Bought a (new) handheld today :-D

Yeah I finally did it, 
though I have been thinking about extending my collection to include more handhelds I just never felt the same need to do so, like I do with home consoles. However over the past few days symptoms of intense collector's decease surfaced and I had to act fast. Which of cause means that I bought a handheld console, a SEGA Game Gear to be precise including three games:  http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220643658597&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_1154 
Columns, Sonic 1 and Castle of Illusion look kinda neat but of cause there have got to be more great Game Gear games. So now I am thinking about getting Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Panzer Dragoon Mini, Mortal Kombat 3, Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Outrun, Space Harrier and Micro Machines. I haven't played any of these games on Game Gear yet, to be honest I only played Sonic the Hedgehog once on a friend's Game Gear so I am not sure if this really is a good selection so I would like to rely on the Giant Bomb community with this one. What should I get for my Game Gear, what do you think about the games I listed?

You should get both Shinobi games for Game Gear. They're two of the best games on the console. Also, if you'd like another Shinobi-esque game, then try Batman Returns. It'd might as well be a Shinobi game.

Pretty heavy, but that's not the problem you'll face, as the batteries will run out long before your arms have the chance to get tired. It's a shame, there's a few great games for the Game Gear, but I never beat a single one of them because of my 6 fucking batteries constantly dying. Sonic Chaos remains unbeaten.

For 25 bucks it would be more expensive not to buy it right :-P

Has the regret set in yet?
 
I remember having a Game Gear back in the day, but I don't remember what I ever played on it.  Sorry.
