Super Space Invaders, Game Gear

Phantasy Star Adventure, Game Gear
Released exclusively for the Game Gear – in Japan only – by Sega in 1992, Phantasy Star Adventure is a spin-off from the main Phantasy Star series and is a kind of RPG/adventure controlled with a simple menu system. A fan translation into English makes it playable to non Japanese speakers.
Alien Syndrome, Game Gear
The Game Gear conversion of Sega‘s arcade hit, Alien Syndrome, was developed by SIMS Co., Ltd. and first published in 1992. It’s a decent adaptation, but is for one player only (there’s no two player link-up).
