    Default Official Sega Master System Thread

    Well, recently i saw an official NES thread, and, because i love SMS, i want to create an official SMS thread, so...discuss:

    - What is your favorite game in this system?

    I donīt really know, because there are great games, but i played a lot, for example, Aztec adventure & Phantasy star.

    - What are some of your favorites?

    Phantasy star, Sonic, Shinobi, Fantasy zone, Alex kidd series & Aztec adventure.

    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    Aztec adventure, i remember it was the first game i saw for this machine, is not the best, but i always have the NES games images in my mind, and this machine is superior, so...it was too much for me.

    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    I was surprised, because i didnīt know that SEGA have an 8-bit system, i had 8 years old i think and i went to a friendīs house and he showed me the machine, he said me that he couldnīt pass a level in the Lucky dime caper and i cleared it in my first time

    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    I have the SMS II (From Tec toy) complete, which is the Model I in USA, i had 2, but i recently sold one.

    - How many games do you have for it?

    A lot

    - Which is the rarest single game you own?

    Out run 3D (Brazilian version)

    If you have any experience or some extra notes, add them.

    Default Re: Official SEGA SMS thread!!!!!

    - What is your favorite game in this system?

    It would be between Golden Axe Warrior and Phantasy Star

    - What are some of your favorites?

    Space Harrier, Smurf, and a few others.

    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    3D Missle Defense. I was at Toys R Us and it was the first time I experienced the 3D glasses, and I was blown away. At that time, 3D games used cheap red/blue glasses and never gave a rea full colorl 3D impression. It was also at that time I decided to get SMS and bugged "Santa Clause" for one.

    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    See above. When I got the SMS 3D set, it came with Missle Defense 3D and I also got Hang On/Safari Hunt combo.

    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    I have various SMS consoles, all USA. I have SMS 1 with no built in game, one with built in Hang On/Safari Hunt, and one with built in 3D Missle Defense. I also have a SMSII console.

    - How many games do you have for it?

    PLast count: about 70. Only 4 of them are UK titles (Tom & Jerry, Ultima, Sonic 2, and Xenon 2) plus one other European game.

    - Which is the rarest single game you own?

    Smurf 2, my "other European game" No one knew this game existed until a few years ago.

    I forgot.... My friend had one. From that moment on I went to his house to play it a lot. Untill I got my own.

    What is your favorite game in this system?
    Favorites are always hard to pick.. tho If I was only allowed to play ONE game in it for the rest of my life... it would have to be... Space Harrier

    What are some of your favorites?
    Fantasy Zone
    Space Harrier
    Golden Axe
    Alex Kidd series (yes, ALL of them, with probably the exception of BMX Trial, which might be better if I played the real version and not the emulated one), Golvellius (first rpg type game I ever played and what got me hooked on em)
    Rambo III
    Thunder Blade
    Altered Beast (yeah, you read right)

    What games surprised or impacted you?
    Double Dragon; That and the Karate Kid made an avid martial arts fan.
    Golden Axe; I remember playing that for the first time and thinking 'wow, graphics are never gonna get better than this, this is like a movie!'

    Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?
    I was 9 years old and my uncle had just given me his SMS with 8 games. I remember became amazed at the quality of graphics and sound, but I don't remember which one I played first...

    Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    Yup, The Canadian standard SMS with Hand-On and Safari Hunt as a built in ROM and the hidden Maze Game.

    How many games do you have for it?

    40-50

    Which is the rarest single game you own?

    Probably Alex Kidd: Shinobi World

    EDIT
    This next Heading I added after
    What is the game you DISlike most?
    CHOPLIFTER
    God I hate that game
    Some games like Psycho Fox are frustratingly hard, but look so good and just FEEL so cool, you goott keep going back
    There's also F-16 Fighter... a big game for being dumped on.. while it may not be pretty, it IS fun (i think so)
    But Choplifter? Too Hard, Too Ugly, Too Uninteresting!!!

    Alex Kidd

    What is your favorite game for this system?

    I really enjoyed Zillion, so I'll say that. I'd like to try out some more though, but well, I haven't those means aka places that sell games around here.

    What are some of your other favorites:
    Zillion 2, Sonic, double Dragon, Astro Warior, Space Harrier

    What games surprised or impacted you?
    I was pleasantly surprised with Virtua Fighter Animation...it played like a real VF (as real as a 2d fighter could be I guess).

    Do you rememebr the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?
    The first game I saw played on it was Hang-On when I first tested the one I got from my cousin, who was cleaning his attic. I thought it was pretty neat version of Hang On, though after spoiling myself on Shenmue... ;p

    Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?
    I own 1 US model 1...I ahd 2 but I sold one to my friend Sean for 10 bucks, as he had a convertor for the genesis, but wanted the real deal.

    How many games do you have for it?
    15 games...not bad for about a year of collecting in my spare time for it.

    Which is the rarest single game you own?
    Virtua Fighter Animation of Street Fighter II' both of which I bought off of Marco K last year not too long after getting my SMS.

    Let's see...

    - What is your favorite game in this system?

    Phantasy Star is up there, but I'd have to say Bank Panic


    - What are some of your favorites?

    Phantasy star, Fantasy Zone, Ghost House (yes I said Ghost House), Alex Kidd Miracle World, Columns, Moonwalker


    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    Maze Hunter 3D. Icouldn't believe that a system from the 80's could do 3D so well.


    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    I believe it was at a Toys R Us around 87. I remember going there to pick up some NES games (which I had only because that's what all my friends had), and seeing these odd games to a system I never heard of. I saw the demo system sitting out playing what I believe was Double Dragon (it's been a long time). I thought it looked interesting but it was nothing that made me say WOW! Hmm... Maybe it was Alien Syndrome that it was playing...


    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    I have a SMS without the built in game (other than Snail Maze that is).


    - How many games do you have for it?

    60 or so, maybe more.


    - Which is the rarest single game you own?

    Probably Bank Panic on a card (got it from Australia). I also own the TV Adventures of Colosso (Tec Toy).

    - What is your favorite game in this system?

    Probably Ys

    - What are some of your favorites?

    Rastan, Golvellius, Golden Axe, Wonderboy 3

    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    Ys. What I don't believe is that the water moves on this version, but the Turbo Duo one doesn't...

    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    The first game I played was Rastan on a SMS Kiosk which my dad got for free. I remember playing the arcade version of Ratsan in a Grocery Store and remembering how much fun that version was. The sad thing is is that the Kiosk resetted after 5 minutes of play time...

    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    I don't own one at the moment.

    - How many games do you have for it?

    Just 2. Golvellius and Asterix.

    - Which is the rarest single game you own?

    Asterix, which I found in a shop nearby. What's a European import doing there?

    - What is your favorite game in this system?

    I too have many favorites... but if I choose one, my favorite would have to be Space Harrier. It was the first video game I ever played.

    - What are some of your favorites?

    Shinobi, Outrun, Alien Syndrome, Dead Angle, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Fantasy Zone

    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    Space Harrier. The opening theme and overall feel of this game made me feel like I was in another world when I was a kid. I felt happy, almost like I was in a dream. I still get the same feeling every time I come back to it.

    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    The first game I saw on it was Ghostbusters. I was two years old and I my friends who owned it would only let me drive the car back and forth in between the ghost catching scenes. That was enough to get me hooked.

    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    Oh yes, I own around 5 SMS consoles including 1 3D Glasses set that was never out of the box. It is absolutely mint. I also have a Power Base Convertor and an SMS 2 which was bought brand new at Kay Bee Toy Store.

    - How many games do you have for it?

    The 114 US released titles and around 30 European titles.

    - Which is the rarest single game you own?

    Outrun 3D (European version): Got this gem from the retrogaming roundtables own Zektor.

    Buster Douglas KO Boxing: Game that completed my US collection. I've only seen 1 on Ebay and it was the one I got.

    I love this system. It has given me some unforgetable experiences that I will never forget... I just get good feelings whenever I play it.

    - What is your favorite game in this system?

    Phantasy Star. No doubt about it.

    - What are some of your favorites?

    Kenseiden, OutRun, Afterburner, Time Soldiers

    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    Kenseiden. The graphics were sharp and colorful as opposed to some of the "washed out" looking games on the NES. The sound was great, with the metallic "clangs" of your sword when you strike creatures.

    The second obviously was Phantasy Star. Graphics, sound, story, simplistic functionaliy, 3D dungeons and a sci-fi/fantasy theme that works. What more can I say?

    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    I saw the Master System demo at the local Kohls department store. Hmmm...game in action...I think it was Black Belt. Since I liked Kung Fu at the time I thought the game was fairly rockin'. I also got to play with Space Harrier (which looked, in the words of Billy Crystal, mah-vellous), the gun game against gangsters (I can't remember the name) where you can shoot almost ANYTHING (windows, tires, etc.). I liked it a lot at the time, but couldn't justify buying it next to my NES. Didn't get a SMS until the beginning of 1989 when a friend of mine (who became a jerk over the whole deal) sold me his.

    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    Not any longer. The games didn't appeal to me much anymore and I didn't have the room to store it so I traded it in to get more classic stuff (which, ironically, I sold not too much later on).

    I had the SMS version 1 with one pad and the 3D glasses that worked sporadically.

    - How many games do you have for it?

    I think I had about 20 to 25.

    - Which is the rarest single game you own?
    None now, but I don't think I had a rare game. I had sought-after games like Phantasy Star, but nothing I'd say was hard to find.

    Man, how come I never posted in this thread before?

    Here goes:
    What is your favorite game in this system?
    Wonderboy 3, I love that game!
    What are some of your favorites?
    There's So many; ANY of the Wonderboy Games, Alex Kidd (the first one), Castle/land of illusion, Lucky Dime caper, Asterix, Space Harrier, ect.
    What games surprised or impacted you?
    I was really impressed with the graphics on Aladdin, Cool Spot, and Lucky Dime Caper...and I just recently discovered Road Rash, MAN that game's sweet! It feels EXACTLY like the genesis version, and looks almost as good.
    Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?
    The first time I saw it, I didn't know what it was, but I remember Ghostbusters playing on the Kiosk...too bad the controllers werent hooked up.
    Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?
    Let's see, I have 2 SMS 1's (one loose, one boxed) and a SMS II.
    How many games do you have for it?
    Currently...about 110, only about 4 are loose, and most are complete.
    Which is the rarest single game you own?
    I dunno, Boxed ALF, or boxed Fire & Ice probably.

    Gotta Collect 'em all!!!

    What is your favorite game in this system?

    Castle of Illusion / Xenon 2

    - What are some of your favorites?

    Sonic 1 and 2, Castle of Illusion, Alex Kidd in Miracle world, Xenon 2 Megablast, Bank Panic

    - What games surprised or impacted you?

    I don't think there were any games that really surprised me, but I just couldn't stop playing Alex Kid (built-in) and Castle of Illusion.

    - Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

    I first saw the system in action at my nephews, who used to buy the systems almost as soon as they where released. I forgot which game I played first though, may have been Sonic.

    - Do you actually own this system?, how much? which models?

    I have two Master System 2 systems. One of those is always hooked up to my TV. None of those 2 are boxed, unfortunately.

    - How many games do you have for it?

    about 25

    - Which is the rarest single game you own?

    That would probably be Bank Panic (card, with box and manual).
