What are your TOP 3 Sega Master System games of all time? Mine are Wonderboy 3, Golvellious & The Ninja.

If you couldn't use ACTION as a genre for the Ghostbusters game (C64,atari2600,master system) what would you use?

I do like (comedic) simulation, someone on another forum suggested "VEHICULAR COMBAT" any thoughts?

true, thanks again

Im ok with photoshop but not great. It might be an impossible ask to get a shot of a box in great condition it is after all over 30 years old!

Thanks heaps for taking the time to take those photos, Unfortunately the box is a little too damaged to use in the book and its a shame because that was exactly the console box I wanted shots from. Oh well thanks again.

Awesome, Thanks heaps

Im open to anything at this point, can you send it to me

Does anyone have or know where I can get a hires scan or photo of a Sega Master System box that I can use for my book. At this point I dont care which bundle it is so long it is good quality.

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.

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

Problem is I still need a genre to put it under

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?

I put arcade along with action as meaningless genres that dont really describe the game properly

Simulation does have merit, rpg might be a stretch shooter is probably the closest but should it refer to driving or racing? Maybe it should be a main then sub genre like driving shooter or racing shooter

If you couldnt use ACTION as a genre, what genre would you give Paperboy the game?
