it may have had its flaws but Sega’s
8-bit portable system definitely had
some gems in its library welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Sega Game Gear games for this list we’re
taking a look back at what we feel are
the finest titles available for the Sega
Game Gear ranging in genre scope and
style these games defined their system
while being interesting in their own
right normally for a list like this we
would exclude ports but since the game
gears exclusive library was very limited
ports will be allowed number 10 acts
battler
going by this game a new handheld calls
for a new gameplay formula in this
spin-off of the Golden Axe series you
are cast as axe battler a barbarian
warrior from the original golden axe
axé battlers quest to retrieve the
magical golden axe from the devil Death
Adder takes him through a variety of
locales from caves to forests in
mountains and onward
the most unique aspect of axe battler is
the shift from beat-em-up gameplay to a
mix of overworld exploration and
side-scrolling combat rooted in series
conventions it made for an engaging
combination of elements both old and new
number nine lemmings add to command an
army of tiny adorable rodents lemmings
for the game gear embodies the
experience of the original PC title
which involves helping a line of
human-like lemmings get to each levels
exit where things get tricky is the
obstacles you must help the lemmings
avoid hazards such as lava pools
dropping from a high height or other
traps in the levels
from the use of special skills on the
lemmings to accounting for each levels
difficulty there’s no shortage of
challenge or fun to be had with this
puzzler number eight Micro Machines –
turbo tournament as a miniaturized port
of the console counterparts this is a
quirky little title micromachines –
takes the top-down track racing of its
predecessor and expands upon it the
game’s drivable toy cars now require
different handling techniques based on
which course is selected additionally
turbo tournament also sees the
introduction of non car vehicles such as
hovercrafts and helicopters with it
slight refinements to the series
elements and its embrace of fun toy cars
Micro Machines – had a solid place on
the game gear
number seven x-men
with respect to x-men game masters
legacy this is the more standout title
exclusive to the Game Gear x-men puts
the titular team against the likes of
magneto Sebastian Shaw kalisto and other
iconic foes what’s interesting about the
game is the way in which its beat-em-up
combat is paired with the suitably
lengthy and visually distinct levels
creating a sizeable and fulfilling
experience for players on top of that
members of the x-men
besides Cyclops and Wolverine can be
unlocked through playing the levels
letting people select from a fair cast
of the characters number 6 arena maze of
death
Arina maze of death operates on this
mentality showing a version of Earth
circa 2026 in which a TV network has
brainwashed the populace ro democracy
citizen guy Freelander takes on the task
of running an incriminating tape to a
broadcast location which means battling
through multiple heavily guarded zones
maze of death uses its isometric
perspective and dystopian angle to great
effect creating an action centric
experience where survival is uncertain
and the odds are overwhelming at the
very least it’s memorable number 5 tales
adventure as the 3rd game to feature
Sonic the Hedgehog sidekick tails as the
singular hero tales adventure is quite
remarkable
different from other spin-offs the game
feature is a mix of platforming and
role-playing mechanics as tails you not
only Traverse environments but also
collect useful items manage tails health
points and explore stages be a
backtracking
yet this shift from convention works
both because of the fun of discovery and
because of the game world’s colorful
design and level of detail all make it a
treat to experience keep on flying with
pride tales buddy
number four Mega Man
make no mistake in spite of the name
this isn’t a remake of the original Mega
Man built is more of a fusion of Mega
Man 4 and Mega Man 5 this game gear
release serves as a mash-up of franchise
tropes the 1995 game Mega Man was
designed for difficulty besides the
usual mix of shooting and platforming
the game also lacks continues and
includes vertical side-scrolling to up
the ante this boosted the challenge
coupled with impressive 8-bit visuals
all making for a fitting addition to the
Blue Bombers classic adventures number
three lunar sample Sura kakuhen
translation lunar walking school only
officially released in Japan this is
still something of note
one of the rare role-playing titles for
the Game Gear lunar walking school
follows a girl named Ellie as she and
her friend investigate a seemingly
abandoned Magic School
divided into 12 chapters the bulk of the
game is centered around battling
monsters via a first-person interface
dating magic and other skills as the
characters level up with built-in
intrigue visual roots in classic RPGs
and a lively cast walking school catches
our eye in more ways than one
number two the geg shinobi fight on Joe
Musashi the first game in the shinobi
series released for a portable system
the GG shinobi does its best to honor
its franchise’s legacy the varied
weapons abilities and ninjutsu available
to players here makes the game’s
noteworthy difficulty really rewarding
and the element of choice is definitely
welcome before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
you
you
number one Sonic the Hedgehog to Khalid
predictable to put a Sonic game at the
top spot but you can be sure that this
game has its own distinct quirks and
merits rather than be a shameless
Genesis port Sonic the Hedgehog 2 takes
the first game gear installments
fast-paced level traversal and refines
it each of the game 7 zones are split
into three acts culminating in variable
boss battles add in some zone centric
mechanics and hidden bonuses throughout
and you have a game that pays tribute to
its franchise while blazing its own
trail do you agree with our list what’s
