Ending Music during the credits is from Batman for the Sega Genesis. SLX Logo By: Jan Neves YouTube Page - Intro by Evan S. Episode Notes: 1. I used a mixture of Mega SG and Kega Fusion for this video. While my Game Gear has a nice new LCD screen, it does not have any type of TV output, unfortunately. 2. I thought it’d be fun to present this as if the entire episode was running on a Sega Game Gear. 3. Revenge of Drancon was called Wonder Boy everywhere else in the World. 4. The Game Gear Micro was such a cop-out for a real Game Gear Classic. Sega really needs to do a proper release. 5. Don’t let the gameplay get you down in Dragon Crystal. It may seem choppy but it’s actually turn-based. Every movement or attack is considered a turn. You get used to it. 6. Game Gear TV Tuners no longer work. They will not pick up the new over-the-air digital signals, making them nearly useless. 7. These days devices like the Everdrive make taking the entire SMS/GG library on the go a breeze. 8. I use to play my Sega Genesis on my GG via the TV Tuners AV input. Crude, but it worked. 9. The original battery pack for the GG was awful. It was huge, looked funny, and in no way was comfortable to use.
