The pile:

I use this adapter with Sony earbuds with my Pixel 4xl and they've been solid for years.

USB Type C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter, JSAUX USB C to Aux Audio Dongle Cable Cord Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S23 S23+ S23 Ultra, S22 S21 S20 Plus/Ultra, iPad Pro, MacBook, Pixel (Grey) https://a.co/d/4xdLdDF

If you can't find what you're hoping for, I can at least vouch for the reliability of this adapter with my (dated) Pixel phone.

🎶Be prepared!🎶

Not the same as the Genesis version (IIRC), but I believe the Master System's game is the same as this Game Gear version.

Still a fun little platformer if you are seeing it for cheap somewhere.

😬 Wasn't prepared for that question, not sure I can pick only one.

I can say that lately I've been focused on Woody Pop. Slowly but surely getting the hang of that one. It's a pretty interesting breakout/arkanoid where you are fighting your way through a toy shop. Every time you clear a room, you get a choice of which door to go through (and therefore) which room to tackle next.

There are power ups to collect, each room's bricks seem to depict a different toy, and there's unlimited continues. It's a pretty simple but solid game.

They're surprisingly good games on here!

🤣

It's not the worst thing I've ever played, but yeah... Sonic Spinball is a mess! Lol

Not something I'll ever actually try to beat, but interesting to mess with when I have some time to kill.

Dynamite Heady has been on my list, still need to track down a copy!

Thanks!

Shining force seemed to come up on every internet list, so I had to track it down. It's definitely a solid game that I probably would have spent HOURS on as a kid.

Hoping that at some point I have enough time on my hands to spend hours on it as an adult 😏

Thank goodness for modern electronics!

With a LED backlight, the battery life of this almost triples! And rechargeable batteries are way better than what they were in the 90s.

I didn't have any Sega System as a kid, so all the Sega franchises have been brand new to me the last few years - there's some really great stuff in there!

Agreed. Aladdin was a lot of fun to get through!

I made it through a decent amount of Lion King, but I've never beaten it.

It's great! So is Chaos.

Weirdly though, my favorite is still the first one.

Sonic 2 on the GG is absolute garbage.

👏

I kept hearing it was a "hidden gem", but was honestly kind of disappointed with it. The music is great and the game is okay, but I think every other Disney licensed game I've tracked down so far for the Game Gear is better than the Lion King.

It's more fun to randomly browse through a mess of carts to find something to play. For me anyway 🤷🏻

It's an 99 USD option.

You could try Ingress, it was the game that Niantic built Pokémon on top of.

Not sure if it would be interesting for a kid, would depend on how old they are. And requires a lot of screen time. You have to fight over locations on the map, it really motivates you to go to "just one more" location.

There is also an item in the game that produces items for you, but requires you to walk certain distances.

🤷🏻

Thanks!

Though there are Virtual Boy collectors out there that have collections that put what I have to shame!

There's always going to be someone crazier (and richer) than you.

Thanks!

I have all 14 North American releases (loose carts) and a loose copy of V-Tetris. 👍

I had several CIB, but I traded/sold the boxes and manuals away. I'm not a collector - just a gamer and I don't care about having anything to display.
