Most of these inquiries come from the garden-variety SMS poster that came with a lot of the games...
1) How many different games actually use the Sports Pad? I know about Sports Pad Football, and the poster says that Great Ice Hockey works with it, but is that it? I know, for instance, that the manual in my copy of Hang On / Safari Hunt claims that the Sports Pad can be used. :hmm: (How would one even do that?)
2) In the "Sega Card" section, Woody Pop is listed as being available (this would have been in the summer of 1987). I have seen it for the Game Gear, but never as an SMS title. Did this make it out for the SMS at all?
3) Speaking of released games, the "Coming Soon" section lists the following titles (again, this would have been summer of 1987):
Monopoly
SDI
Party Games
Zillion II
Combat & Rescue
Of those, I know only of Monopoly and Zillion II -- what about the others?
4) Back to Woody Pop again. The poster mentions that the "Sega Paddle Control is required for play." Anyone ever seen one of these? And if so, what game would you even use it for? (Woody Pop is a Breakout-kinda game.)
5) Is there another poster out there? I have several copies of this 1987 one (with apparently two different printings at least -- some from Japan and some from Taiwan) but no others.
6) Hang On / Astro Warrior came only as a pack-in with the Sega Base System (the cheap version with just one control pad and no gun). The question here is, is the Base System marked as such on the console itself? Every Master System deck I've ever seen is just that -- it says "Master System" right on the plastic.
Raccoon Lad or anyone else, your expertise is awaited...and any answers to these would be greatly appreciated in the next DP Guide.
