...i'm pretty sure the only difference between versions is the physical cartridge format; the software is identical and there are adaptors available for both platforms...

The games are mostly similar but there are a few differences.

The Game Gear has a lower resolution so most games had to have slight changes to account for it. There was a MS adapter for the Game Gear but games would look too small since they weren't made for a tiny screen. The other way around was not possible without altering the games themselves because the GG had a different color palette with more colors.
