  • SEGA has so many great games on their consoles that are often passed up. If you're not as familiar with SEGA's classic consoles, here's a few decent ones to check out.
    This is a montage of three videos I have done in the past. If you're getting deja vu, that's why.

      You can't leave out Phantasy Star. And the Master System's best shooters were phenomenal: R-Type, Aleste/Power Strike I & II, Fantasy Zone I & II, and Sagaia honestly are actually slightly superior to the already legendary NES/Famicom lineup of classic shooters, such as Gradius I & II, Lifeforce, Over Horizon, Gun-Nac, Uchuu Keibitai SDF, Recca, and Crisis Force.

Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck is a less well known game on the SMS, but it's graphics are nearly 16-bit in quality. The NewZealand Story port on the Master System is excellent as well.

    That penguin game (Doki Doki Penguin Land, 1985) is _the_ reason to own an SG-1000, and/or _the_ reason to figure out how to emulate it. That is one of the best games of the whole 8 bit era, and the original SG-1000 game is better than its later sequels (on the Sega Genesis, etc.). And, not at all coincidentally, it is _the type of game_ that isn't much hampered by the system's limited graphical capabilities.

    Golden Axe Warrior is a pretty good Zelda clone. In scope it fots between Zelda 1 & Link to the Past. It didnt feel quite as tight in execution as the Zelda games to me but certainly not bad. Only 2 real complaints
    1) starting out the range of your weapon is horrible & hard to line up.
    2) there are no start or select buttons on the Master System controller; only 2 action buttons. This unfortunately means one button is you equipped item & the other brings up your item menu. This results in you having to switch items way more than in Zelda. Its mitigated a bit by sone items doing multi duty; like the axe being a weapon & able to cut down trees to find hidden areas. But in general its a bit frustrating especially after having played Zelda, but not a game breaker.

You have a super floaty jump and can speed up or slow down time, and you ransack a castle room by toom, looking for colored keys and taking on mimor platforming challenges. There is a NES sequel, but it doesn't play as well and the map osnt as well thought out.
