I don't think you can.

The same thing happens to me.

What is your point?
Am I asking what it is worth? I am happy about getting SMS stuff again and just wanted to share..................

even though you didn't put what you paid, this thread clearly belongs in "june finds" in "what's it worth".

[OldSchoolGamer]

Why? Is that a rule? I didn't put what I paid nor have I asked what it is worth!

Just wanted to see what some might think about Sega Master system, opinions, comments, geez...............

I put it in Classic Gaming because it's a classic system. I am pretty sure I was of clear mind when I posted it here.

[GOLDEN KEYS]

Why? Is that a rule?

um, yeah. it actually is a rule. i posted a story about buying an NES on this forum when i first joined and it was locked and i was told to repost in "what's it worth" under "june finds".

that's why that thread exists... to talk about games and systems you "find".

Fine. This was not obvious to me. I will "re-post" there.................
Silly me, I just assumed the WHAT'S IT WORTH ? thread was specific for people wanting to know, oh I don't know, what it's worth maybe?

pretty much everyone seems to want to talk about their finds (including myself) and having a thread dedicated to just that keeps the other forums free from being clogged with hundreds of "finds" threads.

i want to be clear that i'm not attempting to do any "junior modding"... you can do whatever the hell you want. i have no power to make you repost in another thread. i was merely advising you. :angel:

[aclbandit]

Wrong place or not, nice find. I only semi-recently discovered Sega gaming, and after playing through the original Phantasy Star, I must both recommend it and look forward to expanding my SMS collection.

Congratulations!

Also, I really have got to find a set of those nifty 3D goggles.

[Atarileaf]

I never owned a SMS but I had a couple of friends who did and the system really impressed me. If I had the space, that's one console out all the ones I didn't grow up with that I might be persuaded to collect for.

Seems like a solidly built system that still holds up today.

[megasdkirby]

Congrats, OldSchoolGamer! ^_^

You will definitely enjoy the games you got! Some pretty nice ones in there!

Speaking of which, I need to put up a lot of SMS games I will be selling...just to damn lazy LOL

[guitargary75]

Congrats!

I only recently discovered how to do this. Look at the upper right corner of each post. There will be a post #. Move your mouse over it, and you will see the URL for that particular post. ;)

This will get rid of the left frame that hides the real URL.

If you hold the "shift" key down while you click on the thread it will open a new window(browser) up and it will have the full address in the url.

Nice find on the SMS lot. I never played the 3D games. I have owned the glasses a few times, but never when I owned a system. Now that I own a system, I don't have the glasses anymore. I use to love playing Shanghai in two player mode.

That was a nice pick up there, good job. Now go buy a copy of Missile Defense 3D and Maze Hunter 3D and you will have all the best 3D games imo.

[ooXxXoo]

Nice find!....And if you are a hard Sega Master System fan like I'm, you'll definitely be extremely happy whenever you find a SMSSC like I did....Even though, these are South American PAL-M,PAL-N machines, they can be easily converted into NTSC systems...Totally love them, one has SMS Sonic 1 in the memory, while the other one has Alex kid, with a few mods these can even output RGB and S-video....

Nice tip :)

I just save a direct link to my WANT topic and I use that to open DP. :D

MaxRD, if you ever have the chance, pick up games like Castle of Illusion, Phantasy Star, Rastan, and Montezuma's Revenge. Great little titles there. :)

[tom]

yes those southern Americano mini sms's are way cool, as is the sms girly type console.

Wow, these Sega Master System looks cool! I have never seen them before :) How do they work? Is it like a portable console and controller in one that you connect to the TV?

[OldSchoolGamer]

Interesting, the first replies are all about posting in the wrong section, when I finally get it and re-post where I should every following response was more what I was expecting/hoping for...............

WELL ANYWAY, thanks to all those who replied about my find, much appreciated!

:cheers:

[grolt]

Congrats on getting into the SMS. It's a great system with a small library (at least in the US) of quality games. In that lot you got some of the best ones too - Wonder Boy III for my money is one of the top games for any 8-bit console. Space Harrier 3-D offers up some fast and frenzied 3-D fun, although I must say I prefer the score in the original game. Still, for 3-D games though, it's probably the best overall. Blade Eagle 3-D is underrated, for sure, make that one a purchase when you get the chance - it's the only game that really uses the 3-D for more than just cosmetics. And while it certainly gets its fair share of flack, Alex Kidd in High Tech World has always been a favorite. A really weird little combination of RPG and platformer - it has a lot of gameplay quirks to offer. I especially like the RPG elements, since most RPGs deal with adults in fantasy worlds, it's cool to be playing as a little kid and exploring the life of Sega's own mascot (years before Mario RPG). You get to play Fantasy Zone records, order pizza with the correct phone number and even take a multiple choice exam with questions about Space Harrier. That's a Sega fan's dream right there! :D

Have fun getting into the system, and let us know the games you're playing and how you like 'em!

[OldSchoolGamer]

Thanks Grolt, can I play import games on it? I only read / speak English but are there import games I should consider?

[grolt]

You can play import games from Europe and Brazil (Tec Toy), but not the ones from Japan since the carts are of a different size and will not fit into a standard western system. That said, yes, there are plenty of solid Euro finds too. Some of the good ones:

Wonder Boy in Monster World
Asterix
Psychic World
The Lucky Dime Caper
Deep Duck Trouble
Land of Illusion
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
T2: The Arcade Game
Mortal Kombat
Power Strike II
Ninja Gaiden
Robocop vs. Terminator
Sonic 2
Ecco the Dolphin
Streets of Rage
The Cyber Shinobi
Ultima IV

There are a ton more from Tec Toy in Brazil like Baku Baku, Sonic Blast and Taz in Escape From Mars too.

Virtually all Euro and Brazil games will play on the US console, save for a few that were only programmed for PAL frequencies like James Bond: The Duel.

Definitely worth getting into, since you don't need another console to do it. There are some awesome Japanese exclusives if you decide to get truly hardcore and buy a Japanese Master System or Mark III.

[OldSchoolGamer]

Awesome! Thanks a lot Grolt!

[tom]

Getting this is a must:

Very nice set, makes me want to dig out my SMS and run through some of my old favorites. I think I even bought a new in the box set of 3d glasses at a Classic Gaming Expo a few years back.

[Enigmus]

Somebody should move the topic to What's It Worth. It really isn't exciting when you post about your new SMSM when it's not in a place about finds.

Yeah, like having sex is not enjoyable if it isn't done in a bed. Who cares!

[Solertia]

ps How do get a link for a thread, ever time I go to a thread it says http://www.digitpress.com/ but there nothing after that.

Go to http://www.digitpress.com/forum/ and navigate through the forums rather than going to digitpress.com first.

[segagamer]

Wow, it does look like this is a great find. Looks like everything is in great cosmetic condition. The games even have the hang tabs that I love to keep on the cases. Very nice, indeed!!!

Well I DID re-post there but wrong or right I have had much more response in THIS thread where I find it's just been lost among all the other (and admittedly some better) finds in the other thread so............

[ButtonMasher123]

I think the thread was posted in the right place. The finds threads are usually about bragging when you got a really good deal on something. The OP didn't even give the price he payed for his SMS lot so I don't think that was the nature of his post at all. He was simply excited that he got a new toy and he wanted to share.

[ShinobiMan]

Nice haul OldSchoolGamer! The SMS is a great machine that provided me with many years of joy.

Finding those 3D glasses is a pain in the ass, especially ones that work. The SMS games that utilize that technology are very unique and fun to play.

You must get MAZE HUNTER 3D! It's my favorite along with Out Run 3D.

Thank you, yes that is exactly it................
