Tails Adventure is a surprisingly complex puzzle platformer. I like it. But the music is pretty repetitive.

Is it a hot take to say that the special stages in every Sonic game are terrible? I'm not sure if I truly hate them or just hate how they interrupt the flow of normal game play.
The least bad ones to me are the ones in Chaos and Triple Trouble, because they are basically just self contained normal levels with a time limit.
I also like CD's special stages because you can completely ignore them and look for generators instead.

Today we reveal a very early prototype of The Lion King for #SEGA #GameGear, dated April 1993. Glitchy, incomplete, and packed with placeholders (plus Lemmings music?!). A fascinating look at this work-in-progress Disney title.

With thanks to Mark Greenshields for allowing the preservation.

GBDK is an #opensource C development kit for the #GameBoy/Color, #MegaDuck, #SMS, #GameGear and NES
Oof, so this game took way longer to master than planned, only because the achievement maker set some frustrating challenges.
Anyway, this is a cool game I found on the #GameGear
Crystal Warriors.
Imagine Fire Emblem, but the affinity of the character actually means something beyond the support mechanics. Each class has one of four elements, and they are effective or weak against another one. It is a surprisingly tactical game because of this. The level cap is 9, and hitting that cap is pretty much a given and won't make (most of) your characters overpowered
It features perma-death for your characters too and a weird monster taming mechanic, which I seldom used because the monsters very quickly become too weak to be useful, except as meat shields, and even then 99% of the time I'd rather tank damage to retaliate with higher damage.
Worth a look at for anyone who enjoys strategic RPGs and also a bit of a challenge.
Funny Playing 4.2 SEGA GameGear Mod
Bit of a special day today.
With this release, all 19 issues of Sega Force are now available to download.
This series was followed by Sega Force Mega, but I only have a couple of issues from that sadly.
Sega Force 19 - July 1993 (UK) has just been added to the preliminary magazine catalogue.
This issue as well as all the others, can be downloaded here:

Enjoy!

There are two things in the world that smell like fish. The one I name is Electrolytic Capacitors!
Seriously. How bad can it smell??

Anyone know of any modern battery packs for the OG Game Gear ? Changing out so many double a’s so frequently is still awful ..
I just realized last monday was #devkitSMS 10th anniversary
*Ten* years ago I started creating this to code #SEGA #MasterSystem and #GameGear videogames using the C language and now, 10 years later, we have a bunch of new amazing games for our beloved systems
You can check them all here: https://www.smspower.org/Tags/DevkitSMS
Here's to the next 10 years!
Props to 'Dexter: Original Sin' for the incessant commitment to '90s nostalgia.

I think enough time has passed since I last tooted anything #Aleste related.
Specifically, to gush about GG Aleste 3 on the #GameGear
Modern games on old hardware are a fascinating subject, and I should really should dive deeper into it.
Anyway. For #VGMWednesday, I present the track from stage 2 of GG Aleste 3,
『Last Messiah』
https://youtu.be/81vh9rYA47A?si=MY58gZQv_GoAROEU
This is probably my favourite track from this particular game, but the OST as a whole is pretty good. It really shows off the sound compabilities that the GameGear had.
If you like #shmups, you really should check out GG Aleste 3 and Aleste as a series, especially the GG games and Super Aleste on the SNES.
GG3, for me, was a tough but rewarding playthrough. It served up a decent challenge, but I am not a competent shmup player.
Completed Crystal Warriors (Game Gear) for the first time!
Damn if it isnt a solid quick and fun to play strategy game.
Fairly straight forward to get the hang of, albeit that the type breakdown is really one sided as 'Earth' isnt weak to anything.
(fuck I've had to edit this like 4 times)
