking out the GameGear library on my flash cart. First game is "5 in 1 Funpack" by Interplay. It's a game collection of 5 board games: backgammon, checkers, reversi, chess and yahtzee (here as "yacht").

What's up with prices for Paper Mario 64? Is anyone really paying this? Those prices make buying an Everdrive64 a no brainer...

Oh my god. Mega Man on the GameBoy is sooo hard. I have never played it before so maybe I need to practice, but I think it starts out REALLY hard.

I can confirm that Ninjish Guy runs on the Atari 7800!

@[email protected] Just search eBay... They are really straight forward. Bridge the solder jumpers, measure the pads to see if it worked -> done! :)
And if you missed it, the stream is now up on YouTube:

@[email protected] no, it is very different compared to the MD version. I guess this version and the MasterSystem version might be the same.
