Rosenau is part of a growing community who are ditching contemporary video games and picking up the consoles from their childhood, or even before their time. And gen Z gamers are following suit, with 24% owning a retro console, according to research by Pringles.

Try emulators for the Game Gear. Some games were great, some sucked big time.

The best RPG ever: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenders_of_Oasis
Ninjas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_G.G._Shinobi
The original Advance Wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Warriors

But seriously, try Defenders of the fucking Oasis, it's awesome, it had a great story, great music (I can still hear the music in my head 30 year later, god I have to play that game again), great cutscenes... And all the Sonics sucked, forget those.

On the Genesis/Megadrive, you had Beyond Oasis which is not a sequel but is still good and more action-oriented. You could play that one too.

Definitely don't have a problem with emulating games and will probably emulate those titles, but I'd absolutely love to try on actual hardware since emulators can't come close to that feeling of using the actual console.
