Double Dragon

Earth is under fire by Colossus, a battleship the size of a city.

Using powerful laser cannons, it has destroyed most of Earth's defence forces, while its many troops clean up the rest of the planet.

Sega's Game Gear (1990) was a technically capable handheld competitor to the Game Boy, notable for its full-color backlit screen — a real advantage at the time, offset by famously poor battery life. Its commercial underperformance against Nintendo's handheld means smaller print runs overall, and complete, well-preserved cartridges (the plastic shells are prone to yellowing and cracking) are a genuine niche within retro handheld collecting.

Gamevaro tracks Double Dragon for Sega Game Gear with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Double Dragon to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GG release dates back to 1993.

Market insights

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Double Dragon, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Game Gear titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
