- What is your favorite game on this system?

Wonder Boy III the Dragon's Trap

- What are some of your other favorites?

Phantasy Star, R-Type, Space Harrier, Double Dragon, Wonderboy in Monster World, and last but not least Cloud Master.

- Did any game exceed what you thought the system was capable of?

Phantasy Star - The 3D dungeons was top tier in it's day, and something very unexpected from a 8-bit rpg.

- Which games had the best graphics? The best sound?

I was in awe of the R-Type translation - plus it saved me a million quarters

The "Get Ready" in Space Harrier was a big surprise for me... my Sega talked to me!!!

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

It was at a Target store. They had a demo NES and SMS side by side. The NES was running Duck Hunt and the SMS was running the "Gun Range" game (can't remember the title). The SMS made a better impression on me.

- Did you own the system "back in the day"? How about now?

Yup, I had one... about the only kid in my school that did. Everyone else had a 2600 or a NES. Which I also had... chumps! I run my SMS games on my genesis or game gear with the converters nowadays. I'd love to get a model 2 mini SMS though.

- How many games do you have for it?

I had about 40... now about 15... but I'm always adding on

- Any stories surrounding the system that you can share with us?

I used to get alot of flack from friends for even having a SMS in my house. The area seemed to be VERY anti-sega. Nobody wanted to come visit and play it with me. So I usually went to their house to play NES. There was one time my friend down the street was having a birthday party and I thought it would be really cool to bring my SMS for other kids to play while the NES was being used. Funny thing was that my friend got Double Dragon for the NES from his folks for his birthday present and that was mostly what was being played. I also had this game, but on the SMS. After a little while some of the other kids got bored with watching Double Dragon being played and decided to try the SMS. Soon afterward they discovered the SMS Double Dragon and started playing it... about 10 minutes later the NES was feeling quite ignored I had alot of my seemingly anti-sega friends asking to borrow the SMS for the weekend after that.
