they were so cool when they were released. unfortunately i only have master system carts. one of few places in my city where I could buy cards for master system was also tobacco shop. weird scene. entire back wall of shop from counter to roof was sega master system carts and sega cards. so many sega cards. never seen that many cards in one place ever since. they must be rare as fuck these days,

Lol I do wonder whether the Aspect people chose the company name because it sort of sounded like the much superior Ancient.

Anyway, the first 8-bit Sonic is plainly the best, though the second one is mostly ok. Chaos tried too hard to imitate the 16-bit Sonics resulting in ridiculously short levels that weren't even a proper tradeoff for the half-assed speed gimmicks. Still a nice enough game, though the GG-exclusive sequel is better even if you don't get to play as Knuckles.
>>
>>12713091
I thought of the same joke but would have gone with "system of darkness".
>>
>>12712894
>Prince of Persia like Aladdin
I really wish that was an accurate way of describing that game. In reality it's a nice game on a technical level but way too fucking simplistic and easy. The best you can say about it is that it's the most accurate adaptation among all the Aladdin licensed games.
>>
>>12713074
I remember playing Chaos when I was much younger, thanks to the Mega Collection Plus, and I remember liking it a lot. I haven't started Sonic 2 yet, but I've heard the Sega System version is better than Game Gear, so at least I'll be able to keep everything on the same platform.
>>
>>12713113
The problem with Sonic 2 GG is that, unlike Ancient's work on the first game, Aspect didn't tweak the sprites and level layouts to account for the cropped screen. Compounded with the faster gameplay, that means the player is given a much smaller margin of reaction to the enemies and obstacles (and sometimes not even any margin at all, with many pits becoming trial and error leaps of faith).

Honestly since both versions are otherwise identical, the GG release should have used the higher resolution "master system mode", like Castle of Illusion.

That's silly, and I say this as a SMS fan.

Anyway, try Kenseiden. It's older and a little crude in some aspects but a much more proper and interesting "we have Castlevania at home" replacement.
>>
>>12713074
>1,2 and chaos on Master System are sovlful.
At the TIME yeah. But playing Sonic 2 MS NOW? You can see how obviously rushed the game was because IIRC they were trying to release at the same time as the mega drive version. Also I'm pretty sure the wonky physics engine is completely different from Sonic 1 MS.

Sonic 1 MS on the other hand is perfect, perfect pacing, enemy placement, bosses, the physics, music, the replacement levels, all of it perfectly crafted.

Sonic Chaos, I don't know whether to put above or below Sonic 1 MS. The physics is still marginally wonky and the levels aren't quite as tight, but I loved the scope, plus you could spindash and play as tails.

Is the anime even good?

>>12713340
I've watched it back in 2015 or something. It's ok.
There's a team of 3 protagonists, a clearly-themed antagonist faction and even a rival later on. It was made as a way to sell the Light Phaser (MS pistol), that's why their pistols look like it. But after 20 or so episodes, they changed their designs so they look like any other sci-fi pistol.

I don't blame Sonic 2 for trying to push a little the speed factor to keep things on brand; the first game was a little too restrained in that regard (by design but still). Considering they "inherited" the project and probably had to reverse-engineer Ancient's engine, the game plays remarkably similar to the first one, but yeah, just not as good.

Chaos isn't bad, but for me it's just a little too awkward and sloppy to be credibly on the same tier as the first game; by that time the system was already doomed by developers trying to focus on showy graphics rather than making the most of the strengths of the system. Because of this the SMS is this weird almost unique case where the BEST games in its library came out in the early years of the system.

I used to be pissed off that the speed shoes in sonic 2 are fake. MIssing bonus levels is a bummer but Sonic 1 just feels way too short after playing Sonic 2, I feel Sonic 1 starts off strong but gets weak after jungle, Sonic 2 is really cool in stuff like Scrambled egg zone and riding the mine cart.

>>12712845
The first area of Master of Darknes looks a lot better than the starting area of even Castlevania 3, its later on where CV 3 dazzles you with special effects. Why have a Castlevania killer on sms and not Genesis.

It was a cheap BS game cashing in on the Transformers hype of the 80s. You play a robot that transforms into a space ship. You play one stage as a walking robot but then the next stage you are a flying space ship. The game just repeats like that every stage. I played it over at a friends house once, very basic and boring after a while.

Aladdin on the Mega, now the whole thread sing
Rubbed the lamp once, brought the desert king
Every plumber fan vanished when I spread my wings

Reckon that's enough, mate, don't make me laugh
