      My favourite game was spellcaster
      But the difficulty was dark souls level.

      @greenkitty82 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SHIFTY never played that one but looking to explore more games on the system as I only have 7. The Mickey Mouse games were pretty good for the time, also really like prince of Persia but I prefer the 80/90s stuff because not only were they the games I grew up with but they just have that charm to them that I don't think the realistic modern stuff has. Don't get me wrong, I do really like the assassins creed games on the newer systems and it's incredible how technology has advanced but I always go back to playing the Master system, snes or megadrive. It's just so much fun.

    It’s so good to see so many people showing appreciation for the SMS. I was the only kid on my block that owned one. Everyone else had the NES. I loved this system. Over the years I had lost it from moving. I purchased another a couple years ago and have collected 42 games since. Still one of the greatest I say. Awesome list friend!

    I had a Master System II with built in Sonic the Hedgehog, both that and R-Type were my favourite games. The Mega Drive games were on average £40-£50 so the £10-£15 Master System games were in my rage in the early 90s. It was a step up from the Spectrum +2 that I had, that was a nightmare to use.

    There are many games missing from this list that could have easily replaced clunky ports like Chase HQ, Strider, or Shadow Dancer on this list. Original Phantasy Star, Fantasy Zone 2 (better than the first, too), and Alien Syndrome, to name a few. Your #1 is spot on; Dragons Trap (and its recent hand drawn remaster) has been one of my favorite games for a VERY long time.

    I can't believe that you left off "ALIEN SYNDROME". Which i personally think should be included in the top 10. I played that game till it basically incinerated. I digress...I loved my Sega Master System so much i never bought any of the Nintendo systems. I was born in 74' and grew up during the home video game system revolution. From Pong to the many Atari systems. Between me and my friends, we pretty much owned them all. So each of us would ask for game systems that were different from one another so we could pretty much play whatever was on the market. Once I got the Master System for Christmas, I was sold on Sega. I never bought any others till i had kids of my own (and that wasn't until Dec of 99'). I had the Master System, Genesis, the Game Gear, the Sega CD attachment and the 32X attachment (that was a mistake), and the Saturn. I bought the Dreamcast for my sons, but i don't recall ever playing anything on the Dreamcast personally, and my kids lost interest in it, instead opting for the more popular consoles. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    Always wanted one growing up. I had a C64 at the time. The commodore 64 had it's own charms but not like this. The master system will be my next buy I think.

    • @OldAussieAds
      @OldAussieAds ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Agreed. The charm of the C64 is it’s music and sound. It beats every other system of the day (including Master System). And also for how far the developers stretched its capabilities (e.g. compare it’s early 90s games to it’s early 80s games). But the actual games were usually better on the Master System. Especially arcade conversions.
      Edit: If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the amazing Sonic The Hedgehog port for the C64. The only thing it requires above a stock C64 is more RAM. It looks as good as the Master System and has the distinctive VIC sound. Oh and the C64 has the full Super Mario Bros. too (using just 64K RAM).

      If it would have sold good in US, Sega would have had huge edge on Nintendo. When you compare Sega genesis to SNES it is obvious that genesis has more limitations than snes. And still Sega would score a tie agains super nes. Nes had better games than master system but master system had much more powerful hardware than nes, the gap between those two were wider than the gap between snes and genesis, genesis was just little less powerful than snes but master system was moderately more powerful than nes. Nes still had more games and most importantly more good games. Imagine if master system would have had just two hugely succesful game franchises in US. It propably would not still outsell nes but it would have tightened the sales gap between them, would have made Sega household name (before genesis), build a fanbase and customer base etc. Genesis could have the edge on launch if Master System would have reached its full potential. You gotta remember that pressure since the war between 16bit consoles was so tight and bloody, atleast partly was responsible for making Sega of Japan allmost panic and make stupid decisions.

The SNES couldn't process the speeds of the Mega Drive couldn't hold frame rate as well as the Mega Drive, as well as loading was poor on the SNES compared to the SEGA Mega Drive. Another incorrection even though the Nes had more games then the SEGA Master System they were not well made the speeds were very poor on the Nes the frame rate worse the graphics couldn't even process proper quality pixels as well the Nes had far worse hand controllers then the SEGA Master System. The SEGA Master System was greatly more powerful then the Nes had far superior frame rate superior pixels the best in any 8BIT console in history not even graphics on computers could match the Master System.The graphics on the SEGA Master even were more superior then the SEGA Mega Drive when pushed to the limit on some games. The Nes could never hope to achieve this. The only reason we should all know now Nintendo was more falsely popular was because they were incredibly greedy slave drivers taking all the best 3rd company parties for themselves during the 1980s SEGA and Atari were the companys that suffered. If SEGA had any of the 3rd parties working for SEGA SEGA would be in the state NIntendo is in now and Nintendo would be struggling.
