    Golden Axe Warrior is the rarest SMS game in NTSC regions. It was released in mid-1991, less than a year before the console was discontinued, and by some accounts was only available for a few months and less than 100,000 cartridges were made (and probably much less than that number were sold in stores).

I owned lots more enduro racer, safari hunt, hang on, ghostbusters, great football, tennis, etc. I even had a few of the little cartridges. This brings back so many memories. I want to buy one for my kids sometime soon. I owned all Segas no Nintendo’s. I had Master system, Genesis, Saturn, every PlayStation 1-4. I still own every PlayStation but I really want a Master System an Genesis again. I have a local store with Master Systems an good selection of games. I forgot pro wrestling, I wore that game out.

    Ys was named after a legendary sunken city in the region of Bretagne in France, similar to the myths of Atlantis. Funny thing is, I started playing the series with Ys 7 and that's when I first heard of the legend. And I apparently grew up like 50 kilometers away from the supposed location of Ys, lol. It was near the city of Quimper but I had absolutely never heard of that story before the games. Even in France, it's a super obscure legend.

    I still remember seeing a dragon from Phantasy Star in one of the original Sega Master System commercials, and basically creaming my pants. I HAD to have that game. It took a lot of wheelin' and dealing with a kid up the block for me and my friend to get ahold of a copy, but it was all worth it. The shear excitement was overwhelming, we were completely mesmerized playing it. My #1 fave as well. I love hearing game nostalgia stories. Reminds me of my own adventures, when the internet wasn't a thing yet.

    It's so fun to watch other people's top SMS games. I wasn't very coloured by RPGs back then (not until like the early 2000s). My childhood games mostly consisted of Action and Adventure games (Asterix, Lucky Dime Caper, Castle of Illusion, Thunder Blade, Action Fighter and so on). Playing those RPGs you mention in this day and age... I must say it's difficult to connect with those. But watching your enthusiasm over those games really makes me want to get into them. I hope I will, especially Phantasy Star. Just a pity it's so expensive. Might go for the Switch variant until I'm hopefully lucky enough to find an SMS copy cheap.

    I grew up with the Master System. All my friends had either the NES or SNES, and we always "battled" on how Sega was better vs. Nintendo consoles. I remember arguing even on SMS vs. SNES with my neighbor. But when we forgot about the arguments, we always had a super blast when playing the SMS at my basement. My favorites were Transbot, Psycho Fox, Sonic, Asterix, the built in Alex Kidd, and Double Hawk. Oh boy, did we play Double Hawk... We would run out into the woods and play war against imaginary enemies with either plastic guns or wooden sticks after playing the game for hours on end. The SMS has so many great games, it's a pity it seems only the Genesis/Megadrive is seeing any recognition at this time.

    I remember getting Golvellius when I was around 7 maybe 8. I remember trading something in for it at a local mom and pop shop called Fantasy Computers back in 1992. I instantly loved it the first time I played it.

    I have played Wonder Boy 3 several times and own both a Wii, Switch and PS4 version. Love that game!
