loved Ninja, Golvelius, Cloud Master, Lord of the Sword, Miracle Warriors, Mystic Warrior, Zillion, Wonder Boy and others. So many great Master System games.
You nailed so many great games in your list! Zillion, miracle Warriors.... those were some of my faves too! Golvelius seemed to have exceptional graphics to me. It stood out. But it was hard for me to master.
Well done and I appreciate the great picture quality and the FM sound tracks! Even though I am here in the States, I too had a Master System instead of a NES and I LOVED IT! The hardware was amazing and I even had Sega Scope 3D and back in the day games like Maze Hunter 3D and Missile Defence 3D blew my mind! I am glad people are now starting to appreciate the Master System more as a retro console. You gave me more games to add to my list. I also really appreciated how many games that were made for both the Mega Drive/Genesis and Master Systems were actually different games rather than ports. Again, well done!
I loved Spellcaster, it is a very unique experience. However, I will say that the password system was just so much crap. I remember it as being thirty characters long, some of them not being true letters or numbers. I recommend if you're going to be playing the cartridge, to forget writing down those passwords and use your phone to take a clear snapshot of the passwords.
personally, Spellcaster has a shot as being the best game on the SNES. it combines RPG and action perfectly, the story is very interesting, the graphics and music awesome
I grew up with Sega Master System as well. My best friend had a NES, so I decided to go with the almighty SMS. Wanted something different we could play while at my house, not to mention Sega appealed to me more. Instantly became a Sega fanboy. Rastan, Shinobi, Reggie Jackson Baseball, Rocky, Pro Wrestling, Evander Holyfield Boxing, Space Harrier 3D, Phantasy Star, and many more bring back great memories.
The world needed more zelda clones anyway. Once a zelda fan was done with LoZ where were they to turn for more? I wanted more LoZ for years and GAw was the only game that delivered.
Man, my cousins and I had a Master System, and we played Phantasy Star for many, many years without beating it. We had save slots far into the game, but we were so young we didnt fully grasp what had to be done to beat it. Eventually the Master System was relocated to a family vacation house on a lake in the middle of nowhere. Every year, we would return and play our save files. We started playing this game when I was 6 years old, and I would guess it took 7 or 8 years to see the end. Most nostalgic game for me by far.
RoastMcGhost I was also too young to finish it. I remember my space ship being in one planet while I was lost in another. Had no idea how to deal with that situation. That was the end of the game for me I think.
I have a 1990 Master System which comes with Alex Kidd in Miracle World (which has also had its date changed from 1986 to 1990); the earlier models had Snail Maze.
Does anyone else hear an emphasis on final words in sentences that sound like there is more to be said but then isn't. It sounds like confusion or a spontaneously read book report. Not to knock it by any means! To be clear, I love the content and I think the material is pretty well-written.
I know what you're talking about, I think it's just his Wolverhampton accent. He also sometimes finishes sentences as if he's asking a question, with an upward inflection.
Great video and a lot of really cool games on here! Though I would also add Astro Warrior and Pit Fall to this list as I would play those games non stop all of the time!
I bought a Master System in 1987. Being an American with SMS while the rest of the country had the NES (I had both as I was 17 at the time and had a job) was frustrating as there weren't too many friends I could share the experience with. Black Belt, Quartet, Choplifter, Phantasy Star, and Shinobi were my absolute favorites. Nice vid man.
I love 13 of your 18 games. Thanks for not forgetting Psycho Fox. One of the best games ever. I would have ranked Out Run higher though. I remember going to a shop and seeing it and dreaming to have it for months. I was uncontrollable when I finally had it!!!
Good list. Some titles I'd include: - Robocop vs The Terminator (the SMS version is surprisingly good) - Ninja Gaiden - Mortal Kombat - Secret Command - Time Soldiers - Scrambled Spirits - Double Hawk - Super Space Invaders - Quartet - Columns
stringanime SEGA Master System is the eutopia of nostalgia idc what anyone says about Nintendo. im here in the States from Boston and I loved my Sega Master System and still Own it
Same could be said about the high quality arcade games that came out back in the 80's. If one never experienced Donkey Kong in the Arcades, and instead only played the NES port, one might prefer the off version of the NES. When I think of 8 Bit, regardless to the NES being part of the 80's, I think of Happy sounding Chip tune and bright pixelated colorful graphics, but that is because 1. I prefer that quality and 2. I played a lot of consoles and arcades back then.
It's a nostalgic thing brother, and the controller aint so bad. Although i must admit i had some issues with it some time ago (stupid D pad) And afcourse that pausebutton not being on the controller sucks ass. But Sms is still a nice system. I actually like it a bit better then the Nes, but i still think that is personal. I am not gonna argue wich one is better, cause why should i, i have both and i don't own shares in Nintendo or Sega.
Aliens Infestation review you say? Oh, you mean the first video I watched from you, and the reason I discovered your criminally underrated channel. Great vid(the Aliens one, Im still watching this one lol)
Not all SMS2's had Alex Kidd built in, there was a variant with Sonic 1 built in instead. Glad to see R-Type in there, the SMS port of this was probably the best on any system. You must be the only SMS owner to have never played Sonic, it was so popular for good reason! And I had forgotten how much fun Asterix was, thanks for that.
Golden Axe Warrior is my favorite Master System game. Then the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World, the first Sonic, Castle of Illusion, Phantasy Star, Ninja Gaiden, Double Dragon, Donald Duck in the Lucky Dime Caper, Zillion and many more. It was truly a Master piece of gaming fun and made me a gamer forever.
Sadly ennemy placements are somewhat very tricky (to not say poorly thought) + the insane respawn + the bad jump plateforms... those can ruin the game.
Nice/useful video! I'm about to get a SMS and certainly like most of the ones you showed. I loved Aladdin on the Genesis so I'm curious about that sms version... looks like an entirely different experience.
Then I'd say we grew up no where near each other, we had 1 bus, 1 arcade machine and an oddly large amount of imitation hand held dot matrix games in our local news agents.
@@FullInstall Yeah, I can tell from your accent lol. I was born in the Midlands but grew up in Kent. It's just cos you said they weren't common in Britain.
I was waiting for Phantasy Star to get it's Glory in your list and it did! It was my favorite game back in the day and I also replayed it several years ago on an old computer. I also remember playing Book of Y's. Haven't played it since I was little, but I remember having fun with it.
Loved this. The Master System 2 was my first console, when I was around 8 years old. I'm dead chuffed you included Alien 3. Easily my favourite title on the Master System.
Golvellius was the first game I looked up a cheat for in a gaming magazine. Oh MAN! loved Shinobi & Rampage! Hell, this video is taking me back! Damn. Really wish I had the foresight to save my console and games when I was young.
Psycho Fox did get a 16-bit / Mega Drive update of sorts though - two of them: Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure and its reskin for the west DEcap Attack. Psycho Fox itself was a remake of NES game Kid Kool and all were made by the same team at Vic Tokai.
dang... the bg scrolling effect (11:19 - 11:21) in aladin is really close to the tricks they used in toy story and clockwork knights. merp, and wow... spy vs spy made your list? so simple, but i loved that game so much as a kid... mad magazine was edgy af when i was young, so i'd probably have bought any game with their branding. ...phantasy star... YESSSSS!!! and apparently i need to play alex kidd in shinobi world. =P off the topic... you mentioned liking games that make the character seems shrunken? world of padman is a cool pc game based on quake 3's engine that's really fun, free to play, and the level design is extremely good... =D great video btw, really liked it. =P
Although there was never a psycho fox on the Megadrive, there were two games which were virtually identical save for the graphics. The first was Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure (only released in Japan) and the second (and best of the lot) was Decapattack.
One of the very few occasions that i can say i was happy to live in Brazil. This is the country where Master System truly dominated, to the point where units are STILL made to this day, as well and hundreds of exclusive titles. Also, it made getting all 3 models very easy for me. :D
I have 2 master system consoles. One has Snails built in the other has Missle Defense 3D. Loved the 3d glasses, mine still work, very hard to find a working pair.
I don't think I ever played the master system version you know, I played through the sequel on the PC engine emulator back when the emulator scene first came around in the dial up days, cracking game.
I just got a Sega Genesis 3 console which will play Master System games. Looking forward to seeing what I can find in the way of Master System games for it. I don't understand marketing R rated games to kids via toys and games either. It's weird. This Snail Maze game looks pretty neat actually. They should put it in one of Sega's collections of classic games for the Nintendo consoles. I love Alien Storm and Golden Axe games! They are my favorite Sega games of all. Even more so than the Sonic games. Maybe because I'm actually halfway good at beat em ups, but terrible at platformers. I love Asterix and Obelix too. I probably see even less about them here in the States than you did as a kid, but I got lucky and had several of their books in my local library, so I grew up loving them too. I'd love to find this Asterix game. The Wonder Boy and Alex Kid games sound weird, but you've convinced me to give them a try. There's a bit of slow down in the Gauntlet games on the Sega Genesis, maybe so on the Master System too. So, maybe the original box for it said that slowing down was a good thing. Gauntlet 4 brought my Sega Genesis emulator to its knees, convincing me to go out and get an actual Sega console and get the Genesis 3. The Gauntlet games are a close runner up to my favorite Sega game and it's been my mission to find the best home version of Gauntlet. I love the writing in this video! It's informative and funny at the same time. I like your opening of this video. Takes me back to the 'good ole days' of dial up modems and fighting with DOS to play games. It was the first challenge of the game - getting it to work on your computer, especially if you wanted to hear the sound.
Nice list! There are a few I've never played. Here are a few of mine not on the list (from best to worst): Fantasy Zone, Miracle Warriors, Y's, Ghost Busters, Penguin Land, and Aztec Adventure
Got the SEGA Master system when it first came out as a kid.. the first games I got were RAMBO “ coco puffs being shot out of his rifle” Astro Warrior “came with it” and Space Harrier.. still hear “GET READY” in my head now at 43.. LOVED Ghostbusters 👻.. Thunderblade, After Burner, Shinobi “arcade game I LOVED.. in my little 📺 GOLVARIUS “game was amazing for a Zelda type game”! My absolute fav SEGA console I had was my DREAMCAST... loved Genesis.. but it didn’t wow me like my Dreamcast
The master system has two faces. The pre 90s sega, with its games also being released in the States and the post Europe & Brazil modern era. There are gems to be had from both periods and many of my American pals here, are missing so many essentials never released here in the US..
I always thought it bizarre that the Master System had such a big fan base in Brazil apposed to the US, are there any titles that stand out for you as not being released over your way? I can't say I have a huge knowledge base of what was released where.
SEGA should do a Master System collection, just like they do with Genesis. I know MS is much less popular, but it would be a great introduction for new players.
When I was a kid here in the US I always loved the SMS more than the NES.... Problem..... No one else I knew owned so game trading and 2 player games were out of the question.
BIGRAYSWRESTLINGSHOW I second your emotion lol I'm here in Boston and still love my Sega Master System!! problem is everyone around me knows nothing about great 8 bit gaming🎮🎮💯💯
Robbie RuPac Radio So very underrated. I actually choose the SMS over the NES. I didn't have an NES til 89... Anyways love your work brother. Look me up at 1wrestlingvideo if you wish. Peace friend
A galera brasileira vai lembrar de 2 jogos modificados para adaptação BR: TV Colosso (Asterix e Obelix) e Turma da Mônica: O Resgate (Wonder Boy III). TV Colosso ainda sofreu algumas mudanças quanto ao cenário do jogo, já Turma da Mônica incluído os personagens, porém fases e inimigos o mesmo do jogo que deu origem. Maravilhosos tempos!
I also gotta say, the Master System Golden Axe game was pretty solid. sure it only had one character, but it still had all the levels. Also look up Zillion. It's part metroid game, part puzzler. kind of an odd duck and an acquired taste. But I enjoyed it back in the day.
I thought you were going to put Alex Kidd in miracle world in the first place, but you didn't, lol. I remember buying a master system, I was 7 years old, and Alex Kidd was the first game I played! I have to say I really freaked out playing that game. I also enjoyed playing Spider-Man vs the Kingpin and Master of Darkness ... These are the games that are missing in your list, from my humble point of view. Thanks for the video, it's a great one indeed.
Nice list! However I think this games are great to be in any MS list: - Alex Kidd in the Miracle World - Kenseiden - Black Belt - Sonic The Hedgehog - R.C. Gran Prix - Land of Illusion - California Games I'll try this Aladdin game, I only know the Mega Drive version and this other version looks cool.
I love this video for the simple reason that man said The Arcade Machine (when talking about Double Dragon) was in the local Fish & Chip shop! HA! BACK IN THE DAAAAAAAAY! All good Arcades were either in a Fish & Chip shop, Burger shop, Chinese Take-Away or Sweet shop! Loved them times!!!
Ahhh takes me back, I grew up in the mid 80s, after spectrum this was my fave platform to play on in my early years of gaming.
Great video.
Master System's Choplifter is my favorite version.
loved Ninja, Golvelius, Cloud Master, Lord of the Sword, Miracle Warriors, Mystic Warrior, Zillion, Wonder Boy and others. So many great Master System games.
You nailed so many great games in your list! Zillion, miracle Warriors.... those were some of my faves too! Golvelius seemed to have exceptional graphics to me. It stood out. But it was hard for me to master.
Lord of the sword was my all time favorite.
Seeing Asterix on here really made my day.
Well done and I appreciate the great picture quality and the FM sound tracks! Even though I am here in the States, I too had a Master System instead of a NES and I LOVED IT! The hardware was amazing and I even had Sega Scope 3D and back in the day games like Maze Hunter 3D and Missile Defence 3D blew my mind!

I also really appreciated how many games that were made for both the Mega Drive/Genesis and Master Systems were actually different games rather than ports. Again, well done!
Spellcaster, almost unknown but an excellent action/rpg game with awesome graphics for a 8 bits console.
Just looked it up, actually looks fantastic, cheap on eBay, ordered a copy - well done sir.
you gonna have some fun mate ! :)
I loved Spellcaster, it is a very unique experience. However, I will say that the password system was just so much crap. I remember it as being thirty characters long, some of them not being true letters or numbers. I recommend if you're going to be playing the cartridge, to forget writing down those passwords and use your phone to take a clear snapshot of the passwords.
Played the shit out of Spellcaster. Awesome game.
personally, Spellcaster has a shot as being the best game on the SNES. it combines RPG and action perfectly, the story is very interesting, the graphics and music awesome
I'm highly impressed that you chose Shinobi World as #1! Although at least one of the Power Strike games needs to be here.
Wonder Boy in Monster Land was the one. Great video BTW! almost pinpoint accurate
Rodney Howells Absolutely☝️☝️
Monster Land is correct.
Agreed
Wonderboy 3 better though
Yes! Spent hours and hours playing this game as a kid 😁👍
Already know this video is going to be class because of the Phantasy Star 4 music. My man!
You totally need to check out the Master System port of Road Rash, its so impressive you could easily mistake it for the Mega Drive one.
I swear you keep popping up, this is like the 5th video I've seen a random comment from you xD. You're EVERYWHERE.
in Brazil there is a Master System kind of NES Mini with 120 games included
Hernán Matias please send me one here to mexico
this was the time when gaming was chilling, a game took weeks an you had fun with your friends on one console
I grew up with Sega Master System as well. My best friend had a NES, so I decided to go with the almighty SMS. Wanted something different we could play while at my house, not to mention Sega appealed to me more. Instantly became a Sega fanboy. Rastan, Shinobi, Reggie Jackson Baseball, Rocky, Pro Wrestling, Evander Holyfield Boxing, Space Harrier 3D, Phantasy Star, and many more bring back great memories.
Golden axe Warrior is a great game so what if it is a zelda clone still a real gem on the master system
True. *Golden Axe Warrior* should be high every Master System list.
It's an awesome RPG.
Super expensive now
The world needed more zelda clones anyway. Once a zelda fan was done with LoZ where were they to turn for more? I wanted more LoZ for years and GAw was the only game that delivered.
Sega master system don't need zelda sega have yz,miracle warriors, phantasy star .whit that 3 games i real forget zelda.
Man, my cousins and I had a Master System, and we played Phantasy Star for many, many years without beating it. We had save slots far into the game, but we were so young we didnt fully grasp what had to be done to beat it.

RoastMcGhost
I was also too young to finish it. I remember my space ship being in one planet while I was lost in another. Had no idea how to deal with that situation. That was the end of the game for me I think.
who remembers time soldiers? for saga master system
I didn't think I did until I looked it up, I think I may have rented it though I might be getting mixed up with Mercs
Still got my copy
arcade version was so much better
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World! I seriously thought I was the only person who knew about that game. Definitely my favorite
Zillion was my favorite. Good list.
I loved Shinobi back in the day (and it looks way better on the SMS than the NES). Never finished it though...
That was my number one. Finished it multiple times as did my brother.
I got it to the last level.
I have a 1990 Master System which comes with Alex Kidd in Miracle World (which has also had its date changed from 1986 to 1990); the earlier models had Snail Maze.
Stephan Dolby mine too! Thats the first game that comes to my mind when talking about the Master System
So did mine.
and Hang on, a nice motorcycle game.
the Sonic series, World Cup Italia 90, Submarine attack, Forgotten worlds, golden axe warrior, rescue mission...
I kick myself for leaving off Forgotten Worlds.
Does anyone else hear an emphasis on final words in sentences that sound like there is more to be said but then isn't. It sounds like confusion or a spontaneously read book report. Not to knock it by any means! To be clear, I love the content and I think the material is pretty well-written.
I know what you're talking about, I think it's just his Wolverhampton accent. He also sometimes finishes sentences as if he's asking a question, with an upward inflection.
It’s called the antipodean inflection. Or high rising terminal
great video the startup music for alex kidd in shinobi world gave me chills.i loved it to. thanks for the memories
Great video and a lot of really cool games on here! Though I would also add Astro Warrior and Pit Fall to this list as I would play those games non stop all of the time!
Very helpful for looking up this elusive console with beautiful graphics for its time!!!
Great video! totally relate with the Asterix and Obelix comics, good memories : )
I bought a Master System in 1987. Being an American with SMS while the rest of the country had the NES (I had both as I was 17 at the time and had a job) was frustrating as there weren't too many friends I could share the experience with. Black Belt, Quartet, Choplifter, Phantasy Star, and Shinobi were my absolute favorites. Nice vid man.
I love 13 of your 18 games. Thanks for not forgetting Psycho Fox. One of the best games ever. I would have ranked Out Run higher though. I remember going to a shop and seeing it and dreaming to have it for months. I was uncontrollable when I finally had it!!!
Alex Kid in SHinobi world is also my fav game on the console. 2nd stage music is so beautyfull
Good list. Some titles I'd include:
- Robocop vs The Terminator (the SMS version is surprisingly good)
- Ninja Gaiden
- Mortal Kombat
- Secret Command
- Time Soldiers
- Scrambled Spirits
- Double Hawk
- Super Space Invaders
- Quartet
- Columns
SEGA 8 Bit, the superior Nostalgic experience.
stringanime SEGA Master System is the eutopia of nostalgia idc what anyone says about Nintendo. im here in the States from Boston and I loved my Sega Master System and still Own it
Not if you've never played in as a kid. Hell I never even played it ever.I played the genesis once to play sonic the first one, that's it though.

You must be the only SMS owner to have never played Sonic, it was so popular for good reason! And I had forgotten how much fun Asterix was, thanks for that.
Don't get me wrong, I had Sonic eventually, but probably not until I had played it on the Mega Drive, then went back to see what it was like.
Master of Darkness is one of the most underrated games.
Dude I discovered this video years ago and really liked it and forgot to subscribe and I finally found it almost 5 years later
I'm glad you have been reunited :)
Golden Axe Warrior is my favorite Master System game. Then the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World, the first Sonic, Castle of Illusion, Phantasy Star, Ninja Gaiden, Double Dragon, Donald Duck in the Lucky Dime Caper, Zillion and many more. It was truly a Master piece of gaming fun and made me a gamer forever.
You can't beat Shinobi and R-Type, proper games and the memories I have. Best days of my life.
The best game I played on the Master System was Ys: The Vanished Omens. It was also the first RPG I ever played.
Kenseiden is a woefully underrated ninja game
yep that one was very underated top5 game of sega easy
Yes, brilliant game.
Technically a samurai game, but yes, very fun.
Sadly ennemy placements are somewhat very tricky (to not say poorly thought) + the insane respawn + the bad jump plateforms... those can ruin the game.
Good video, I'm just getting into the SMS so this was helpful.
Nice/useful video! I'm about to get a SMS and certainly like most of the ones you showed. I loved Aladdin on the Genesis so I'm curious about that sms version... looks like an entirely different experience.
Brit here.
There were tons of arcades in my area growing up, as well as machines in shops.
Then I'd say we grew up no where near each other, we had 1 bus, 1 arcade machine and an oddly large amount of imitation hand held dot matrix games in our local news agents.
@@FullInstall Yeah, I can tell from your accent lol. I was born in the Midlands but grew up in Kent.
It's just cos you said they weren't common in Britain.
Same, there were loads of arcades in the North West as well. Great times.
Used to have it when was a child, from 1988 to 1994. It still is somewhere at ciuntry cottage. Now use it's joysticks with a Commodore Amiga 3000. )
I grow up in the UK and with Nintendo. It was 50/50.
Thank you for the nostalgia trip 👍🏼
No problem!
The is a 16-Bit sequel(gameplaywise) to Psycho Fox on the Genesis/Megadrive, actually. The game is called "Decap Attack".
I was waiting for Phantasy Star to get it's Glory in your list and it did! It was my favorite game back in the day and I also replayed it several years ago on an old computer. I also remember playing Book of Y's. Haven't played it since I was little, but I remember having fun with it.
Ys:The Vanished Omens is fantastic!
Ys. first game I ever completed! happy days :D
Arcade machines weren’t everywhere in the UK? Are you kidding? They were everywhere and Double Dragon was yuge for a time! My town had several arcades
Loved this. The Master System 2 was my first console, when I was around 8 years old. I'm dead chuffed you included Alien 3. Easily my favourite title on the Master System.
Also, you included Psycho Fox. I loved that game growing up. Thank you. The nostalgia trip is real!
Space harrier. Black belt. Afterburner. So many great games. Still have them all
The Sega Master System was the first video game console I ever owned. Penguin Land was my JAM!
I must be the only Sega kid who had and loved Black Belt.
I can't recall how many times I played that game.
I rarely ever see any love for Black Belt.
I still have mine in the original box from 1986. This console was the best.
Golvellius was the first game I looked up a cheat for in a gaming magazine.
Oh MAN! loved Shinobi & Rampage! Hell, this video is taking me back!
Damn. Really wish I had the foresight to save my console and games when I was young.
Psycho Fox did get a 16-bit / Mega Drive update of sorts though - two of them: Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure and its reskin for the west DEcap Attack. Psycho Fox itself was a remake of NES game Kid Kool and all were made by the same team at Vic Tokai.
Psycho Fox is graphic, game design and gameplay wise a gem and a true Master System Classic Must Have.
Great video, my console was also a sega master system and im working on my Master System Memories. I think Double Dragon was my favourite game.
Wonderboy 3 was brilliant on the Master System. I was completely obsessed.
dang... the bg scrolling effect (11:19 - 11:21) in aladin is really close to the tricks they used in toy story and clockwork knights. merp, and wow... spy vs spy made your list? so simple, but i loved that game so much as a kid... mad magazine was edgy af when i was young, so i'd probably have bought any game with their branding. ...phantasy star... YESSSSS!!! and apparently i need to play alex kidd in shinobi world. =P
off the topic... you mentioned liking games that make the character seems shrunken? world of padman is a cool pc game based on quake 3's engine that's really fun, free to play, and the level design is extremely good... =D
great video btw, really liked it. =P
Love Alex Kidd in shinobi world too and was my fave on the system as a kid nice one 👍
No Rastan? Loved that game
damn forgot about rastan good mention
Godzilla 73 loved rastan
the released an updated arcade version about a year ago on xbox live. uldric the barbarian or something
You know I only ever played the second one on a PC Engine emulator, I have fond memories of it though.
Graeme Robson are you talking about that volgar viking game? It was released on Dreamcast too. Pretty cool
I have the Game Gear version of that.
Thankyou! Asterix get nowhere enough love on RUclips :)
Maze Hunter 3D. Loved that games as a kid.
golvelious as a child was my favorite game , so much fun and time spent on golvelious.
Great video love those 8-Bit tunes .... also Captain Silver was great lol
Although there was never a psycho fox on the Megadrive, there were two games which were virtually identical save for the graphics. The first was Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure (only released in Japan) and the second (and best of the lot) was Decapattack.

I don't think I ever played the master system version you know, I played through the sequel on the PC engine emulator back when the emulator scene first came around in the dial up days, cracking game.
always loved dragon crystal as a kid even though i was hard as balls for me back then but as an adult i defeated it finally :)
I just got a Sega Genesis 3 console which will play Master System games. Looking forward to seeing what I can find in the way of Master System games for it.
I don't understand marketing R rated games to kids via toys and games either. It's weird.
This Snail Maze game looks pretty neat actually. They should put it in one of Sega's collections of classic games for the Nintendo consoles.
I love Alien Storm and Golden Axe games! They are my favorite Sega games of all. Even more so than the Sonic games. Maybe because I'm actually halfway good at beat em ups, but terrible at platformers.
I love Asterix and Obelix too. I probably see even less about them here in the States than you did as a kid, but I got lucky and had several of their books in my local library, so I grew up loving them too. I'd love to find this Asterix game.
The Wonder Boy and Alex Kid games sound weird, but you've convinced me to give them a try.
There's a bit of slow down in the Gauntlet games on the Sega Genesis, maybe so on the Master System too. So, maybe the original box for it said that slowing down was a good thing. Gauntlet 4 brought my Sega Genesis emulator to its knees, convincing me to go out and get an actual Sega console and get the Genesis 3. The Gauntlet games are a close runner up to my favorite Sega game and it's been my mission to find the best home version of Gauntlet.
I love the writing in this video! It's informative and funny at the same time. I like your opening of this video. Takes me back to the 'good ole days' of dial up modems and fighting with DOS to play games. It was the first challenge of the game - getting it to work on your computer, especially if you wanted to hear the sound.
I like the fact u review game and give current market value for game n console
Nice list! There are a few I've never played. Here are a few of mine not on the list (from best to worst): Fantasy Zone, Miracle Warriors, Y's, Ghost Busters, Penguin Land, and Aztec Adventure
awesome list dude. some of my favs in there :)
Why does youtube always recommended videos from the UK to me?
Got the SEGA Master system when it first came out as a kid.. the first games I got were RAMBO “ coco puffs being shot out of his rifle” Astro Warrior “came with it” and Space Harrier.. still hear “GET READY” in my head now at 43.. LOVED Ghostbusters 👻.. Thunderblade, After Burner, Shinobi “arcade game I LOVED.. in my little 📺 GOLVARIUS “game was amazing for a Zelda type game”! My absolute fav SEGA console I had was my DREAMCAST... loved Genesis.. but it didn’t wow me like my Dreamcast
I know this is an old video, but - good job! 😊
The master system has two faces. The pre 90s sega, with its games also being released in the States and the post Europe & Brazil modern era. There are gems to be had from both periods and many of my American pals here, are missing so many essentials never released here in the US..
I always thought it bizarre that the Master System had such a big fan base in Brazil apposed to the US, are there any titles that stand out for you as not being released over your way? I can't say I have a huge knowledge base of what was released where.
SEGA should do a Master System collection, just like they do with Genesis. I know MS is much less popular, but it would be a great introduction for new players.
Price listing was a smart thing you did.
Great idea showing the price. Love it!
I always loved hangon/safari hunt.
When I was a kid here in the US I always loved the SMS more than the NES.... Problem..... No one else I knew owned so game trading and 2 player games were out of the question.
BIGRAYSWRESTLINGSHOW I second your emotion lol I'm here in Boston and still love my Sega Master System!! problem is everyone around me knows nothing about great 8 bit gaming🎮🎮💯💯
Robbie RuPac Radio So very underrated. I actually choose the SMS over the NES. I didn't have an NES til 89... Anyways love your work brother. Look me up at 1wrestlingvideo if you wish. Peace friend
great video. I think space harrier deserves a mention so does Zillion.
sam torres especially Space Harrier 3D. Sega was always innovative in their hardware
Man, no one ever mentions Zillion, that game was amazing :)
IKR? Zillion and Zillion 2 are *EPIC*
Loved Zillion never played the sequel though.
good job picking the correct number 1 ;) that lighthouse music!
Awesome review! This brought back memories
A galera brasileira vai lembrar de 2 jogos modificados para adaptação BR: TV Colosso (Asterix e Obelix) e Turma da Mônica: O Resgate (Wonder Boy III). TV Colosso ainda sofreu algumas mudanças quanto ao cenário do jogo, já Turma da Mônica incluído os personagens, porém fases e inimigos o mesmo do jogo que deu origem.
Maravilhosos tempos!
I also gotta say, the Master System Golden Axe game was pretty solid. sure it only had one character, but it still had all the levels.
Also look up Zillion. It's part metroid game, part puzzler. kind of an odd duck and an acquired taste. But I enjoyed it back in the day.
Fun fact.... The method used in phantasy star for the first person sections was modified for the Genesis, and used to make Duke Nukem 3d in Brazil.
Hey awesome list, but did you ever play Spellcaster? Super fun, long game, and I feel it was ahead of its time
I hadn't until someone else had pointed it out in the comments, then I watched a video and bought it off eBay. It is awesome.
OH MY DAYS... PSYCHO FOX ... I had totally forgotten about that game.
I thought you were going to put Alex Kidd in miracle world in the first place, but you didn't, lol. I remember buying a master system, I was 7 years old, and Alex Kidd was the first game I played!
I have to say I really freaked out playing that game. I also enjoyed playing Spider-Man vs the Kingpin and Master of Darkness ... These are the games that are missing in your list, from my humble point of view.
Thanks for the video, it's a great one indeed.
I grew up playing Altered Beast, Hang-on, Rambo First Blood Part II, After Burner, Shinobi.
Wonder boy was a fantastic game and I managed to complete it too. This video make me want to buy a master system but only the first one
R-Type with the track ball controller was awesome.
Nice list!
However I think this games are great to be in any MS list:
- Alex Kidd in the Miracle World
- Kenseiden
- Black Belt
- Sonic The Hedgehog
- R.C. Gran Prix
- Land of Illusion
- California Games
I'll try this Aladdin game, I only know the Mega Drive version and this other version looks cool.
I love this video for the simple reason that man said The Arcade Machine (when talking about Double Dragon) was in the local Fish & Chip shop! HA! BACK IN THE DAAAAAAAAY! All good Arcades were either in a Fish & Chip shop, Burger shop, Chinese Take-Away or Sweet shop! Loved them times!!!
That chip shop shut down last year, my childhood has been destroyed!
@@FullInstall NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I don't even live near there and I'm upset!
My favorite Sega Master System game was Kensieden or something like that. "Ninjas are cool and always will be"
Arcade games weren't as available? They were, unless you happened to live somewhere very remote such as the Isle of Skye of course.
Great list. You need to do your next top 20.
