R36S Game Gear Games

Portable Master System hardware

Sega's answer to the Game Boy had a backlit colour screen in 1990, years ahead of Nintendo — at the cost of six AA batteries per six hours. Internally it is Master System hardware, so much of its library is shared.

How well does Game Gear run on the R36S?

Full-speed on all R36 models. The R36 screen is far larger than the original, so Game Gear titles look better here than they ever did on the hardware.

Game Gear on Each R36 Model

The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
