Ironically, I never heard Jazz play any jazz. One thing is certain though, when I hear jazz, I automatically associate it with a Porsche 935 Turbo.

That's a crazy price. You'd be better off selling your boxed copy and then using the funds to buy a complete copy. Its what I did with the loose one I sold. Since your's is boxed you might have to pull out $5-10 at most, but that's a lot less than $25.

I got a SUPER good deal off eBay this last week, my first in forever. I bought a blue Game Gear, 8 games, all of which have the plastic cases, and 5 of which contain manuals, a non-working (as far as I can tell) battery pack, a large fold-out Game Gear ad with a Batman Returns poster on the other side, and an official Sega Game Gear zipper carry case with space for battery pack, A/C adapter, Game Gear, and up to 12 games in plastic cases. The battery pack doesn't appear to charge, because I had it plugged in for hours and couldn't get it to turn on, and the Game Gear itself has a bum screen, but does power on and give audio, so I know the system itself still works. The games I got are:
Star Trek The Next Generation: Advanced Holodeck Simulator (came with fold-out poster)
The Lion King
X-Men
Cliffhanger
NBA Jam
FIFA Soccer
World Cup 94
Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing
There was also a damaged instruction sheet for the battery pack. Here's a pic straight from the auction:
[img width=700 height=1050]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMDY2/z/BigAAOSwF1dUPcrA/$_57.JPG[/img]
Now, I realize that most of the games aren't too great, but being able to pick them all up with plastic cases, and over half with manuals, PLUS the fact that it's a BLUE Game Gear model and getting that official carry case, was easily worth the bargain price of $15.51! Now I just need to find someone who does GG screen mods/replacements - anyone know who might do that?
@EngineerMike - great finds on those shmups! I bought Lightening Force as a new release back in the day, and it's one of my favorite games of all time, and definitely my favorite Genesis shoot-em-up. I much prefer RayStorm and RayForce (aka Layer Section, aka Galactic Attack) to RayCrisis, but it's still an interesting game. I have MLF and Gunbird 2 as well - I was lucky enough to snag Gunbird 2 before it became more expensive to buy than it probably retailed for originally. Good stuff!

@MetalFRO the screen probably isn't the real issue, it's often the capacitors on the board that die. are you able to see anything on screen if you play around with the contrast and tilt the screen to look at it from different angles? mine was really difficult to look at unless you tilted it really far forward, and even then it barely showed anything. after replacing most of the caps it looks almost perfect.

*10 to 300 UPDATE*
I splurged a little and got this guy as #293 for my NES collection:

oh yeah. And a nice manual with it too!

All I can see on the screen is lines/bars and just a little bit of blue color if I tilt the screen a bit. I haven't opened it up, but maybe I need to do that and see if the caps are bulged or leaking. My boss is a bit of a whiz when it comes to replacing capacitors and such, so if that turns out to be the case, he could probably help me do that. But I might want to get a replacement screen anyway, because like the Nomad, the built-in screen for Game Gear systems all suck. I had a friend in high school who had one, and while playing Sonic on it was a blast, it was really blurry. After getting my Nomad screen modded a few years back, it's WAY better than it was before, and it's more fun to play as a result. So really, if anyone does the same for GG units, I might be interested in a screen replacement for it regardless.

Yep, I have 6 of the 8, so I'm thinking about playing through those when they come along. A couple of those I needed an excuse to pull out and play, because they've sat around in my plastic tubs waiting in the wings forever
@EngineerMike - nice find on Zombie Nation! I didn't realize it until recently, but apparently that's one of the NES "holy grail" games, because it's hard to find. I remember renting that with some friends as a kid and having a blast with it, despite the goofy premise and muddy graphics. I count myself lucky to have been able to play an original cart on original hardware at least once, though I may never set my eyes on one again

The Game Gear is notorious for the capacitors going out. While you are in there, replace all of them, since the sound typically goes out on these handhelds a lot too.

Talk to douglie or ApolloBoy here about the Game Gear mod. I believe both can do it.
