Heck yeah! Great insight. I think there are enough SMS games for me to do a part 2. It's always fun to see the prices around the globe for games. Thanks for watching!
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames I only know that there are two books delivered with it beside manual etc cause I owned it as a kid. They are too big in their dimensions that’s why it’s shrink wrapped to the plastic box and why u don’t find it in the wild - it’s easy to get lost. I only saw it recently with one book… I wish my mum had allow me to keep my master system beside the genesis/mega drive… :-(
Nice one buddy. I knew the blue label Outrun was rare but hadn't actually heard of the blue label variant for Shinobi World. Nice to pick things up from new videos. Really well made. The rare version of Mah Jong I think came out in Hong Kong by the way. 👍
I _believe_ that Mah Jong was released both in Japan and Hong Kong. To be honest, I'm not familiar with it at all and perhaps I was going off some shotty information but that's what I found. Too rich for my blood anyway haha
Cool video dude, have to say owning a full uk pal set home alone should be on this list as took me 10 years to find one which I had to get from German and have only seen one for sale in the uk.
You are totally right! Home Alone is a mega game to get into the collection. I definitely left a few games out, perhaps I can do a Part 2 sometime. I'm always so jealous of your collection, you take very crisp photos of it too.
Awesome video man! I had Alex Kidd Shinobi World but not the blue label version. Also it blew my mind when I found out how expensive Sonic the Hedgehog was for SMS!
I still need the regular version of Alex Kidd in Shinobi World in my collection, it looks like a pretty fun game. I'm shocked at how crazy expensive Sonic the Hedgehog is.... you would think based off the popularity for it on the Genesis, the SMS would have more copies. Thanks for watching buddy!
They sure are! I went to Ireland in 2021 and bought about 15 Master System games there for about $100... back in the States they were worth around $350! I like PAL prices a lot better haha
You have become a serious Master System aficionado. 👌🏼 Great video man. That Asterix game looks amazing! Golden Axe Warrior seems like a great game too. I watched another channel doing a playthrough awhile back. Would love that one in the collection. That’s crazy money for a bad boxing game. 😂
Videos that I showcase the SMS tend to do well... I'm not sure if it's because there aren't a lot of other channels doing it but it's fun and it's nice when my videos get some views. Asterix looks like a ton of fun and I can confirm Golden Axe Warrior is dope. Yeah man.... I'm not paying $1300 for a GREAT game, let alone a BAD game. Thanks for watching buddy! Hope all is well with you.
It’s funny how much the packaging drives the price for these collectibles. I was throwing away blue MasterSystem carts like CRAZY because I thought they were counterfeit! 😅😝
Lol you trickster I *_ALMOST_* believed you.... but you're too young and handsome to have grown up playing the Sega Master System. That was reserved for us oldies.
Well thank you kindly my friend! The Master System sure is sweet and it's fun to show off the little knowledge I have on it. You better be playing Zillion soon!
I guess this is "The 10 MOST VALUABLE Sega Master System Games" in USA and not in PAL territories. Also James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing, George Foreman's KO Boxing, Heavyweight Champ and Rocky are almost the same game with some reskins/tweaks here and there.
Yeah, there's a lot of room for more valuable games in this list. I might do a part 2 as it was fun putting this one together. Thanks for watching! It's always fun to meet more SMS fans.
Thanks for the compliment! I pride myself on making high quality content (or at least entertaining haha) just checked your channel out too, looks to be of great quality. Just dropped you a sub. Thanks again for watching.
Dang, Sonic is $700 is the US?!?! I knew it was pricey, but didn’t realize it was THAT pricey. I actually did play it through Sonic Adventure DX (it was the Game Gear port) and it was an awesome game! Excellent video man!
Yeah I can’t afford Sonic haha. Perhaps I can get a PAL version sometime. That’s super cool they had it in the Sonic Adventure DX game! I never knew that.
Do other channels have issues with you using their footage? I've always thought was a bit taboo? Regardless, I love the Master System, it was the no.1 console over here in England for a few years, far more popular than the NES. Lot's of shops never even stocked NES games over here!
I personally don't have the technology or capabilities to capture the footage myself so I have to do it this way. I've never had anyone contact me before, but unlike many channels both large and small that don't give credit, I *ALWAYS* make sure I give credit during the video to the channels I'm using. I personally wouldn't have a problem with it if someone used my footage as long as I got credit for it. I think it's a good way for other channels to get potential exposure too. 10MinGameplay is one of my favorite channels simply because they post so much usable footage for others. There are some channels that I watch that have 300,000 subs and they use other's footage too and give credit, so I always respect them for that. There's also a copyright defense for channels who don't want their footage used, but I've never had a strike and if I did I would remove the content out of respect for other channels. Fun question! I love the Master System so much, and I'm so jealous of all the wonderful PAL games you received.
Great video and selection. I also love the soundtrack of wonder boy the dragons trap which is the background music. What about power strike 2 and hang on red label card? In europe you have to pay approx. 400€.
I really need to make a follow up video for SMS games that are pricey in Europe. I think it would be fun to compare. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I'd love to own Power Strike 2 someday.
I think its so cool 😎 that you decided to focus on the most underrated Video Game console of ALL TIME! Born in 77' Boston ,Ma. Nearly 9 out of 10 people had NES. i only knew 2 other families in my suburban town just north.of Beantown that had my 1st love Sega Master System in fact still have my original in working condition! That alone says everything about the durability of the system. No blowing into cartridges to get the game working "NES" and double dragon was a 2 player game how could it NOT ?! Once again im a huge John Hancock fan and noticed you featured him on 1 of your videos. I looked for years for a niche' group of SMS fans here in the U S. As we all know now in heinsight Nintendo wasnt playing fair here so it makes sense why They owned the U S. market..good luck with your channel 🎉
I know that feeling of being the only kid with a SMS! It was my only console until 4th grade and every I knew either had a PlayStation or N64 so I was a little behind haha. I still think I’m the only one in my town who had one, everyone else was in the Nintendo camp. It’s always great meeting others who love the SMS. It’s funny you mention the John Hancock video, I was really hoping that one would do better as it’s one of my worst performing videos but I’m happy you found it regardless. Thanks for the very kind comment and for watching the content! 🤙🏻
I'd love to see your collection in person sometime. I'm so jealous. Rocket Sauce also speaks very highly of the cooking that goes on in your home (I think he mentioned the breakfast haha) so I hear your place is the place to be.
I was an NES kid, so I haven't played these... looks like I missed my window of opportunity, as I'm not paying those prices O_o haha I did play some Asterix & Obelix, but that was on a computer. I don't really remember what game it was though. Whoa, Golden Axe Warrior definitely has some strong Zelda vibes! Mahjong?!? Whoa! I can't believe rarity is such a powerful price driving force! $1,300?!? Holy Crap! Some 80s kid is gonna call his mom now and chew him out for throwing away his old cartridges. P.S. I bought an N64 cartridge from a guy once who had a garage full of, shall we say, interesting and very diverse items. He also happened to be wearing his TSA garb still. So be sure not check any of these expensive games in a luggage case with you when you travel, or some sketchy TSA agent might swipe it and sell it out of his garage. Carry on only!
LOL Don't sweat it, I do recommend playing the SMS library at some point, but perhaps through emulation. Asterix and Obelix I've never played but that series is very popular in the UK. Golden Axe Warrior definitely has Zelda vibes but fortunately it's a very good game. I'll stick with my free Mah-Jong web browser game haha. I've seen the James Buster Douglas Boxing game a few times at conventions and the prices are insane. I'll never have it. Ohhh a garage sale from a TSA agent! I wonder what treasures he has pulled out from people's butts trying to smuggle things... better blow on the cart before you play it 😉
Kinda off topic but my favorite Sega game is Galaga for sure, that game is my childhood and nostalgia! This is a great and interesting list, and always really cool about your rankings 😎👍
Interesting...I got my Master System in 1986 (along with my Nes) and played it until I got my Genesis in 1989. I knew two others that had a Master System as well and I have never seen a blue tab before. However, I have seen all while tabs with a black grid before. I believe one was Star Wars and the other...Chess. It's also possible that I saw a Spy vs. Spy cart like that as well but of that I'm not 100% on. My Spy vs. Spy was on a Sega Card. Addendum- Golden Axe Warriors should have been ported to the Genesis. Subbed.
I always enjoy hearing people's journeys with video game consoles. You got the Master System early! I think you're right, I've seen a few white labels too.. I wonder if they are pricey? Out of about 100 kids in my school grade I was the only one who had a Master System so it was all I knew for a long time. Thanks for watching and subbing, it's always nice to meet more SMS fans!
Is it worth it to buy a Master System? Most of the games I've seen for it look okay but I haven't seen enough games that look good enough to make the console worth my money.
I personally enjoy the SMS. You can probably get the console for $75-$100 and most games are cheap like $5-$20. If you enjoy collecting and can afford it, definitely give it a shot. I have a video that I did with MyLifeInGaming on my channel that is close to 40K in views that discusses 10 must-own Master System Games, and almost all of them are very affordable if you're interested in learning about the best games for the console.
I'm lucky to have Golden Axe Warrior, but that's it for me on the list! Power Strike would be a really cool one too, I like how it was mail-order only. Thanks for watching, pal!
i never picked up asterix great rescue, i love shanghai for sms so mahjong JP looks sweet. have sonic for PAL, cant justify UPC sticker for the same game at 8,000x the price. and i dont have the blue label outrun. so i think i have 6 of these. if u wanna talk pricey games worldwide, basically every brazilian cardboard box game is expensive CIB. street fighter 2 i think was like $800. if ur talking PAL games, masters of combat went for like 800 a few months back. home alone i think is 4-500 CIB. im sure PAL has some other heavy hitters over 300 as well. time for a part 2
That's pretty wild how expensive SMS games can be! I definitely can put together a second video for another most valuable SMS games, thanks to your great insight!
It should be noted that a good chunk of these are only rare for their label or cases (Sonic US version) and are fairly cheap in other territories and considering the system only really has a few truly region locked titles, its far from as bad as other consoles rarities.(unless you want those variants and cases)
I agree that for the most part the SMS is very easy to collect for which is another great perk of it. I travelled to Europe two years ago and bought about 15 SMS games while I was there because they were so cheap compared to the versions in the U.S. Thanks for watching!
Expensive list for sure! Good thing I never owned the console, so I have no nostalgia for it because my wallet wouldn't survive 🤣! Crazy to see how Sonic looks good graphically considering it's on the Master System! Great video and keep up the good work!
I was very impressed with what they were able to do with Sonic on the SMS. It looks great and it's essentially a new game altogether with all the different levels. I only have one game from this list and it will probably stay that way haha. Thanks for watching!
@@solutionxero The U.S. versions of GAW are PAL releases with a UPC sticker stuck on the case. That little sticker is what makes them expensive for the U.S. versions. A little sticker.
huh? holy crap I have both Sonic 1 and Dick Tracey in my collection, Sonic from my childhood but I found Dick Tracey at a thrift store for around $20 NZD! (that's around $10 US) are you sure Dick Tracey is rare? :p I must of struck it lucky!
I think that Mahjong is a Hong Kong release not Japan. Japanese games don't have the grid covers they come in a gold coloured box. Also did you use pricecharting because it seems like you excluded PAL games which are in a different category. There are more expensive games than those here like Buggy Run which you should have covered instead of US variants.
You would be correct on the Mahjong game, I got confused on the regions and you nailed it, I was using price charting! There is a big difference in region differences and maybe I can make a follow up video for expensive PAL region SMS games. Thanks for watching!
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames That sounds like a good follow up. There are some AUS variants like the Double Packs that are very rare and go for an absurd amount.
@TigerChainsawVideoGames I didn't even really know what I had until your video. Master System was my first console in 86 and still works. I have all NA Sega systems and portables. In the early 90s I bought quite a lot of SMS and SEGA CD . I kept all my sms games and sadly traded away a lot of my saturn and sega cd back in the day. I do have some key sega cd games like panzer dragoon saga and burning rangers, Dragon force still
In the US it had a UPC sticker slapped on the back of the case. That's the only difference but it technically makes it another variant which collectors will pay a lot to own. 👍
I love mah jong but that's stupid crazy price and that game is a total Zelda ripoff lol. Crazy how the SMS has gained so much popularity and gone up in price. $700 for sonic?! Yea no thanks
I used to play Mah Jong on the computer a lot growing up. It was relaxing and passed the time. Golden Axe Warrior is a blatant Zelda rip off haha. I'd love to own Sonic but not for that price!
Yes, you are right! That's a pricey one as well. I left a few out in hopes of perhaps doing another video with 10 more valuable SMS games. If I do, Power Strike 2 will definitely be on that list. Thanks for watching!

I agree, I'm a big collector, but there are simply some games I can't afford. It's nice that emulation gives us an option to experience these games. Thanks for watching!
It sure is! It's just because of that dumb little UPC sticker on the back of the US cases that make it so valuable. I have a copy of the PAL version of Sonic and I'm very happy with it. Thanks for watching!
The master system was the first video game console I every played my family had one!
I did not think it was possible for you to get any cooler… but someone you just managed!! Dude that’s awesome!!!
Ultima IV complete with both! books, manual and map is far over 200$ and should be in this list too.
Heck yeah! Great insight. I think there are enough SMS games for me to do a part 2. It's always fun to see the prices around the globe for games. Thanks for watching!

Like it wasn't released for the public?
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames Yeah, but that was the U.S. version. There is supposed to be some promo/demo carts or something floating around out there.
Like 5 years ago I passed on Buster Douglas for about $300
My condolences my friend…. Lol still…. $300 is too much for that game unless it’s like the last game you need

Also did you use pricecharting because it seems like you excluded PAL games which are in a different category. There are more expensive games than those here like Buggy Run which you should have covered instead of US variants.
You would be correct on the Mahjong game, I got confused on the regions and you nailed it, I was using price charting! There is a big difference in region differences and maybe I can make a follow up video for expensive PAL region SMS games. Thanks for watching!
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames That sounds like a good follow up. There are some AUS variants like the Double Packs that are very rare and go for an absurd amount.
Oh man I bet that is a fortune@@goatbone
No blue labels for me but i have the red labels. I do own sonic and Golden Axe Warrior though
Whoa!! You have the North American sonic version??? That’s crazy!
@TigerChainsawVideoGames I didn't even really know what I had until your video. Master System was my first console in 86 and still works. I have all NA Sega systems and portables. In the early 90s I bought quite a lot of SMS and SEGA CD . I kept all my sms games and sadly traded away a lot of my saturn and sega cd back in the day. I do have some key sega cd games like panzer dragoon saga and burning rangers, Dragon force still
What an incredible collection. I'm happy you've kept it all@@StevieDrawStuff
Why is Sonic so expensive? I just got one in the UK for £12.
In the US it had a UPC sticker slapped on the back of the case. That's the only difference but it technically makes it another variant which collectors will pay a lot to own. 👍
@@8BitBoyUK yup, the big deal is about the UPC sitcker. And Sonic isn't the only one GAW, Strider, and Spiderman have them as well.
@@8BitBoyUK Thanks bud.
$30 in Aus?!
@@benjaminshiels1824 yeah, better off getting a PAL version and saving yourself a lot of money.
I love mah jong but that's stupid crazy price and that game is a total Zelda ripoff lol. Crazy how the SMS has gained so much popularity and gone up in price. $700 for sonic?! Yea no thanks
I used to play Mah Jong on the computer a lot growing up. It was relaxing and passed the time. Golden Axe Warrior is a blatant Zelda rip off haha. I'd love to own Sonic but not for that price!
Power Strike 2?
Yes, you are right! That's a pricey one as well. I left a few out in hopes of perhaps doing another video with 10 more valuable SMS games. If I do, Power Strike 2 will definitely be on that list. Thanks for watching!
Power strike II ????
Yes, you are right! That's a pricey one as well. I left a few out in hopes of perhaps doing another video with 10 more valuable SMS games. If I do, Power Strike 2 will definitely be on that list. Thanks for watching!
the prices that these games go for sure makes me gale emulation is a thing
I agree, I'm a big collector, but there are simply some games I can't afford. It's nice that emulation gives us an option to experience these games. Thanks for watching!
The only 2on the list I don't own are mah Jong and Buster Douglas boxing
Whoa! You’re sitting on a fortune then. Super cool to hear you have so many of the big ones already. Think you’ll try and get the other two?
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames nah I won't get the other 2 but the ones I have are pal and I got them as a kid and ain't that expensive here in Australia
im sure sonic is far cheaper here in the uk
It sure is! It's just because of that dumb little UPC sticker on the back of the US cases that make it so valuable. I have a copy of the PAL version of Sonic and I'm very happy with it. Thanks for watching!
