Here’s a Christmas curveball for you. Galix’s GGPie uses the Game Gear TV Tuner and a Raspberry Pi Zero to turn your Game Gear into a most-in-one game console. The problem is that while the Raspberry Pi has more than enough power to emulate everything up to the original Playstation, the Game Gear has a severe button deficit, so you’ll be stuck playing 8-bit consoles and maybe the Sega Genesis.

Beyond that, the Game Gear screen is… less than optimal for game consoles that aren’t the Game Gear. Heck, it’s not even that great for Game Gear games… those color displays from the early 1990s leave much to be desired compared to what’s available in 21st century handhelds.

It may be extraneous to the extreme, but the GGPie is nevertheless an option for gamers who aren’t ready to put Sega’s chunky handheld into retirement. Special thanks to AtariAge for the scoop.
