Sega Mastersystem...Who still plays it?




Posted by JannettyTheRocker

I'm just curious, does anyone else still collect or play Sega Mastersystem? In my opinion it could be the greatest system of all time. It definitely wasn't as huge of a success in North America as it was in Europe, Asia, and South America, but it still holds a place in my heart.........Well, I'm back to building my collection. Anybody else want to chat about the good old SMS? What are your favorite SMS games?

My five favorites would be:
(1) Altered Beast
(2) Alex Kidd In Miracle World
(3) Double Dragon
(4) Rastan
(5) Wonderboy In Monster Land

It's hard to pick a favorite game as there are a lot of great classics on the SMS.

I'm currently bidding on a UK PAL Sega Mastersystem. I want to have access to the other great SMS games that were never released here in Canada......I've already bought PAL versions of Marble Madness, Cyber Shinobi, Sonic 1 & 2, Ninja Gaiden, and a couple more, so I can't wait to get my SMS from the UK to load up these classics......I've played the ROMS, but there is nothing like having the SMS controller in your hand, and having the cartridges, manuals, and those great Sega cases. I'm so excited.

I owned the Master System before the NES, so I have a fond appreciation of it.

'Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap' is my all-time favorite game for it. Also 'Rastan' and 'Gangster Town'.

'Gangster Town' is one of the best light gun games ever made. It had 2-player simultaneous mode and it was a cool game. You could also play it two-player by yourself, with a gun in each hand.

Yeah Master System rocks! Despite the game library was considerably thinner than Nintendo's early systems.
