SONIC 2 + TAZ-MANIA for SEGA Game Gear for sale

Postby kadeath » Tue Oct 18, 2011 9:50 pm

Here are a couple of SEGA Game Gear games for sale. Games are $10 each.
The games are untested and sold AS IS.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 (Original 1992 US release)
It is a 8-bit 1992 side-scrolling platform handheld console video game developed by Aspect Co., Ltd. and released by SEGA for their Master System and Game Gear formats. Being released before the 16-bit version for the Mega Drive (Genesis), the 8-bit editions of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 represented the debut of character Tails the Fox, who became a recurring character in the series.
The Game Gear's lower screen resolution results in the Game Gear version having a smaller visible screen area than the Master System edition, causing some fans to consider the Game Gear version the more challenging title. For example, when facing the boss of the Underground Zone, the reduced screen area either side of Sonic gives the player less time to react to hazards moving onto the screen. Other bosses were also affected: the Green Hills Zone battle takes place in a smaller, steeper arena; there is a 3rd chute which cannot be seen while fighting Robotnik in the final Crystal Egg stage.
The music for the intro sequence is also different. The Game Gear version uses the Scrambled Egg Zone music for the scene showing Robotnik escaping with the captive Tails, while the Master System version uses the title screen music. The boss music is also different between the two versions. The Game Gear has different tracks for the good and bad endings while the Master System version uses the bad ending theme for both.
The Game Gear version also features dark blue (instead of green) water in the second Act of the Aqua Lake Zone, and omits the game's only "High Speed" item box, which may be found in the Master System version of this stage.

TAZ-MANIA (Original 1992 US release)
It is one of several games based on the 1990s cartoon series Taz-Mania (in turn based on the Looney Tunes character), the Game Gear version has a unique design and set of levels.
As in the other SEGA versions, the story is about Taz setting off to find an egg of a legendary prehistoric bird, but the game does away with any kind of introduction and drops the player right into the action. Each of the nine levels of the game is based on a unique concept or gameplay mechanic. These include escaping from a giant boulder, riding a mine cart, or a ski ride down a steep mountain (Indiana Jones sends his regards). Several levels are auto-scrolling: one sends Taz sliding along across icy surfaces, another forces him to follow a tree log down a river with the catch that he can't stay on it too long or it will sink.
If there are any enemies in Taz' way, he can jump on top of them to dispose them or alternatively use his trademark whirlwind spin. The spin also allows him to jump higher and farther, but will also drain his health. This in turn can be refilled by picking up snacks lying along the way.
