It's been a long time since I had used eBay. It's been even longer since the last time the Game Gear got any attention. A year and a half ago when I unloaded a third of my collection which were all loose cartridges, the small GG collection I had was among them. I made a promise to myself that I'd start hunting for CIB GG games and rebuild a modest selection. At that time there were several auctions of a select few GG games that were brand new, all
Majesco reprinted ones from 2000. Usually a couple dozens auctions at a time and in groups of 3, 6 or more. I had always meant to grab one but it kept getting pushed aside for something else instead. Time passed, those auctions long gone and I prompty forgot about the system for a while.
Fast forward a year and a half later while browsing eBay on a whim, I came across two more of these auctions, both from the same seller. The one I got which is above, and a nine game one which differed by not having the
Foreman for Real title. Not only did it jump me from zero to ten games for my GG instantly, it helped me sort out the Game Gear section of the RFGeneration.com games database. It cost me $30 shipping included for these ten new sealed games, I would've been happy to pay that for half of them in this condition. Auctions like these remind me of why I started using eBay in the first place, and the convenience and fun of online shopping. It doesn't beat legwork and hands-on, but you rarely find stuff like this in the wild, at least in my neck of the woods.
I haven't played them all yet, but I'm a huge
Super Battletank fan, and the
Ms. Pac-Man is an excellent port, one of the best I've played outside of the DS version of
Namco Museum.
