Game Gear - Initial Version

The Game Gear can have lonnnngggg pet friends too!

Recently GBDK-2020 (version 4.0.5) added cross-platform support to target both the Sega Game Gear and SMS. It makes it relatively easy to port games from one console to the other (color is more involved than classic 4-color Game Boy games). After about a week's worth of work (mostly gfx asset and palette rearrangement) a beta of Petris for the Game Gear is ready. 

Aside from a couple things (sfx, music. 2-player vs over serial link) it has all the same features as the Game Boy Color version.


The main control changes are:

  • Show Pet Length = Select button -> UP button in Game Gear version)
  • Change hi-contrast gfx setting: Select + UP button -> B button + Up button in Game Gear version)
