Tito’s Ultimate Game Gear 2025 Build

🕹️ Revive Your Game Gear: A Modern Upgrade! 🕹️

Want to breathe new life into your old Sega Game Gear? This build shows how to create a nearly new handheld using the original processor and cartridge slot, but replacing everything else!

Here’s what’s cool:

• Modernized Internals: New motherboard, high-quality screen, rechargeable batteries, HDMI-out, and even an FM sound module for better SMS game audio.

Original Feel: Keeps the original ASIC processor for a 100% authentic gameplay experience. It feels* like the Game Gear you remember!

• Options for All: You can buy components individually or get a pre-built unit.
• Important Note: ALL Game Gear consoles need capacitor replacements ASAP – they leak and destroy the motherboard! ⚠️

Where to learn more/buy:

• SYF Store: https://syf.nl/
• High Score Tech: https://highscoretech.myshopify.com/
• Retro Gear Customs: https://retrogearcustoms.com/

Worth noting: The Analogue Pocket with the Game Gear adapter is a simpler (and potentially cheaper) route, but this build is for the purists who want the original experience with modern reliability! ✨

Earthion – Steam Version GameSack Review

https://www.retrorgb.com/earthion-steam-version-gamesack-review.html

Earthion: A New Genesis Classic is HERE (Almost)! 🚀

Seriously, everyone’s buzzing about Earthion – a brand new shooter designed to feel like a lost Sega Genesis masterpiece! Here’s the rundown:

• Retro Vibes: Earthion was intentionally made as a modern Sega Genesis game, boasting incredible 16-bit graphics and a killer soundtrack by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro! 🎶

Availability: Digital version drops on Steam in September! You can pre-order physical copies for modern consoles now (link below), and a real* Genesis cartridge is planned for 2026!

• Steam Bonus: The Steam version includes the Genesis ROM – perfect for MiSTer or Mega Everdrive Pro users (though it’s too big for cheaper flash carts like OpenED).

Early Impressions: Critics love* it! It’s being called a “new classic” and the emulation feels fantastic.

• See it Live: If you’re at the event, check out Earthion at the LimitedRunGames booth (11049) with @RetroRGB!
