Game Gear 1990 Pt. 2 of 3 (Game Boy Works Gaiden #10)
🕑 Added 2020-11-18 14:00:03 +0000 UTCBonsoir, mes amis! Unless you're in the western hemisphere, in which case, good morning. This week brings us the second of three Game Boy Works Gaiden episodes about Game Gear's 1990 lineup. One more of these, one more Lynx episode, about 10 more Game Boy Works and we'll be completely through with 1990. Incroyable!
Once we hit the end of 1990, I will be hitting the brakes on Game Boy/Game Gear/Lynx coverage for quite a while and focusing on NES Works (and related Gaidens) to bring it to the point in the game chronology where we'll be with portable titles: i.e., the beginning of 1991. That's going to be a pretty hefty pause spanning several years, but I do promise to check in on handhelds from time to time! Game Boy is where this series started, and I can never fully forsake it.
As for this episode, there's a nice surprise inside for anyone not familiar with the system's library. Revenge of Drancon may not look or sound promising from the box, but I guarantee it's a treat for fans of beloved video game classics.

I can’t wait until SG-1000. I enjoyed the coverage way back in the gamespite quarterly days and I’m looking forward to some sega deep cuts.

Sega certainly had a history of putting bad box art on great games. Looking forward to the many times you'll be covering Wonder Boy in future Works episodes. A handheld pause so the 8-bits can catch up to the 1990s is a understandable decision. Will the PC Engine/Turbografx 16 be covered as an 8-bit system or a 16-bit system?
