>>10941924Appears to be some kind of Master System
Luv me Transbotsimple as
>>10942212Is this game really 5 minutes long
>>10942347It'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.
>>10941924MS Double Dragon is better than NES
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.
>>10942670There are some other good one:Castle of IllusionLand of IllusionNinja Gaiden (though a bit easy)Golden Axe Warrior (good Zelda clone)Lucky Dime CaperWonder Boy IIIAlex Kidd in Shinobi WorldSome of the arcade ports are alright, like >>10942405 , Shinobi and Wonder Boy in Monster Land

>>10941924It'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.
for me, its Hang on
>>10941924Great 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.
>>10943429This.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.
>>10941924Should I get a US model and mod it with FM sound or the japanese one with fm sound built in?
>>10942670Play Aztec Adventure. Give it time. Its a wonderful game, which you will hate with a passion at first. I am the only person I know that has finished it. Also Give Psycho Fox a go.
>>10941924Having 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.
>>10941924What games does thing even has, other than Fantasy Zone 2?
>>10941924I 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.

>>10947186Alex Kidd Hi tech world is absolute shiteOut Run Europa is garbageRocky isn't any fun at allBut 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).
>>10941924Sound chip sucked balls, other that a nice system.
Literally playing phantasy star and loving everything about it. Peak aesthetic. Only jrpg that's grabbed me in almost a decade.
>>10941924What's the difference between this version and the previous ten?
>>10948761
Im very proud of my sega system, got one like 5--6 years back and its a damn fine sysyem. Choplifter is stellar, the phaser games are better than youd imagine, arcade ports are better than nes imo. Idk, im no expert but its a fun console.
>>10947186>Wonder Boy in Monster Land I prefer the MS version actually
>>10941924I've been wondering, whatever happened to that Sega System guy? I remember he used to shitpost in these threads all the time.
>>10948739>Sound chip sucked ballsStill better than the one on Genesis.
>>10949760good times. Mods started handing out 2 week bans to anyone who imitated him.
>>10947186>>10943469Why did they give it a 6-button controller? The fuck is it supposed to do with all these extra buttons?
>>10949878they feel nice when you cram the controller.
Had a few fun games, but pic related always kept the family coming back.Another quality game was Penguin Land, even came with a level editor.
>>10951672I failed to mention this game also makes it clear that Sun Wukong from 'The Journey to the West' was actually a red-haired white man by the name of Michael Chen.
>>10949878I 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.
