    I ended up going with

     

    Primary genre : Shooter

    Sub Genre : Comedic Simulator

     

    Im still not 100% on this but this format fits with the design of my book.

    I still have time till I get it printed to change this so I am still open to suggestions.

    I am currently working on a project to list all the Sega Master system games and the people who created them.

    I am having trouble finding the developers for the following games and was hoping someone could help me out.

    I have cross referenced my information with the leading SMS sites and they have either conflicting information or suspect someone else did it.

    Proof would be awesome if you have it otherwise just your reason why would be great!

    Klax

    Montazumas Revenge

    Hang-On - it come with it and was the only game I had for some time, so loved it.

    Choplifter - Best version I think, great pick up and play game, and just feels so mastersystemy

    Enduro Racer - Again not much actual game, but so different from all the others as well as adding upgrades etc

     

    I recently reviewed Choplifter on my channel, if anybody is interested you can see the link in my sig... Enduro Racer is on my soon to do list also, love the Mastersystem...

    Man I loved Enduro Racer and I only found out recently that in the west we got a cut down version of the game!!

    In the western version we had 5 levels repeated twice on a 128kb cart, where as in Japan they had 10 individual levels with addition graphics on a 256kb cart.

    So you guys that like Sonic on the SMS.. did you also have the Genesis version (since that came out before the SMS version) prior, and yet still enjoy it on the SMS? Just curious

    I had it first on the sms as I didnt have a Genesis at the time and it was a pretty good version keeping in mind the levels were totally different to the genesis version.

    Mind you once I upgraded to a Genesis I never went back.

    Marble Madness is definitely a maze game, not a puzzle game. It's the same genre as Pac-Man. I've seen some people use maze as a subcategory of puzzle, but that always confuses me because they don't have a lot in common with each other.

     

    But, I do agree with those who say a lot of early arcade games don't fall neatly into any genre. Marble Madness, though, is pretty clearcut IMO.

     

    Paperboy is one of those that has elements of a lot of genres but doesn't belong to one. I'd actually call it a simulation. Maybe an action simulation if you want to be specific.

    Its was a toss up between Driving Shooter and Action Simulation but I think Im going to lean towards the latter as its not really a driving game but a riding game. Having Action in front of simulator seems to work well.

    How about miscellaneous, as there are other games that defy all genres.Put me down for a copy at any rate

    Ha will do, fyi It's a sega master system book, I asked this question here because more people would know of paperboy than in sega forums.

    I have decided to choose between the following genres: Shooter, vehicular combat or simulation.

    I was thinking about Arcade but in the sms library of games this would be the only game that would be classified that, so I am determined to find a different more specific genre

    Ok I should probably elaborate on this.

    I am currently putting together a book on video games aimed at both young and old.

    I decided early on that I wasn't going to use Action as a genre because then I would need to have a sub genre.

    This sub genre would in 99% off the time explain the game perfectly rendering the action part pointless.

     

    That said there are games that don't fit this mold ie: Paperboy, Rampage, Marble Madness... etc.

    Rampage and Marble Madness could be shoe horned into beat em up and puzzle respectively.

     

    I'm worried that if I use Arcade as a genre that it would confuse because these games were found in the Arcades, making this a meaningless genre like Action.

    Am I over thinking this?
