Game Gear games can not be directly played on either the Sega Master System or the Sega Genesis. This is because the Game Gear has the ability to produce more colors than both systems can handle, and stereo PSG audio. As a result, any kind of "Super Game Boy" type of converter is impossible.

Most Game Gear games are available as Master System games so those versions are the best to play on a TV. You can mod your Game Gear for TV out to play all the GG-exclusive ones, but a better solution is to hack a Game Gear rom to work on a SMS or Genesis via a rom cart. It's hard to do, but the end result is much better.
