I think they did the same with another game. "OK, what should we call our quest game for the Nintendo 64? ... Quest 64. Fine, at least people won't mistake it for a PlayStation fighting game."
And yet, I'd never knew about this channel if not for RUclips which recommended me one of those "lewd brazilian comic adaptation of a game" videos by St1ka🤭 So I dunno, really...
This is an excellent video! I've been learning more about the Master System and I've really enjoyed the little that I've played so far but I keep hearing about the same games over and over (Wonder Boy, Alex Kidd, Shinobi, etc) but this list has at least 10 games I had never heard of before and I'm really excited to check them out. Thank you for the suggestions!
Nice to see Sonic Chaos, Psychic World, and Asterix & Obelix get some love. Golden Axe Warrior is also great, I prefer it over the original Legend Of Zelda but that might be nostalgia bias since the Master System was way bigger in the UK back in the day.
It's uncanny how much the music in Golvellius sounds like The Guardian Legend. I don't think it's anywhere near as good an action-adventure as TGL (which is easily a top five NES game for me), but it sure sounds amazing. That's Compile for you.
Yesssss! I was so excited to see this pop up in my feed! Although I haven't played everything you mentioned here yet, I'm glad to know that I at least know about most of them! Awesome video and great choices. Also, if you ever need some game footage from something I've played in a higher quality, let me know! I'm happy to send them to you.
Thank you! I actually had my own Golvellius footage from when I reviewed the game years ago, but when I looked through it, I quickly realized it didn't look the best and needed something last minute. I hope you don't mind me using your footage ^^
Great overview, great choices, great crediting where you sourced footage from, great job! I learned about a few games I'd never heard of. Keep up the good work!
Aztec Adventure was one of my favourites for the SMS, along with Ghost House, Ghostbusters, Hang On and Astro Warrior (had the combo cart for the last two)
Liked Aztec Adventure more then original Zelda only compare em because the over head view and Ghostbuster was a master piece on the SMS compare to the NES lol Zillion 1&2 and Shinobi where pretty terrific too . Zillion as a Anime the kid uses the SMS laser gun ...
Would have been pretty neat if the driving sequences in the Jurassic Park game used the light phaser for shooting. Such an underutilized accessory, and so good! Really great videos St1ka. The quality of productions here makes me want to do better on my own channel. Informational and entertaining, and your intro is awesome.
I've played Sonic Chaos and Master of Darkness on the Game Gear. We had a Master System but living in NA we didn't see a lot of these games made after 89. Played the heck out of Rastan. My uncle got it for my brother and I trying to sneak in Conan the Barbarian in our lives.
All my friends had the Master System here in Brazil, and I was so jealous. My family was not doing so well then, so I got a Phantom System (local NES knockoff) instead, which bummed me out immensely. However, soon enough SEGA stopped making games for the Master System, and the NES had a flood of imported pirated games, so all of a sudden all my friends were coming to my place to play.
Yes - some St1ka and SMS content! I haven't finished the video yet but Wonderboy and Wonderboy in Monsterland both deserve spots as they're completely different yet brilliant games. Also, yes, evil merchants are indeed taking over (enslaving) the world with capitalism..
Got some Master System games to try out, never played most of them because I didn't know how the gameplay for them worked, so thanks for the gameplay previews.
the master system will always be the family video game for me. It was from a time where my whole family were together and gathered to play Olympic Games, all those Asterix and Disney platformers, you name it. Heck, my uncle was playing Alex Kidd with us and said "ok I had enough" and went to the mall to get a Master System to play with his family.
That was one of the coolest intros I’ve ever seen. And your knowledge? Incredible. Just how I like my briefings. Detailed and well presented. Great job! I subbed and I’m proud to be part of the family. Whenever you aren’t busy educating the masses with your gaming knowledge, stop by Scotty Blades HQ and say hi. Heroes are always welcome in our halls. Especially a Wizard of your level.
As a kid, my dad got a used Master System for his house. We only had a handful of games (one of them being Ghostbusters), but I remember going to Toys R Us and looking at all the Master System games. It's nice to finally see some of them in action-- over 30 years later! :)
@@st1ka AHAHA! I'm lamenting my misfortune. I was raised on NES, but there seem to be so many amazing Master System games. It's like looking at an alternate reality!
You're right, there ARE some games here I haven't played. Jurassic Park looks fun and the music actually sounds pretty nice for the system. And Renegade's graphics are so colourful, yay for yellow pants and vest! Love your Master System intro too!
Thankyou for this video. The master system doesn’t get no way near enough love. Can’t beat that old master system 8 bit music and the colours r nice and vibrant
I know you warned us that Lord of the Sword is hard but HOLY COW! How on earth did they expect kids to make progress?!? I tried it on my own but couldn't figure anything out and died a lot before I finally turned to an online walkthrough. Even with the guide, it's still really tough and I can't believe they didn't include any password or save. That's just cruel! But I'm really enjoying the game and thank you again for the recommendations.
Regarding Psycho Fox I actually see DEcap Attack / Magical Hat as a regression in terms of design. Psycho Fox's levels have true multiple paths thanks to lack of reverse scrolling and way more verticality. The Mega Drive game has its main gameplay so smoothed over that it's just not as enjoyable a playthrough IMO.
That's true, I did say it was an evolution mostly to simplify things. I didn't want to spend too much time into the Psycho Fox / Kid Cool / Magical Hat comparison as I was trying to keep the descriptions for each entry in the video short. Maybe evolution wasn't the best word.
Surprised to see Captain Silver here, what a fun game, I consider it the Ghost and Goblin of the console, hard as fuck but very fun and the atmosphere is top notch. Stuff like Aztec Adventure is legendary, I have never seen a game like this on the NES. Psycho Fox is underrated, it reminds me a lot of the original mario bros. Golvellius is my favorite master system game, what a blast this one was.
Whaaaa? Man I freaking LOVE Sonic 2 for the Master System & Game Gear! It's by far my favorite Sonic game for the systems. Dunno what you didn't like about it. Best soundtrack & most fun levels imo.
So far I've completed only 5 games on SMS/SGG and you named two of those already (well, you mentioned first two Sonic games too, so it's more like 4/5 which I've completed), so I guess I've done the right choices so far, hehe^^ Noted 8 other games for me to play from your list, so thanks!))
My top 15 favorite SMS games: Alex Kid Miracle World Sonic 1 Legend of Ilusion Golden Axe Warrior Phantasy Star Keiseden Monster World Master of Darkness R-Type Ninja Gaiden Gouvelius Renegade Black Belt The Luck Dime Caper Spellcaster
Very happy to see Golvellus here. That's my #1 SMS game. I'd really like to pick up Psychic World. The average prices for that one are a bit scary though. 😳
I was like: is this going to be the same video I have seen from so many other people with the usual suspects but then BAM you show Jurassic Park. I have played SMS back in the day when it was new, I emulated it like 20 years ago but still I did NOT know that Jurassic Park game for the SMS and I even know obscure games only from Brazil so I am super shocked I missed out on that one! Thanks man!
While I don't care for the video's title (since I play/heard most of the games you listed), I am glad you brought up Aztec Adventure. I used to play that game alot as a kid but I forgot about it for a long time and couldn't even remember the name of it. Jurassic Park, Miracle Warriors, Danan & Psychic World are the games I never heard of.
I’ve been getting into master system games, so thanks for this. I didn’t know about the Jurassic Park game in particular, looks a lot more fun than most other games based on the film. Looking forward to trying these. Can I have a list in the comments so I can save it and not have to rewatch the video to check it?
I grew up with an NES then a Mega Drive so I never really had much of a chance to get into the Master System as a kid and when i got older i bought myself a Master System bit barely played it as i just thought of the system as having inferior versions of Mega Drive games and not much worth playing... I now know how wrong i was and am actually really getting into my Master System lately... it only took me until late 2020 to get on the Master System bandwagon but better late than never huh?
Got say vary intresting video for me I never had master system growing up and got my hands on one around early PS3/360 gen And ya....I hardly ever hear anyone talk about titles for it I mean really besides the random games the was being "forced" sell with the system I only got it for phantasy star And ya...I've honestly only heard of two the titles in this video so this been nice as someone really doesn't have anything I like on master system outside phantasy star 1 On a side note I love to see a RPG video of this topic *Adds miracle warriors, spellcaster, aztec adventure to his ebay lists*
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I feel the major problem with a lot of list videos for any system is that they often give you the games they expect you to hear. I just want to list the games that I feel are good, lol.
A few ones I had overlooked, thank you. I remember a friend back in the day had Danan, I really didn't like the music restarting every time you went through a door. So... Will Alex Kidd in Shinobi World be one of the Alex Kidds or one of the Shinobis? ;)
14:40 You should have compared it to NES version of Renegade instead of Double Dragon. But I suppose that, just as I didn't know about the Master System version of Renegade (until now), you didn't know there was an NES version.
Not going to lie, most of my SMS favorites are already your fault! :D Golvellius & Psychic World are way up there! Have you ever played any of the MSX versions of either of them? They've been on my list since but I just haven't got to them yet.
@@st1ka It's pretty cost-prohibitive to dive into them especially considering the variation within models and hardware issues, but it's pretty worth dipping some toes in with "the emulation" to see what gems are in there. I've been having quite a bit of fun with the x68000 library lately too!
I always though the controller was a shame though. It had 2 less buttons than the NES. You could say it had three buttons but the start button was on the freaking console! Good system otherwise.
@@st1ka , a lot of the character names are exactly the same as well. That was the first hint. If I had to guess, there were a lot of overlap in the dev teams.
@John that made me look into it while couldn't find any link to 7th Saga I did find they still make games like Nurse Love Addiction that Limited Run Games did a vita print run of along with many VN games
mate ive been a console gamer my whole life u say some of these games would have passed as 16 bit i fully disagree they are way to scaled down the sprites way to small also
Hated lord of the sword..after playing it for a few years weeks. It got very boring. Miricle warriors was fun. The ekephant nuts were funny...or whatever they were. Never finished it. Too much grinding and the world was too big
The "only one game per main franchise" rule is completely pointless and leads to many great games being automatically scrapped for no reason at all... :(
I mostly use this rule so as a way to not fill a list with sequels from the same series. It's a way to avoid having several sonic games in my Genesis list, that sort of thing ^^
@y'all: nah. the sole criteria that should be taken into consideration when doing such rankings (either it being top 10, 30 or whatever) is the *intrinsic quality of the games* and this rule goes against that here with a top 30, we're supposed to expect the best master system games from the 30th one to the 1st one with that in mind, let's take the wonder boy series. IMO Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy in Monster Land and Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap should all be included in a top 30 master system games with dragon's trap being the one I'd rank the highest I think. but if I'd apply this rule, this would mean that I should scrap and instead include worse games than both Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy in Monster Land in my top which is absolutely pointless! the only exception would be with games that are so similar that NOW that would be rather pointless to include them all. right now I can't think of such situation within the master system library but on mega drive for instance you have series such as FIFA with some instalments being very similar to others but even then it still depends of the series, of the games, as I could totally understand why one would include for instance both NHLPA 93 and NHL 94 in his top 30 mega drive games
@@st1ka it's because a top 30 isn't nearly enough for the mega drive. you should have went top 100 instead ;3 and for the master system a top 50 could have been more apt. still, in any cases, I enjoyed very much your vid buddy and I can't wait for part 1 :)
@@st1ka I dunno if I'd ever like it even if I got used to it. You just don't have good control of your character & it just feels like bad design to me. Even when you do get used to it I doubt you will have good control unless you are an absolute master at it. The control of a character is at the very core of how good a game is. But who knows, maybe one day I'll "try" to get used to it.

In minute 26-27, thats the "where did you learn to fly" face, right? But white.
hah! I never thought of that.
@@st1ka haha everytime i saw that face, i could hear it in my brain
It's too bad you didn't use the FM soundtrack for Lord of the Sword. It's much better than the standard PSG sound.
sorry about that D:
A lot of these games wouldnt be as good without the FM sound
master system, i wish sou tuga era o familygame no visinho ou num Timex sinclair made in Portugal :D
Haha eu também cresci com uma family game
I always though the controller was a shame though. It had 2 less buttons than the NES. You could say it had three buttons but the start button was on the freaking console! Good system otherwise.
yeah, and the D-pad is also a bit mushy for some games :\
Is this Borat's gaming channel?. Cause this guy sounds exactly! like Borat 😂😂😂😁😁
Yeah I get that a lot
u have such a funny voice
Sadly I can't do much about it xD
@@st1ka its good mate i love ur sarcasm
@@rajreddy288 Haha thanks!
Miracle Warriors = 7th Saga for SNES
I never thought of that. But in terms of difficulty, encounter rate and the pseudo 3D graphics it's not a bad comparison
@@st1ka , a lot of the character names are exactly the same as well. That was the first hint. If I had to guess, there were a lot of overlap in the dev teams.
Oh interesting! I never realized that
Now we talking about USA 7th Saga or Japan 7th Saga due there totally changed difficulty in USA copy
@John that made me look into it while couldn't find any link to 7th Saga I did find they still make games like Nurse Love Addiction that Limited Run Games did a vita print run of along with many VN games
"those evil merchants taking over the world with capitalism" o PCP aprova este comentário
Haha
To be fair, capitalism CAN be pretty evil! Maybe the merchants are like...Bobby Kotick? xD
Oh pay me no mind, I was just making a joke ^^
@@st1ka I knowww, just doubling down on the goofiness!
@@wanyo haha. Thank you! :D
mate ive been a console gamer my whole life u say some of these games would have passed as 16 bit i fully disagree they are way to scaled down the sprites way to small also
Remember that 16-bit means more that super nintendo or mega drive though.
You also got systems like the atari ST and Amiga
holy shit does that music suck in the game DANAN
haha
Hated lord of the sword..after playing it for a few years weeks. It got very boring. Miricle warriors was fun. The ekephant nuts were funny...or whatever they were. Never finished it. Too much grinding and the world was too big
aww I kinda like the game, but I know it's a controversial opinion haha
The "only one game per main franchise" rule is completely pointless and leads to many great games being automatically scrapped for no reason at all... :(
I mostly use this rule so as a way to not fill a list with sequels from the same series. It's a way to avoid having several sonic games in my Genesis list, that sort of thing ^^
The value in these lists comes from making people aware of the games. Once you know about a series you can investigate the rest on your own.
Besides he can just recommend the sequels with the one he picked like he did with asterix
@y'all: nah. the sole criteria that should be taken into consideration when doing such rankings (either it being top 10, 30 or whatever) is the *intrinsic quality of the games* and this rule goes against that
here with a top 30, we're supposed to expect the best master system games from the 30th one to the 1st one
with that in mind, let's take the wonder boy series. IMO Wonder Boy, Wonder Boy in Monster Land and Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap should all be included in a top 30 master system games with dragon's trap being the one I'd rank the highest I think. but if I'd apply this rule, this would mean that I should scrap and instead include worse games than both Wonder Boy and Wonder Boy in Monster Land in my top which is absolutely pointless!
the only exception would be with games that are so similar that NOW that would be rather pointless to include them all. right now I can't think of such situation within the master system library but on mega drive for instance you have series such as FIFA with some instalments being very similar to others but even then it still depends of the series, of the games, as I could totally understand why one would include for instance both NHLPA 93 and NHL 94 in his top 30 mega drive games
@@st1ka it's because a top 30 isn't nearly enough for the mega drive. you should have went top 100 instead ;3 and for the master system a top 50 could have been more apt. still, in any cases, I enjoyed very much your vid buddy and I can't wait for part 1 :)
Psycho Fox??? Lol ew dude.... That game is garbetch! I will never understand why foreigners seem to love that game so much.
aww but I like it
@@st1ka Lol well to each their own I guess. I personally can't stand the way the movement works.
@@skins4thewin Oh, the way the momentum works does take some getting used to I agree :P
@@st1ka I dunno if I'd ever like it even if I got used to it. You just don't have good control of your character & it just feels like bad design to me. Even when you do get used to it I doubt you will have good control unless you are an absolute master at it. The control of a character is at the very core of how good a game is. But who knows, maybe one day I'll "try" to get used to it.
Danan sucks
Aww i like the game
Retro games are great ❤
Heck yeah
