- GG is easier to play in the dark than the daylight. It is hardest to play in
- bright daylight. Sonic II on GG is good, but not as fast a game as on the
- original Genesis. I like the GG versions of the games better because the
- graphics seem clearer. I think the GG has better resolution than a normal TV.
-
- There are other games which are also good, and hard to play. All the
- other games I have are good, but I am not a good enough video game player to
- get beyond certain boards. I like the graphics on Indiana Jones. Joe
- Montana football is good (but boring for me). Others are good versions of
- classic games. Pac Man, Woody Pop (breakout type game), and there are some good
- puzzle games, like Junction, and Popils.
-
- I considered buying Gameboy, but Gamegear is far superior and is priced right.
- Atari Lynx, et al. are too expensive. The games are resonably priced and older
- games are already between $15 and $20 on the sales racks.
