I got my game gear when I was in the 4th grade in 94. My mom bought mine for making honor roll. It was the blue one. I remember all of the batteries it used up.
Officially my favorite channel on RUclips not just retro gaming TMNT and every other cool thing this dope young lady is giving great content on but because she is entertaining and the video quality is top tier. Salute to you ! You have a fan in me. Going to watch all the old videos!
I was born 87, and damn i dont remember anyone having a Game Gear or a Lynx, them things must been so rare. I did have a Genesis tho back in the day, used to play Toejam & Earl with my mom all the time.
Word. I need to get my Blue Game Gear a makeover as well. Had it since the 90s and the screen had seen some better days...I may need to holla at RetroBlake about mines.
That does suck... That's what she said😁. when you sell something, then years later you want it back. Only to find out it will cost more 💰 to get it back. It is what it is. None of us can see the future unfortunately. My favorite games for SNES is Donkey Kong&Donkey Kong Diddy's quest,Super Mario bro.&Super Mario world. Street fighter and Mortal Kombat games.
The Game Gear was ahead of its time for sure. Despite the battery life and the ghosting blur effect of the original screen. I feel like the true successor to the game gear was the original PSP lol also The Sega Nomad was just a handheld Genesis which was also cool at that time. The IPS screen definitely brings new life to the Game Gear.
That Game Gear looks CRISPY!!! The color scheme and screen are impressive. Absolutely worth it! Aladdin on the Game Gear was my jam back in the day. You’re locked in on these handhelds! Yaaaaassss!
When I heard your origin story about the Game Gear, it was very similar to mine. I believe I got my Game Gear on I think my 10th or 11th birthday from my dad. I had Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusions, G-Loc, and Columns (Sega's version of Tetris). It didn't last long, and I can't remember what broke it, but I think after a year or so it was broken. I am still on the hunt for one and I know its the hardest hand held to find. I've seen a lot of the mods to upgrade the display and battery for it which I'd also like to get. So far I have my Sega Genesis, Game Cube, PSOne, PS2, PSP and a Dreamcast ( My original had the GD-ROM issue so I didn't get to enjoy that as much). I am glad I found your channel after seeing your interview on the Toy Collectors RUclips channel.
One of my favorite accessories was the adapter to play master system games on my game gear. I think we were in the super nintendo or n64 era and my friend gave me his master system. They weren't as common on the US as the genesis so I never knew anyone else who owned one. Its fun going back to a system you missed out on and exploring the library of games.
If you from the Sac area, you need to hit The Cave. They have one in Arden and Folsom. But the best and biggest one is in Roseville. Loving your videos BTW!
Total nostalgic for me, Sega was my first system as a kid with Joe Montana football 94. My next system was a game gear and fell head over heels for hand held console. The television system anyone could possibly play. But when you own the hand held it felt intimate, everyone couldn't have access to it...
My sister had the blue game gear sports edition with the World Series baseball game included. Which was pretty cool. That’s pretty cool to get an upgrade. I approved!
I'm currently modding a Sega Game Gear, just been backlogged on fixing other game consoles. Anyways, there's obviously an aftermarket screen mod because the original is very washed out and not as crisp as this one. Board has new capacitors. New shell, buttons, and screen protector. Not sure if there's an audio mod with 2 speakers or if the shell was purchased for the looks and still has the single speaker. For a complete ultimate mod, whoever did should have gone with installing an aftermarket power board that comes with a USB-C charging port and install rechargable batteries.
Awesome pickups! That Super Mario Kart is a beauty. I would love to mod my old Game Gear but I'd have to get it fixed first, poor thing hasn't worked in decades.
I got my gamegear at toysr us but the Majesco version. Never used it outside the house cuz the batteries died way too fast and cost too much to replace. I play the games on my analogue pocket now days.
That thing is clean. Would have been cool to get it in gameboy colors 😂💪🏽👑 I remember playing the heck out of power rangers on game gear back in the day. Oh and prince of Persia is the goods.
Remind me the time I was making a public physical comedy video in a mall and I ran in there and it was a ninja turtle stuff. I was wearing a ninja turtle mask around the mall and I found a place where they had a lot of ninja turtle toys mask and everything.
That game gear looks pretty good! You should look into the analogue pocket if you haven't already. It can play all gameboy, game gear, turbographx/pc engine, atari lynx, and neo geo pocket. It help save money by not having to mod all of the old handhelds but you need to buy the adapters separately tho.
I appreciate the comment. I’m not looking for any more emulators. Just original hardware for this original chick. 😎💜 Saving money has never been a concern of mine 🤷🏾♀️ 😉 I guess I just want what I want? 😉🤓
@thequeeng2282 Well, the analogue pocket is not necessarily emulation, it's FPGA, pretty much almost the same as original hardware ,but you can't go wrong with original hardware. You should add a rechargeable battery mod to that game gear, and you are good to go!
I had game gear( and everything other system out at time) my biggest complaint about the GG was the battery life. You'll burn through packs and packs of batteries. I don't even think I could make it 8 hours before dying
@@thequeeng2282 apparently “g r o w” is a forbidden word on RUclips. I SAID I was a super nerd with my g r o w previously. And I’m jealous of your she shed!
@@spursdynasty7378 hell yeah! Y’all are my inspiration! 94 I was still formulating my video game preferences! Sonic and Mario were solidly at the top by then. I was fortunate enough to have a Turbografix 16 and Sega CD, so Bonk was up there as well.
That's really well done. I am surprised you didn't get someone to throw a design of the tmnt Donnie on the case in some way. How much did he charge to mod it?
Every console I own is modded/jailBroken and I do have a lot 😂 you should try it yourself most of the time it’s really easy these days Great video keep up the good work🤘😎
Queen do you ever stop to get snacks when you are out collecting or buying games? I do 😆 That is one gorgeous cream/purple game gear💜. Fire and Ice is like the ultimate game store. I wish that was in my state of Louisiana. This store have very reasonable prices for their games. I want to get a modded Gameboy Advance but they can be so pricey. Maybe you can do a video about the one you got. Keep up the great content Lioness 🦁
No snacks for me. If I’m going to eat outside my meal plan, I’m going to EAT. I’m talking, something worth the calories….massive meals. 😎😆 No fast food or quick snacks for me . 🤷🏾♀️ And No real story on my modded GBA. I ordered it on Etsy. Check my IG 👍🏾
Well that does it. You sold me on finding a game gear and getting it modded in black and red. You share nothing but the best stuff! Many, many thanks to you, Queen And I know you're not doing these any more but I had to call it out...20:46 "If you can't tell from my face dude I love this thing, it's beautiful it plays well, it sounds amazing" TWSS

Looks Awesome and You can pick up quite a few gems on that bad boy! In the early part of the video, You said were interested in People; (when You took a break from gaming/college). Well there’s a past interview (this was awhile back) of You and the original answer from You being interested in people was very, very, very funny!!! 😉🤣 It was a guy and a girl interviewing You. But anyways, congrats on that serious upgrade for Your Sega Game Gear! Cool video!👌
The mod was dope, my dad bought me a game gear when I was about 11 from one of his co-workers. He had nfl 94 and mk2, sonic 2 and I bought fred couples golf for about 2 bucks from toys r us. The speaker was busted but I had headphones. I need to see if it's still at my parents house. I got a gameboy sp laying around, I need to get modded, where is this dude located?
Queen, get it modded with lithium ion battery packs and a usb-c slot for charging. No more having to get AA batteries every few hrs 😂
Purple buttons/dpad might’ve went a smidge harder 🤷🏾♂️
Still super dope, tho 🤙🏾
Game Gear looks awesome! Love Clayfighter! "Ladies and gentlemen, here are the combatants for this extravaganza..."😂

Game gear looking awesome 🎉 that off white and lavender. I see 👀 you 😊

What a beautiful Game Gear! Definitely worth the upgrade since the original screen is so blurry.
I was born 87, and damn i dont remember anyone having a Game Gear or a Lynx, them things must been so rare. I did have a Genesis tho back in the day, used to play Toejam & Earl with my mom all the time.
One of my buddies back in the day had a Lynx and brought that puppy to school. He shut shit down that day 😂😂😂
Man they were heavy in Walmart!! Crazy expensive tho
Screen looks amazing! I'd highly recommend scooping up some 1.5 lithium rechargeables. Specifcially 1.5v batteries.
Agreed. 👌🏾🥳
