  • While the Sega Master System experienced a rather tragic(and unfair) run in the US, I still have some fond memories of playing it with friends. That first year it was on the market brought with it some really fun titles, and we take a look at a bunch of them here.

    Episode Notes:
    1. Music- Opening Monologue is from Super Hang-On.
    Closing Monologue is from Shinobi.
    2. All games captured on a Mega SG with the exception of Snail Maze. I used an emulator for that.
    3. There was also 2 light gun releases in that first year. Safari Hunt and Marksman Shooting & Trap Shooting. I didn't play them early in the systems life so I didn;t include them here. I can't play them on my capture setup, anyway.
    4. The Ninja really is hard. No joke.
    5. The Master System started showing up in stores during the summer of 1986. I think my buddy Rob got his in October that year.
    6. I was eventually exposed to Master System 3D gaming, which was something I'll never forget. That stereoscopic effect was incredible at the time.
    7. The Master System would go on to have one of the best light gun libraries ever. They dominate my later memories of the platform.

    In My Hero, even if you defeat the top thug and rescue your girl, she's quickly carried off again, and the three levels loop indefinitely, so you never get the satisfaction of saving your girl for good.

      besides allowing these smaller card games to save space by doing that... it was also a common early Arcade design at the time to just endlessly loop and going for High Scores. Thank goodness that progression to an ending overtook that style.

    Just to say thanx for doing so many uploads. I don't know if you ever read my comments but I had to sell my huge collection during hard times because of a dui and was a taxi driver...yes yes self inflicted. But thank the segs lord x for emulation right? The master system was my very first console bought for me by parents divorced trying to buy me out as the only child...my first games not including the hang on and safari hunt (and of course snail maze that was a secret and was a joy to find) - built In was choplifter. it introduced me to sega and then from there I found the arcade scalers. The rest is history. I have my own channel and upload to a very different crowd and it warms my heart to read my comments so I hope you get the same thing as you deserve it for reminding me of the good times I had once upon the 80s and 90s.... best wishes too sega lord x

I'm 36 now and I'm sure he had no idea that all these years later I'd still be gaming. I honestly forgot how great these games sounded. Classic!

    I remember before I was a teenager going to the local arcade spots, it was there I saw something special: Sega arcade games. Why was Sega so special? Easy! Sega had hardware that no computer system could emulate much less a game system. Sega was special because in a way, it was special on so many fronts (graphics, hardware, music, and gameplay). In retrospect, I learned that Sega built arcade boards that weren't possible on home hardware because of costs, like the System Y-board that consisted of 3 CPU's, a dedicated mother board specifically for music, and dedicated graphic's motherboard! All I knew is when I saw the Sega logo on a new arcade cabinet, as I approached it, I was about to witness something I've never thought of before and was going to see something on a monitor I've never witnessed. Hang On blow me away with sprite scaling. Out Run not only had ten times more sprites but beautiful music, and depicted worlds I wish I could travel to. After Burner, even more sprites, scaling, and introduced screen rotation! By the time I saw Power Drift, I said to myself, Sega is unstoppable and their magic was truly endless.
    As a young boy, I took a serious gamble. While I everyone else was purchasing the NES, I told my dad, I wanted the Sega Master System (SMS). The impetus for choosing the underdog was because of Sega in the arcades. Even before I knew what the Fourier transform was, I knew there was no way the SMS could even remotely capture the true arcade experience, however, if I could just have 10% of what Sega brought in the arcades, it would be sufficient. There was a price for choosing the SMS, I couldn't trade games because most people because owned the NES. However, most people who owned the SMS were fanatical like I was. We understood something NES owners didn't. Sega was the true conquer. Choosing the SMS was choosing the true innovator. Sega was the future because the future was arcade power. I knew, one day, 16bit... 32 bit would be coming to the home. There was no one greater, no company more powerful, and no company that had "MAGIC", like Sega (they created more innovative games than no other company... bar none). Sega was better than Disney or any other company out there. They had the power to innovate games, like Shinobi or Goldan Axe. Everything they did was truly a work of art. I admired other tier one companies like Taito, SNK, Data East, or Namco. Always scarred those companies would beat my champion, Sega. In the end, Sega always toppled their competitors. I was always an outsider, in video games, because Sega because forced me to accept a level of excellence that few companies could adopt.
    I always thought Sega would eventually adopt their arcade hardware to consoles. However, I didn't foresee how the arcade market would adopt to changes. Between 1984 and 1999 (before I went to school and earned my doctorate in chemical physics), Sega was more than a name, it was a segment of my life that brought me incredible joy and nostalgia that lasted as long as the quarter in the arcade cabinet lasted. I saw wonderment in the mystical powers of the AM2 developers or the dazzling powerful synthesizers from AfterBurner burned into my psyche... Sega was magic.

      I had the same sentiments. There were two kinda games growing up. Games made by Sega and the ones that weren't. Ever since playing turbo in the arcade, always gravitaated toward Sega. The sublime memories of playing outrun and space harrier in the arcade as a kid. Simply blew my mind.
      Also chose SMS because of the arcade games. One of the best decisions I made. All the SMS owners became instant friends like a secret clique.

      I agree with you. This was the first Golden Age of video games. If it didn't say SEGA, then it wasn't worth playing. SEGA was the Ferrari of games while Capcom was the Cadillac. I remember when I got the sega master system I felt like I was ten feet tall and nobody could tell me nothing. Long story short, Sega was the shit.

    I feel like owning a Master System back then,in the US, was kind of like owning a Wii U in the early 2010s. You may not have gotten the big titles a lot of people remember, but you had some one of a kind exclusives that other platforms simply didn't have an equivalent to

      I think the Wii U, comparing the systems with their era in mind, had a significantly worse library than the master system. Like what did the Wii U have? ZombiU, Bayonetta, Pokken, some derivative Mario titles, Wonderful 101, Xenoblades, don’t get me wrong I liked the Wii U, I just don’t think Nintendo delivered on the systems potential. Like it could’ve been a really unique experience and they kind of did nothing with it.

    This brought back a lot of memories. I got the Master System in 1987, so I had a lot of these. I have a lot of thoughts on this.
    -finding Snail Maze by accident blew my mind.
    -Black Belt is so funny. The guy is going out to do some street fighting and he makes sure to put on his gi of all things, presumably to give the enemies a fighting chance.
    -Choplifter was my first game aside from the pack-in. It was really good at the time. My brother screamed out the window to my mom "I killed a hostage." while people were walking by. Quite amusing.
    -Ghost House was pretty tough, in my opinion. I went back and played it again a couple of years ago and it could get quite tough. It was my first card game.
    -I seem to recall understanding F-16: Fighting Falcon when I used to play it. I didn't hate it, but it did lack staying power. I haven't gone back to it.
    -Hang On and Grand Prix were pretty good, but could have used some music.
    -Not only is Ninja hard, but you have to find a hidden item or items to actually finish it. And there was no Nintendo Power to help us out.
    -I remember getting pretty good at Super Tennis. I persisted enough to actually beat it once. I seem to recall being happy that I would never have to play it again because the control and timing were pretty tough.
    -I revisited Rambo fairly recently and I came away impressed. For such an early run-and-gun game, it's pretty fair and fun. I found a lot of other games of that type from that time rely on being overwhelming. It may be my favorite early run-and-gun, as it feels like games that came later. When I say early, I'd say pre-MERCS.
    Anyway, I really enjoyed this one because I had a very similar experience of most of these games in their own time. Very nice work here, SLX.

    I got my Master System with Hang-On/Safari Hunt in 1986 at just five years old! I had many of the early games, and I loved or at least liked all the games I ever had for the system.

    Remember owning Teddy Boy, World Grand Prix, My Hero, Choplifter and Ghost House of the ones you have shown in the video.
    Teddy Boy and Choplifter were my favs out of those.
    My Hero I didnt like at first cuz it was really incredibly hard and discouraging. But after trying to progress very hard after I realised I had nothing more to play it surprised me quite much. Gameplay changes also with lot of obstacles and Jump N Run passages. Its a hidden gem to me.
    Teddy Boy was addictive. Needless to say its getting harder when you progress. Like the Shooting mechanic and enemy design in this game.

Most of the Sega games I bought retailed around 29 to 39 bucks. I wished the controllers had a pause function.

      Yup, the Master System was pretty successful in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil, and only average in its home market of Japan. It never really took off in North America due to Nintendo's harsh anti competitive behaviour at the time which prevented 3rd parties from developing for other systems. I got the Master System in 89 for Christmas with Power Strike (my favourite game of all time) and a bunch of other great games.

Although Nintendo was bigger here also, I'm glad in Europe it did better then the USA and I had more people around who had the system, so as we where on a budget and bought different games so we could lend them from each other.

    One of my cousins that owned a Sega Master System actually had the version that contained "Hang On" and "Safari Hunt" built onto the console.

    Good Sega Lord X. I am watching all your videos and I would like to congratulate you on the material you produce. It is the best channel I've seen so far talking about Saturn, and one of the best talking about Sega in general.
    On the other hand, I would like to make a little clarification about the SG-1000. I know that you produce a lot of material and it is normal that there is some little data that is not correct. It is very common to think that this console is a first iteration of the Master System in Japan, but in reality it is a totally different video game console. The SG-1000 is for the Master System (or Mark III in Japan), the same as the Master System is for the Sega Genesys. They are different systems backwards compatible with each other via hardware. Nothing else. In fact, one of Genesys' prototypes was called Mark V, and on some European Mega Drive mother boards they have a screenprint that puts: SG MKV (Sega Mark X). I don't know if this also happens on Genesys boards (I'm from Europe).
    I'm sorry for my English, I used the automatic translator because I didn't know how to express some things in English and I hope that didn't make me sound too rude or unwise.
    Greetings and, please, keep up the great work you are doing.

    I was just about to get my then dream machine the Sega Genesis and told my friends in the neighborhood about it. They said "what do you mean new system? We've had that for years." We argued for awhile, and I just said "show me." They told me it was in the closet. I was stunned they'd have a several hundred dollar new console in the closet not being played but yet had a nes out for play. When their dad arrived they asked him to get it and he did. They had about 8 games, and that was my first experience with the master system. I was blown away and always wanted one. Didn't get it until a few years ago. Still think it's funny that people always assume the master system is the Genesis.

    I believe there was also a Hang-On/Astro-Warrior bundle for the Sega Base System (the Master System without the zapper).
    My first games for the system was Kung Fu Kid and Shanghai back in 1987 when I received it as a birthday gift. I miss the advancements we saw throughout the 8, 16, and initial disc-based consoles.

    I had Safari Hunt and Hang on as built in games for one of my SMS'. I even had My Hero on the card, it was a hard game and I didnt play it much though I ended up being more interested in the RPGs on the system like Phantasy Star, Ys, and Miracle Warriors. I liked Alex Kidd and Astro Warrior, the latter I always forgot the name of but the game was easy to remember whenever I got to see screen shots of gameplay.

The manga books were licensed by Viz Media while Manga Entertainment licensed the anime series with an English dub from Toei Animation. Viz will bring the manga back around the next year now they're working on it this year.

  • @HellTantrumbull
    @HellTantrumbull 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    For anyone that doesn't know, there were different revisions for the master system that came with certain games built in. the one I had came with Hang-On and Safari Hunt and also came with the gun packed in with the system. from looking at several videos on youtube over the years I saw that a lot of people just didn't see that revision that came with those two games built in and only assumed it came in cart form.
    For cart and card games I had Double Dragon, Rambo 3, Rocky, Zillion 1 and 2, Shinobi, Fantasy Zone the maze, Transbot, Ghost House and Ghostbusters.
    Really wish I could have got Phantasy Star, Choplifter, Golden Axe Warrior, the Ninja and Fantasy Zone but sadly none of the stores had the games or most other MS titles in stock since they were mostly playing favorites with the nes at the time.

    Out of all of the early games Enduro Racer was the most addictive. I would spend months playing it even after picking up true greats like Wonderboy 3 much later on. There was something truly amazing about hitting the high speeds on ramps and timing it so you hit the top speed constantly when fully upgraded that kept bringing me back. I still go back to it today and can't resist the odd few laps, was even more surprised a couple of years ago when I saw the Japanese release had double the tracks with the PAL release being cut in half to fit on a budget card. Sure it should have made it onto this list!

Zaxxon 3D was sooo much better when it came to flying games imo with this system. Too bad SEGA flopped with the Dreamcast cuz I was a huge fan.
