It’s said that everything that was old eventually becomes new again. In recent years, game enthusiasts have developed new games for the original GameBoy, NES, and Genesis, but some fans have gone even further than that, designing their own versions of classic consoles. One Sega fan in particular has focused their attention on Sega’s beloved 90s handheld, modifying and designing custom Game Gears.
The Sega fan runs a shop called RetroGear Customs where they install new components and screens into old Sega Game Gears and give them beautiful cosmetic upgrades. Many of the mods are themed after classic Sega characters; the Sonic handhelds stand neck to neck with the best Sonic The Hedgehog fan art, and the orange, Tails themed edition is particularly inspired, with a clear screen bezel showing off the system’s inner workings.
The shop sells the custom Sega handhelds through its website and also offers customers the chance to request individualized Game Gears. With the updated screens and gorgeous exterior shells, RetroGear Customs’ revamped Game Gears are garnering much more positive reviews than Sega’s latest official portable venture, the Game Gear micros.
The RetroGear Custom Instagram page is filled with comments praising the designs, and with the multitude of colorful variants it’s easy to see why. For any Sega fans who simply wants a new shell on their current Game Gear, RetroGear Customs also lists the shells on their own. Being larger than the tiny Game Gear Micros, though smaller than YouTuber ZHC’s custom 10-foot PS5, the meticulously revamped Game Gears are not only beautiful, they are perfectly playable.
