Is the Sega Master System Region Free???

[itobandito]

I have been playing some Sega Master System Roms and think its a pretty cool little system. I was wondering if the games/system were region free. I really want to get Ninja Gaiden for the system if I buy it but that game only came out in the U.K. I believe. Also can anyone recommend some other games??

yes, SMS is region free between US and UK games

One UK game I strongly recommend, is Sonic Chaos

Awesome, I think I am going to try and get a complete boxed system now. If any one is selling one or knows if some one is selling one let me know. I will post something about it in the buying selling later. In the mean time, any one recommend any games? Going to try Sonic Chaos as well. Thanks for the info.

There's a few European games that have issues on a US system due to the 50/60Hz issue, but they're in a tiny minority.

What about Brazilian games? Those published by TecToy?
