I really like the NES, so I tried a few Master System games and I can day its a great console too, it's like finding some NES games you didn't knew about.I liked Sonic 1, Alex Kidd Miracle World, Shinobi World, Asterix, Fantasy Zone, Aleste, Phantasy Star, Golden Axe Legend, Master of Darkness, Donald Lucky Dime Caper, Illusion games, and many others.It would be neat if Sega did a SMS Collection or something, I'd like to see more love to this console.
Congrats?
>>720945787I always like the look of the console itself. How is the port for sonic 1 compared to the genesis version?
>>720945787soul pic but honestly theres not much reason to play the master system sonic games in 2025literally just games for broke people
Big fan of Mark III covers.>>720946093They're different games.SMS Sonic feels more like a traditional 2D Platformer, you may like or not like that.
Most of my exposure was via the game gear.
>>720945787The Master System is such a cool looking console.
>>720946134They're different games from the Genesis version. I think they're pretty fun. Same for the Game Gear Sonic games.
>>720946134They take less than 30 minutes to complete, saying there's no reason to play them is weird when you can complete the each game in a single sitting.
>>720945787Buy the light gun, the master had a considerably bigger shooter library than the NES
>>720945787>on wii shop channel>see Sonic 2>buy it and download>"Oh boy, this is gonna be great!">game starts, you're in a minecart and the graphics look like shitThis was how I found out what the Master System was.

>>720948294MEANWHILE, IN JAPAN...
>>720945787Dime Caper is slept on, great game.
>>720946134The PC ports/remakes kick ass.
bump for videogames

OP your literally on the wrong board
>>720946093It's actually pretty alright SMS Sonic 2 I didn't care about
>>720954672>making a thread about the sms on /vr/no thanks i dont want unfunny shitposts
>>720955075To be fair your thread is pretty shit. You just randomly listed a bunch of games and didn't even say why you enjoyed them. A 3 year old could do a better job than this.
>>720948632>go to play some relaxing sonic 2>get the hardest sonic game of the 90s
>>720945787The master system has way better graphics than the NES and Phantasy Star blows the fuck out of FF, DQ and Ultima.
>>720945787>Phantasy Starmy brother
>>720957621Fucked up that 1 and 4 were the only good ones.
I can't stand its horrible sound chip, why so high pitched and samey.
It feels like I've been unlocking SMS games from random Sega titles all my life
>>720948632I actually forgot the Wii VC had SMS games, I think it even had NeoGeo.
>>720945787Don't forget Wonder Boy: Dragon's Traphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBdu19yBNkQ
Phantasy Star 1 is fantastic. Granted I played the new version for babies.
>>720962021Funny how this game got retooled as some comic character's game for Brazil.
>>720959457https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt60yd_nlLQ&t=39s
>>720962841Pretty much every Wonder Boy game has like 5 different variations with different names and characters. The first game's NES port became Adventure Island, Monster Land got a PC Engine port licensed off of some Japan only sticker collecting IP (there's a Game Center CX episode of this one), and so on.Sega's contract with Westone must've felt like a real raw deal, since they basically just owned the name of the franchise and the specific versions of the games made for them. I question if Sega even owns those entirely anymore, since they pulled those games from the Switch port of Sega Genesis Classics.
>>720948971"Martial Arts Violence, but also with Mad Max apocalypse!" seems like it'd sell great to today's market, but the marketers probably figured no 80s kid could convince their parents to buy it for them :P
>>720963227Kinda funny how it took 6 years for adventure Island to make it to Europe, by then Wonderboy already had 4 games on the sms
>>720965630Did you enjoy GG Aleste 3?
>>720963193https://streamable.com/7jeume
Stealth Brazil gaming general?
>>720945787I genuinely think Sonic on the Master System is the best game in the entire series.Coz it has the best handling/control, and the best level design focusing on pure platforming, and no gimmick levels.Also wonderboy 3 is the second best "Search Action" game ever made after Super Metroid.
>>720946093It's not a port. It's an entirely original game.
Why wasn't the master system more popular? It seems to have had better graphics.
Maze Hunter 3D is a pretty neat little game. If you have a 3DS, play it in the Sega 3D Classics Collection so you can actually take advantage of its gimmick.
Road Rash looks amazing.I am ignorant of what was on this particular system so I am doing some catching on, you could tell me it is the Genesis version and I would had believed you.
>>720945787Play Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. There's an in-game SMS collection.
>>720973540Nintendo Switch has Games.
I want to play Golden Axe Warrior. It's a pretty shameless Zelda clone, but it actually looks pretty dope:https://youtu.be/0WfQs5lWlQI
>>720974285>I want to playWell, what's stopping you? Go do it.
>>720973540Because Sega quickly abandoned it to move to 16 bit.If you want to see what the master system would've looked like if Sega weren't fucking stupid, here.https://youtu.be/qNSKOxdKVwk?t=111
>>720973540Nintendo requested platform exclusivity to any 3rd party releasing games for it, which hurt the SMS' library (Sega would ask some small studio or even themselves to do the ports of some games), Tonka which distributed the console in NA did a poor job at selling the system and wouldn't even release some games in the US.It still managed to do decently well in other parts of the world, mainly Brazil, South Korea and some european countries (iirc Spain loves the Master System).
>>720945787Alex Kidd in Miracle World >>> Super Mario Bros.
>>720945787Master System was my first console so it holds a special place in my heart. Loved picrel as a kid
>>720948632>Would get Gems Collection and Mega Collection mixed up as a kid>Saw Sonic 2 in Gems Collection>Get excited because I'm sick of playing Sonic CD>Start it up>Find out that game gear ports exist
>>720967314I don't see a PS2 in the OP
>>720948294I miss the odd graph paper aesthetic of that era.
>>720948632>sonic adventure dx>oh hey the sms sonic, that was my first sonic game>play it>why's the fucking screen zoomed in? i can't see shit>it's the game gear versionI don't understand why the fuck they used the GG version over SMS.
>>720962021Wonder Boy 3 is an absolute classic.A lot of the licenced platformers on the MS are good too, Castle of Illusion is a different game from the MD one but still a good platformer, Lucky Dime Caper is good and I used to love the Asterix game (first one, just called Asterix)
>>720959457It's TEXAS kino, you wouldn't get it
>>720973540It was more popular than the NES in Europe which is why it had a load of games for British and European IPsBrazil also loved the console and did some really impressive ports. Here's Dynamite Headyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3IzaMhR05E
>>720959457How about this? It still has the higher pitch shit, but it's like 1 instrument at a time vs every single channel. IMO, whoever did this OST had the right idea for that sound chip.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHtuGonTbwQ
>>720945787It's great even for just the GameGear conversion hacks that let you actually see where the fuck you are going.
>>720973540It was, everywhere PAL at least
>>720945787>Playing old pixilated slopLol
Sonic Chaos > Sonic 2
>>720982102PALchads always had more taste than Americunts
>>720980141>>720977918>>720948632I didn't even know the genesis existedI played the game gear games on the gamecube collections and I thought those were the original games, and then when I played the genesis ones I thought they were sequels and didn't know where they came fromI actually did play sonic 1 on the game gear itself a lot as a kid which added to my bewilderment when I learned that wasn't the original sonic and that sega actually had their own consoles
>>720980141They're put together by Americans who never played the SMS so they get the "version I remember" rather than the best versions. Wouldn't surprise me if they had overscan and speed-up whenever they did the SMS PAL versions of games too.
>>720982474this guy gets it
The donald duck game was peak even if it was on the hard side
>>720983505Was a fairly widely held view at the time that Sonic Chaos was the first time they 'got it right' on the SMS.Was amusing that Sonic 2 SMS has a prototype version of Toot Toot Sonic Warrior on the sound track though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejt94RWhq5s
