Sadly Auster killed all possible discussion of this console.
Not a big library, not the best soundchip, but still has some charming games.
I played Game Gear more.

Is this game really 5 minutes long

[Anonymous No.10942387]

>>10942347
It's two levels with one boss at the end of the second level, then it loops forever. So yes, one loop is just five minutes long.

I’ve been coming around on it lately. Had one as a kid and didn’t really like it. Only had Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy.
Played Fantasy Zone and Phantasy Star recently. Very cool games, but it feels like I may have seen the best already.

[Anonymous No.10942737]

There are some other good one:

Castle of Illusion
Land of Illusion
Ninja Gaiden (though a bit easy)
Golden Axe Warrior (good Zelda clone)
Lucky Dime Caper
Wonder Boy III
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World

Some of the arcade ports are alright, like >>10942405 , Shinobi and Wonder Boy in Monster Land

It's by far one of my favorite consoles of all time, such good hardware for its time, and with a nice library to match. I'm aware most of the library it has also came out on Game Gear, but I disagree it takes away from the quality, looking at the titles it has by themselves it's solid, that's all that really matters, especially looking back since they had a different role, one at home, the other portable.

Also, usually Master System has a resolution that allows me to see more, so I usually prefer it. Sure a lot of the library are inferior ports too, but that simplicity has it's charm to me, a stellar console.

Great hardware for the time and had some good exclusives but the library was too small for the SMS to really give the NES a run for its money.

[Anonymous No.10943469]

>>10943429
This.

It's tough, because the Master System, by itself, has so much going for it, but it's overshadowed both by an iconic and classic successor... and the arguably most beloved and important of all the home consoles ever made as it's competitor, it's a tough spot to be in, and it doesn't help that it had most of its library ported to the Game Gear, which was also more popular overall... a shame.

Having a built-in game was a novel concept. Wish they had kept it around. The Genesis could've easily had something like Flicky built into its system memory.

I have the same PAL console and the original box.
My favourite games were the built in Alex Kidd game, Asterix, Lemmings, Casino Games, and Cool Spot. I had Sonic the Hedgehog but I never enjoyed it. Sonic was never good.

Alex Kidd Hi tech world is absolute shite

But yes I agree, the SMS has some real bangers. You could have included Choplifter, Jurassic Park and R-Type (off the top of my head).

Why did they give it a 6-button controller? The fuck is it supposed to do with all these extra buttons?

[Anonymous No.10950151]

Boy, I'm sure glad we're rid of that stupid Sega system moron. As we all know, the name of the Sega Master System is the Sega Master System, and not the Sega System. You will never see those two words together, anywhere, because they aren't real.
That troll invented the whole thing, probably because it gave him (or her) some sort of power trip. Imagine the gall, concocting this phony name Sega System for no reason whatsoever, and trying to tell us all about this "true history" as he called it.
Fortunately, we all banded together and with the help of the benevolent Moderators and Janitors who I love (and I really mean that) we were able to censor that Sega System troll right out of existence. I'm sure we'll never hear from him again, and we will never see those polluted, forbidden words "Sega System" ever again.
HOORAY!!!

I mean, they probably made so many Genesis too, they likely still have a bunch of these controllers to sell, it's also likely they'd prefer to just have a single controller to manufacture instead of one for Genesis and one for Master System, since it's their strategy to sell both even nowadays really.
