New video: Funny Playing 4.2 SEGA GameGear LCD Mod

This is another GameGear mod. But as my favorite LCD mod is currently not available, I ordered a random one off of Aliexpress. It turned out to be a Funny Playing branded one -- it seems it's their version 4.2, with laminated screen and glass lens. Funny enough (haha!) I can't see it on their website. No idea what that's about, but let's give this mod a go, anyway!

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate #USB power delivery.

As a kid, I would have killed to be able to run my #GameBoy off my parents' car engine during road trips. To say nothing of the #GameGear's infamously high power draw.

Modern phones and portable game consoles can do just that, no problem. And thanks to that, they can get away with having glorious high-resolution emissive screens and fast CPUs. The idea of the Game Gear is now perfectly viable. Awesome.

So...
We're not talking Fantasia today, that's a double whammy for the agenda tomorrow.

Instead, let's finish a saga in a very disappointing manner. I'll be frank, I didn't enjoy Legend of Illusion, nowhere near as much as I enjoyed every other Illusion game. Castle, Land, World... All very fun and solid games.

Legend, in my opinion, feels like a downgrade, the fact it was released in 1994, compared to Land in 1992, I'd expect it to be more advanced?Perhaps we can blame a different development team? That seems unfair.

The game is short, much shorter than the others and whilst you can still throw blocks at things, your primary attack is throwing soap, not jumping on things... It all just feels disconnected from the rest of the Illusion games.

It's not a bad game, but it is very disappointing after the highs of the other games. At least you still fight a Dragon in this one I suppose.
