Nice of you to cover the SMS and SG-1000! Barely anyone mentioning those these days. Nice to see you loved Battle OutRun! I have the WR for it. My personal hidden gems: - SMS Jurassic Park - SMS Submarine Attack - SMS Legend of Illusion - SMS Deep Duck Trouble - SMS Alex Kidd BMX Trial - SMS Alex Kidd The Lost Stars - SMS Special Criminal Investigation
You can't leave out Phantasy Star. And the Master System's best shooters were phenomenal: R-Type, Aleste/Power Strike I & II, Fantasy Zone I & II, and Sagaia honestly are actually slightly superior to the already legendary NES/Famicom lineup of classic shooters, such as Gradius I & II, Lifeforce, Over Horizon, Gun-Nac, Uchuu Keibitai SDF, Recca, and Crisis Force.
@@MasterSystemMarceau Deep Duck Trouble and Land of Illusion are pretty well known properties though. Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck is a less well known game on the SMS, but it's graphics are nearly 16-bit in quality. The NewZealand Story port on the Master System is excellent as well. There's also Time Soldiers, Taz-Mania, and a very good port of Gauntlet.
@@ostiariusalpha I said LEGEND of Illusion, not Land. And Deep Duck Trouble is starting to get noticed but nobody played it back then because it released super late.
This was so cool. I loved seeing the SG-1000 stuff. It's very rare seeing videos about those games. The games you selected for the Master System and Genesis were great too.
Another thing I love about "Flicky" is the fact that the titular character happens to be the very same bird that would appear in the Sonic games afterwards.
Golgo 13 Also has helicpoters that drop bombs in later rounds. Golden Axe Warrior is unlockable on the Genesis collection on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Some great unsung games shown here. Nicely done.
Huge, huge fan. Love telling the fam “hey, it’s John N Riggs, he’s got a new video!” Love to see a new N Rigged video. Makes me forget whether I even had breakfast this morning.
Riggs put Bonk's Adventure and Blazing Lasers on his "underated hidden gems" of the turbo grafx... and Kieth Courage... which was the pack in and literally everyone owns it.
I couldn't get into Zelda as a kid because of Golvellius. I just thought that game was better the original Zelda game! The Sega Master does have one of my favourite game of all time, Wonder Boy 2 in Monster Land. I pick it up every now and then for a playthrough on my original Sega Master!
Oh man, that timer on Girl's Garden is savage. 🤣 Nice to see Golvellius on here. That's my top SMS game. I think they should go to that place in New Mexico where they buried all of that Atari stuff, dig a new hole, and dump Awesome Possum in there, although that would be kind of insulting to the Atari stuff they buried.
Thanks John, all awesome choices as far as I'm concerned. I love Sega, and you reccomended a couple few games for the SG-1000 and Master System I havent tried and look very appealing. Only game I would add is Galaga for SG-1000. Considering the system, its absoulutely excellent. Dragon Wang. Hehehe.
Zillion could be compared closest to Metroid on the NES. Its also interesting how close Dynamite Dux character resembles Sonic with the Blue Body, Red sneakers, and facial expressions.
I borrowed my best friend's copy of Skitchin' like 26 years ago, I still have it, he knows I have it, and somewhere along the line I acquired a second copy. So, I have two of them, one will make it's way back to my friend, great game, my fav song was 'Chug Rock'
Golden Axe Warrior is a pretty good Zelda clone. In scope it fots between Zelda 1 & Link to the Past. It didnt feel quite as tight in execution as the Zelda games to me but certainly not bad. Only 2 real complaints 1) starting out the range of your weapon is horrible & hard to line up. 2) there are no start or select buttons on the Master System controller; only 2 action buttons. This unfortunately means one button is you equipped item & the other brings up your item menu. This results in you having to switch items way more than in Zelda. Its mitigated a bit by sone items doing multi duty; like the axe being a weapon & able to cut down trees to find hidden areas. But in general its a bit frustrating especially after having played Zelda, but not a game breaker.
I had Congo Bongo on Atari 2600 one of my favorite Atari games now for Sega Master System that goes to Power Strike 2 for the Genesis that goes to Contra Hard Corps
Black Belt character stated RIKI only heard of Fist of the North Star. I wonder If Riki OH! was a consideration gruesome movie but funny as hell lots of action!
I play SG-1000 on one of my countless Batocera boxes, I've seen a few in the Detroit area in the past at Trade Markets or game store for ridiculous prices; My youngest daughter loves Girls Garden Obviously lol the Older 2 love Flicky
You skipped my favorite Sg1000 game! The Castle is something of a metroidvania, and a ton of fun. You have a super floaty jump and can speed up or slow down time, and you ransack a castle room by toom, looking for colored keys and taking on mimor platforming challenges. There is a NES sequel, but it doesn't play as well and the map osnt as well thought out.
I wonder if the setup for the Sims wear impaired by Haunting Starring Polterguy Just found out that the Sega Master System appears in a few episodes of Regular Show My all time favorite game system is the Sega Genesis
Sega had so much potential. If they could have just teamed up with Nintendo back then, we would have great looking games for the most part (Sega) with the best controls, music, sound effects, storyline, characters and a better feeling controller (Nintendo).
I really really really hate Art Alive, I rented it back in the day when I did not understand english and I had to "play" this crappy MS Paint wannabe for an entire 4-Day-Weekend!
The Best, the Underrated and the Hidden Gems of TurboGrafx-16 ruclips.net/video/yn17EuPSaVU/видео.html
Master of Darkness was released in the U.S. It was Vampire: Master of Darkness for the Game Gear! 🤟😎🤙
Wonder Boy in MonsterLand (Wonder Boy 2) is my favorite 8-bit video game ever made. Thank you SMS👍
Nice of you to cover the SMS and SG-1000! Barely anyone mentioning those these days.
Nice to see you loved Battle OutRun! I have the WR for it.
My personal hidden gems:
- SMS Jurassic Park
- SMS Submarine Attack
- SMS Legend of Illusion
- SMS Deep Duck Trouble
- SMS Alex Kidd BMX Trial
- SMS Alex Kidd The Lost Stars
- SMS Special Criminal Investigation
Even less of anyone mentions the retro Japanese computers that had hundreds more great games 😉

@@ostiariusalpha those are famous games, not hidden gems, that's why I didn't mention them

I would massively recommend Jurrasic Park on the master system. Loved that game.
Another thing I love about "Flicky" is the fact that the titular character happens to be the very same bird that would appear in the Sonic games afterwards.
More top Master System games to check out:
Kenseiden
Spellcaster
Lord Of The Sword
Psycho Fox
Alex Kidd In Shinobi World
Awesome Possom is hugely underrated. It’s easily top 5 animal mascot platformer that’s not Sonic on Genesis.
I always had a soft spot for Belle's Quest, I feel like they really made the best of the FM sound chip for the music
I'll probably never play any of these games but I always enjoy learning about them.
Oh man can’t wait to watch this later
Golgo 13 Also has helicpoters that drop bombs in later rounds.
Golden Axe Warrior is unlockable on the Genesis collection on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Some great unsung games shown here.
Nicely done.
Huge, huge fan. Love telling the fam “hey, it’s John N Riggs, he’s got a new video!” Love to see a new N Rigged video. Makes me forget whether I even had breakfast this morning.
Awesome title-list. Thank you, there is a lot to discover. Flicky is one of my favorite arcade game of all times. :)
Alot of these games would be good to be on the Evercade
If you like Elemental Master, you might also enjoy Undead Line.
I had Granada on my mega drive as a kid, loved it! Did you ever try zero tolerance? It has a link up system using pad 2 pprt
I find that the master system had better graphics than the nes, it's such an underrated console as well .
I wouldn't call Girl's Garden underrated. It's probably the most praised and beloved SG-1000 game in the modern landscape.
Riggs put Bonk's Adventure and Blazing Lasers on his "underated hidden gems" of the turbo grafx... and Kieth Courage... which was the pack in and literally everyone owns it.
Some pure gems in this video 👍😉
Teddy Boy on Master System has to be in this list.
Thank you so much for this selection 👍
I couldn't get into Zelda as a kid because of Golvellius. I just thought that game was better the original Zelda game! The Sega Master does have one of my favourite game of all time, Wonder Boy 2 in Monster Land. I pick it up every now and then for a playthrough on my original Sega Master!
Excellent video!! I still play my sg1000 and master system.
Just need Pyscho Fox in there... And maybe Alex Kidd in Shinobi World!
Zillion reminds me of Impossible Mission on the C64
There is a good version of impossible mission for the Sega Master System
Good videos lately mang!
"I want Zelda"
"We have Zelda at home" 😂
Going through all the consoles year by year can’t wait for Neo Geo then 3DO then Nintendo then Sony then Microsoft appreciate you John Riggs
Super Off Road for Master System, quite underrated :(
Oh man, that timer on Girl's Garden is savage. 🤣
Nice to see Golvellius on here. That's my top SMS game.
I think they should go to that place in New Mexico where they buried all of that Atari stuff, dig a new hole, and dump Awesome Possum in there, although that would be kind of insulting to the Atari stuff they buried.
Cool vid. Oh yeah, Master of Darkness was released in the US but only for the Game Gear.
Thanks John, all awesome choices as far as I'm concerned. I love Sega, and you reccomended a couple few games for the SG-1000 and Master System I havent tried and look very appealing.
Only game I would add is Galaga for SG-1000. Considering the system, its absoulutely excellent.
Dragon Wang. Hehehe.
Zillion could be compared closest to Metroid on the NES. Its also interesting how close Dynamite Dux character resembles Sonic with the Blue Body, Red sneakers, and facial expressions.

So, I have two of them, one will make it's way back to my friend, great game, my fav song was 'Chug Rock'
Dragon Wang became a meme on GameFAQs (or fads as we called them) message board in the early 2000s for the name alone.
SEGA used to have amazing games , would love to see them eventually make a new console at some point and battle the rest.
zillion is a standout but one game for the sms that i dont see people talk about is dragon crystal, one of my personal favourites from that era.
Been trying out SG-1000 games recently, pretty impressive for pre-NES console games
Sadly it wasn't Pre. It was released the same day as the Famicom in Japan it was just underpowered.
@@Owazrim that's true, forgot about that
It was in fact a repackaged Colecovision.
@@iwanttocomplain They shared a lot of the same hardware.
@Owazrim about the same spec at least

Zillion reminds me a lot of Impossible Mission (which I had on Atari 7800). Not sure which is the originator, though
There is a good version of impossible mission for the Sega Master System
The Gaming Historian did great video on Crusader of Centy.
When the weight became more than one man could bear,... Dragon Wang.
I wish the Master System had a better sound chip on it. They had way better graphics than NES, but the sound was just junk.
I used to have zero tolerance that was like a doom game for the Sega Genesis
I had Congo Bongo on Atari 2600 one of my favorite Atari games now for Sega Master System that goes to Power Strike 2 for the Genesis that goes to Contra Hard Corps
Black Belt character stated RIKI only heard of Fist of the North Star. I wonder If Riki OH! was a consideration gruesome movie but funny as hell lots of action!
Maybe it's just me, but solely from the footage here, Zillion really, really reminds me of Impossible Mission for the Commodore 64...
There is a good version of impossible mission for the Sega Master System
Yet to see a bad Riggs video. I did Riggs
I play SG-1000 on one of my countless Batocera boxes, I've seen a few in the Detroit area in the past at Trade Markets or game store for ridiculous prices; My youngest daughter loves Girls Garden Obviously lol the Older 2 love Flicky
Love haunting, need some Toki in this
I've never played Crusader of Centy, but it looks like a close comparison to Neutopia on the TG-16
Great video
Mystic defender is a sequel too a Master System game.
Dragon Wang is the prequel too Kung Fu Kid on the Master System.
I love the genius cant to see you in October at retogamecon in Syracuse NY
I le biohazard battle

Just found out that the Sega Master System appears in a few episodes of Regular Show
My all time favorite game system is the Sega Genesis
Sega Genesis HAS to be Sword of Vermilion...underrated RPG.
I highly recommend Monaco GP.
Not Super Monaco GP, just Monaco GP. Simple, but clever, lots of fun. Best game on the SG-10000
Girl garden might be a great game but DAMN it is just sooo expensive these day’s,phew🙁
What's the best Retro upscaler for my NES
👍👍
I laughed out loud at "Dragon Wang".
"Excellent animation, especially for Sega Genesis." You are adorable man.
Sega had so much potential. If they could have just teamed up with Nintendo back then, we would have great looking games for the most part (Sega) with the best controls, music, sound effects, storyline, characters and a better feeling controller (Nintendo).
I’ve heard that Dragon Wang is really hard!
Dynamite Duke plays like The Punisher on the NES.
Congo bongo on the television was fun
0:04 in the arcade it's 3d?
I think he means isometric
Colonel Sanders is in Dynamite Düx
I'll bet you Sega sold 0 copies of Girl's Garden.
Could you do some Game Gear reviews?
I guess you didn't get far enough in Action Fighter to become a plane. Lol
Golveeus?! GOL-VEL-EEUS.
Lol in retrospect how messed up that is of a plot where if you run out of time, your bf just runs off with another girl.
Give me Art the Clown.....not Art Alive...lol
UK is not the same thing as Europe.
The SG-1000 looked like a better Atari.
Awesome Possum is definitely not a hidden gem 😂
It's like "blah" on NES. Someone wants to believe the NES games of their youth were original (sometimes they were but often not).
great video , love the sms
Awesome Possum objectively sucks
Draggin' deez...oh nevermind
Just seemed like everything Sega did was try and knock off Nintendo.
I really really really hate Art Alive, I rented it back in the day when I did not understand english and I had to "play" this crappy MS Paint wannabe for an entire 4-Day-Weekend!
Awesome Possum is a piece of crap...stop recommending it lol.
every game is someone's favorite game of all time.
@@JohnRiggs Def not a "best, underrated, hidden gem" game.
👍 Thank you for the Video!
Sega genesis SUCKED until 95 or so
