The Game Gear shared a lot with the SEGA Master System, and that extends even to its software library. Still, some of those games played better on one format than the other for various reasons, so don’t expect this list of favorites to map exactly to my Master System list. And hey, the console had plenty of exclusives of its ...| Post Game Content

My series of TI-99/4A posts earlier this year turned out to be surprisingly popular, but I had really originally intended it as a stepping stone: its graphics and sound chips were extremely influential and either were directly included in many later systems or significantly inspired their designs.
