Miles Tails Prower Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 What do you think is the best Sega Master System game of all time? I think that "Alex Kidd in Shinobi World" gets this award. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Well as an avid player of the SMS in it's time, the game I remember most is Phantasy Star. It's what got me into console RPG's for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyXB Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Golden Axe Warrior. Its like Zelda for NES. Other good games which I only own as ROMs: Dynamite Dux, Final Bubble Bobble, New Zealand Story, Rainbow Island. But we own Golden Axe Warrior too on the real console.

krisjohn Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Double Dragon Double Dragon? The SMS version is an awful conversion, and I've played the 2600 version so I know what I'm talking about. I don't know that I can find many really enjoyable games for either the SMS or the NES. Yet I enjoy Atari 2600 games and Mega Drive and SNES games. Strange. Rampage seemed okay from what I remember.

Jetboot Jack Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 My favorite is teh blank screen when the power is not turned on To be quiet honest I'm not aware the SMS has any great games - but if someone can suggest some I'd love to be convinced... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SMS version is an awful conversion, and I've played the 2600 version so I know what I'm talking about. Compared to the Genesis port, just about every other classic system port is awful. The SMS version is one of the most faithful 8-bit console conversions. Unlike the NES port, it tries to mimic the arcade, and succeeded for the most part. The levels are sooooooooo much more faithful to the coin-op than NES's. The gameplay is very hard, I'll admit, but that's what keeps me coming back for more. It's not as easy-flowing as the NES version, but oh well. Plus it has the Two-Players at the same time option, something the NES ignored. Is it as good as the NES version? Let's call it a draw, since they both have their good and bad points. Main point is that the SMS port isn't THAT bad, you need a source of beating people up on your SMS. (I know you said nothing about the NES port, but I needed something to compare it to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Miles Tails Prower - c'mon - the SMS was a lame duck of a system - I had to sell these things for a few years in the UK, and saw the games running day in and day out for 4 years... I seriosusly cannot think of ONE great game on the system - the arcade ports were woeful, the Genesis hand-me downs were well just that hand me downs... I never got into the RPG's 'cos the NES titles seemed far more involving - Zelda, FF, Dragon Quest etc... Even if you hate me try harder to defend the SMS! sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Were any of the 3D LCD shutter glasses games any good, or were they all just glorified proof-of-concept tech demos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigferret Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Actually, the 3D missle shooting game (I forget the actual title) was outstanding. Graphics notwithstanding, the 3D effect was the best ever in a videogame. And R-Type was a great conversion of a great game. The graphics were detailed and the game was faithful to its arcade parent. In fact, I played the snot out of the SMS version of R-Type while I was in college and it was the major reason I recall the system fondly to this day. Just my two cents.

waltew Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I think Fantasy Zone deserves some credit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 FANTASY ZONE?? Youd have to either be really bored, or really uhh.. to attemtpt to play that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 By the time the SMS version of R-Type came out in the UK I'm sure NEC had released the PC ENgine version - now that was a SUPERB version of the arcade game!!!! sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
