The Sega Game Gear version of Captain America and the Avengers is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up loosely based on an arcade game of the same name by Data East.

Gameplay

Unlike its home console counterparts, the Game Gear version of Captain America and the Avengers is a more simplistic affair, being a one-player only game that is strictly two dimensional in design. Stages have a similar design to original game (being split up into sub-levels), but are populated by less varied enemies and fewer set pieces. As an example, Whirlwind who emerges from a wall from the first stage in the arcade game, triggering a verbal response from the player characters, only appears as a boss fight in stage 1-5 and is not seen before this point.

Like the arcade game, four characters are selectable (Captain America, Iron Man, Vision and Hawkeye), and all share similar movesets. Music is also shared with the arcade game.
