Added a couple of new carts to my game library today!

Excited to get into Ax Battler - seems like it'll be a good time! Need to look up the manual to Crash Dummies, I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing to clear a stage...

I had a Gamegear. Fucker absolutely destroyed AA batteries. I liked the 7up game.

Game Gear was just the perfect level of chunky for games to have that nice pixelated quality forcing creative art styles while also not feeling constrained. I got an Analogue Pocket a while back and my Game Gear library has been growing steadily.

But you have to keep it plugged to the USB cable or the battery won't last for more than a few minutes.

I assume this is a joke about the GG. Yeah that thing was hilariously power hungry. “Portable” in that case meant “within 6 feet of any power outlet!”

I have good memories of Ax Battler, have fun!

Old school GameGear was an awesome system. Still one of the best X-Men games ever made.

I had that Crash Test Dummies game on the Game Boy. I don't think I knew there was a Game Gear version. I need to check that out.

Man the Game Gear was so ahead of its time. I remember that crash test dummies game being advertised in comic books but never got to play it myself!

Might have to do that soon
