The game's music is stored in midi format, so all the games music is contained within *.mid files (in the same folder as the game). Now the game runs as smooth as it should, the sound plays OK, but the actual in-game music is not playing at all.
Pressing Alt+Enter gets the game into fullscreen mode, and the dgVoodoo2 wrapper kick in and renders the graphics perfectly. I then get welcomed by the game in windowed mode, displaying a single color instead of actual graphics.
Using dgVoodoo2 (2.62.1) and its ddraw wrapper while running Aladdin in Windows 98 compatibility mode with 8-bit colors enable, the game now actually starts on my Windows 10 PC. I recently got a little bit progress though.
I have struggled for many years getting them running on modern PCs last time it worked was when I had a Windows 98 PC a long time ago. If you like your ancient Persian adventures filled with spikes, traps, sharp blades, big walls, and magic mirrors, then this is one of the best SEGA Game Gear games that you need to keep in your backpack at all times! 9.I have this very old CD containing the rare Windows 9x versions of both Aladdin, Lion King and the Jungle Book games. Unlike other retro games where you’re constantly failing to jump or run because the controls are so laggy, Prince Of Persia is super smooth and a joy to play. You won’t see any Halo style explosions or BOTW cutscenes here folks, but the gameplay is exquisite for its time. The graphics are based around grimy looking dungeon scenes in dark colours. You have just 60 minutes to save the Princess from the evil Jaffar (not of Aladdin fame, although they look as though they could be closely related). It must have been mind-blowing to have had such amazing features to play around with when most of the characters that came before it could only jump up and down. I can’t imagine turning this next entry in our list of the best SEGA Game Gear games on for the first time and being able to run, jump, fight and climb like the fabled Prince of Persia. Retro Dodo offers a costly counselling course for anyone who still has flashbacks. If you’re a SEGA Game Gear fan, then you’ve probably already experienced the pain/pleasure of nuking all of your lemmings in frustration. They’ll also traipse zombie-like up mounds and, (sorry folks) down into fiery pits and off the edge of cliffs. Your chosen lemmings can pull different techniques from underneath their blue robes such as climbing, floating, digging etc, but you’ll have to watch out for the rest of your mindless horde as they walk backwards and forwards into pillars. Players have to choose from eight different traits in a bid to get their lemmings to work together to find the hidden exit at the end of the course. The GameCube game Pikmin always reminded me of Lemmings it’s games like these that probably account for why I’m bald at a young age. These little green-haired explorers knew no limits, though trying to get the optimum recipe for success was often difficult, to say the least.
We’ve spent countless hours messing around while trying to get from one end of a level to the other without losing our minds in the process, and occasionally we’ve actually managed it! Bubble Bobbleīefore Minecraft and other digger-happy puzzle games arrived on the scene, Lemmings was the ultimate underground brain tickler. So without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the best SEGA Game Gear games that you’ve loved and lost your marbles over during the past 3 decades! 20. Heck, Sega are so proud of this handheld they they even released the Sega Game Gear Micro for you true collectors out there… was it a hit? No, but we’ll forget about that. It’s been over 30 year since gamers held this little beauty in their hands, and while 30 years isn’t a usual milestone it’s still pretty impressive (and we need a good excuse for an article).
No longer did SEGA fans have to stay inside while playing Sonic the Hedgehog or Streets Of Rage they could be out on the streets themselves playing under their favourite tree or magical castle retreat with a pocket full of batteries in tow and all of their ‘return to level’ passwords scribbled down in the back of their maths book. Yes, fellow gaming friends, we’re talking, of course, about the release of the SEGA Game Gear in North America and Europe. People are starting to call trainers ‘sneakers’ and painting them red and white, dying their hair blue and sticking it up into spines, and trying to convince their mates that they should start going by the name of ‘Tails’ or ‘Knuckles’ while walking about.
It’s 1991, and a sense of hidden excitement is floating through the air as the best SEGA Game Gear games begin working their marketing magic.
