Popeye Beach Volleyball
Despite Popeye being an American creation this sport-sim was only released in Japan…

It’s common knowledge, at least between Sega Saturn collectors, that a series of high-res Virtua Fighter Portrait galleries were released during the Saturn’s early days in Japan…
Kuni-Chan no Game Tengoku
Kuni-Chan no Game Tengoku (Kuni-Chan’s Game Paradise) is a fascinatingly brilliant…
Quest for the Shaven Yak starring Ren & Stimpy
The first time I heard about this game was not in Mean Machines Sega, CVG or Sega Power but in Sonic the Comic…
Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle
This is a curious little platformer, and for a number of reasons…
Coca-Cola Kid
Just about every format ever released has games that were only available in certain countries, but I think the humble GameGear suffered particularly badly…
Buster Fight
I wanted to kick this retro profile off saying that Buster Fight was one of the few one-on-one beat'em ups made especially for the GameGear…

Wagyan Land
What’s this? A Namco-developed 2D platformer released only Japan? How exciting! Well, it would be if Wagyan Land’s only remarkable feature is that it’s completely unremarkable…

Ah, the joys of buying mystery import games…

Sonic The Hedgehog
When a friend of mine back when we were 11 rang me to say his parents had bought him a Game Gear, I was dying to have a go on Segas much hyped handheld, and this was the game that came bundled with his machine…
Ristar the Shooting Star
Now before you all start with the "This one's been done!"-isms, this is the GAME GEAR version…
Sonic Chaos
In my opinion this was by far the best Sonic games for the 8-bit system…
Megaman
Remember when US Gold got their hands on Capcom’s Strider and produced that god awful Strider 2?
