Love to hear it! Kung Fu Kid is one that I need to get into my collection still and play. Hang On/Safari Hunt was a pretty cool compilation. Thanks for watching!
Choplifter is such a timeless game and it holds up very well. I loved the concept of it and thought the color palette was beautiful. Thanks for watching friend!
Fun Fact: F-16 Fighting Falcon is the only game in the entire Master System library that has a link-up mode! You can plug the Japanese version into another Master System and play two screen dog fights!
Most “fun facts” that people disclose are boring but that one was actually fascinating! I never knew that was possible. It makes me want to see it in action now and it gives F-16 some much needed perks. Pretty sweet! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 🤙🏻
Even though I wouldn't get a chance to play a Master System for years, I do remember the hype in the mid-to-late 80s about its release! Poor "My Hero" got roasted! haha. I do like that the Master System built in a little game... but surprisingly, a lot of people never realized it was on there. I had a friend who had a Master System for years before they ever tried turning it on without a cartridge in it. So many of the early flight sims were crazy boring. They forgot the golden rule: Games should be fun! I used to play a version of that World Grand Prix on the computer, but it wasn't my computer, so I don't know much about it. I actually would play it at my Scout Master's house. Great compilation! Keep up the great work!
I can't believe you heard of any hype for the SMS! I'm glad you did as I feel like they didn't do a good job with the marketing aspect. My Hero... yikes man, this is one of the toughest games ever. Snail Maze is pretty fun and the fact that they put that in there is incredible. Early flight sims were soooooo bad. They needed that speed! That's cool you played World Grand Prix!! I had a buddy send me my copy and just recently got into it. Thanks for watching and I'm happy you're feeling back to yourself.
Great video, as always! I have to agree with your assessment of all of these games. We got our SMS in 1988. It came bundled with Hang-On/Safari Hunt bundled, and we got Choplifter along with it. We spent tons of time with all three. Best version of Choplifter ever! Hope you plan to cover some later years; 1989, especially, was a killer year for the SMS in NA.
You got a great bundle and Choplifter too?! You were already in gamer paradise in 1988. I was never good at Hang On… but Choplifter I got very good at. My next video I suppose I’ll spoil it but it will be the last 10 games released for the SMS although that means PAL games. I don’t count Brazil.
Ghost House looks like a fun game that I would’ve gotten with the SMS at launch. It looks like the console had a solid selection of titles overall for launch day. Great video as always man, and you can hear the passion you have for the SMS.
Ghost House is on my list to get next into my collection along with Teddy Boy and Quartet. I do think the SMS had a solid launch with games. There’s a little something for everyone. Thanks for watching my guy!
Aside from the built-in games (Hang-On and Safari Hunt), the first two games my sister and I had were Space Harrier and Ghostbusters. So awesome! To this day the Master System port of Space Harrrier is still the preeminent version for me.
Ghostbusters is still one I need to play myself. Space Harrier on the other hand is one that I’ve put some time into and I really stink at it haha. It’s so hard for me, but the boss fights are a lot of fun. I love hearing all the memories from other SMS gamers who share what games they had growing up. Thanks for watching!
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames 😂. To be honest. I don't recall much Sega anything in Mexico with the exception being a Sonic 1 Arcade machine. Only the few games my grandmother gave me that didn't work on her NES arcade cabinets. I know it was there but I don't think it reached the towns outside the big cities. I did see a Neo Geo Cabinet at some point in a larger town.
I always enjoy watching your SMS content because that's a console that I've never owned, so I know next to nothing about it! I was going to say that Transbot looked good but only 2 levels, and then it just loops over an over? That must get old real fast! Great video and keep up the good work!
Well you should enjoy my next few videos that I’ve got upcoming 👀 it’s really fun to learn about consoles we aren’t familiar with. I’m sure you could tell me tons of cool stuff about the Genesis and Saturn! Transbot is pretty lame haha
I’m a big history buff so I love making these types of videos to showcase old gaming consoles. Always fun to see others enjoy them too. Thanks for watching buddy!
There’s quite a few pretty good games in the early release era and I was quite surprised by the quality. Choplifter is an essential title to the system.
Transbot actually has 3 levels. You have to be using weapon D during the bit with the seemingly indestructible mines. Weapon D will smash them, and then you enter an underground level where you take on what looks like a walker from Star Wars. It took me years to find out about this as its never mentioned in the manual.
I want my hero just for the cover. Snail maze looks pretty sweet, simple and straight to the point, grand prix was the game I think I remember my uncle playing. Great video dude.
I think this is the longest comment you’ve ever left me. You must have been drinking. 🤔 I want to watch you stream My Hero. Makes Cuphead look like cake walk. Snail Maze is lowkey relaxing. Your uncle must have been a rad dude.
Good stuff, that explains the games I saw that my cousin got that Christmas (I never had my own SMS). I had a really good time with Ghost House and Transbot. It never dawned on me that Transbit only had two levels at the time lol. Hang-On and Safari Hunt were ok, I think Sega could have picked better pack ins. I've heard nothing but good things about the Choplifter port though and I'm actively looking for a clean copy.
Your cousin had a cool Christmas!! Ghost House is one that I want to get into my collection soon. That’s cool you were able to enjoy Transbot. As an adult I didn’t have much appreciation for it since it was relatively short but as a kid I’m sure I would have admired it. I hope you get Choplifter in your collection soon, that’s a childhood game of mine and it’s great. Thanks for watching!
The SMS is so cool, and I’m happy to connect with other cool guys across the pond like yourself over it. There’s plenty of PAL games I want to play still. Thanks for watching!
Ghost House is one I want to add to the collection soon. I love spooky games like that, and like you said it looks pretty good! Super cool you got to play Fantasy Zone!!
It was my first console (if you don't count the Commodore 64). Live in Europe, so I wonder how different our list would be. I have a full set now, but had 12 games for it as a child.
It was my first console too! I was the only one of my friends who had it. Everyone else had much newer systems haha but I love my SMS to this day. That’s incredible you have a full set, well done, congrats!! My next video topic is entirely based on PAL SMS games so stay tuned!
I got a master system 2 with alex kidd in miracle world and teddy boy for my 8th birthday, loved em both. Choplifter was great fun and my brother and I liked transbot but mainly for some easy dumb fun, it was so limited. Phantasy zone never really grabbed me though i played it a fair bit but yeah, my hero sucked haha
Wow, what an awesome birthday present! You must have tons of memories with those games and console. Choplifter is such an amazing game, I'm actually reviewing it soon on the channel. Haha, Transbot is silly quick fun. I wish it had more than two levels! Love to hear that you have some great games for the console. Thanks for watching!
Man Golvellius music is the GOAT. Hang on looks good but enduro racer is more fun. My Hero is dumb. Gotta love how unique the master system was, both Teddy Boy and Ghost house are not something you see on the NES.
Golvellius does have an excellent soundtrack! I agree that Enduro Racer is much better. My Hero is dumb and so frustrating to play with how hard it is. Teddy Boy and Ghost House are two games I still need in my collection. Thanks for watching!
I like My Hero. It took some practice, but after I came further and further, I did have fun with it. Transbot and F-16 Fighting Falcon however, are indeed incredibly boring.
My Hero can be addicting as it’s so brutally difficult and every step is an adrenaline rush. Breaking a PR in the game is always fun. F-16 fighting Falcon looked to be the worst in my opinion.
Astro Warrior was the 14th official release on the Master System released in December of 1986. I know there was a compilation of it with Hang-On, and it looks like it could have been released within the first 10 games. I have the stand alone copy of Astro Warrior so it kinda slipped my mind, thanks tho for reminding me and watching!
@@TigerChainsawVideoGames yes I was referring to the hang on astro warrior pack in for the non light gun system. I had some neighbors who's father was a pastor and didn't want them to have anything resembling a gun so they had that version. I later got the full version for myself of course, but my first master system experience was over at their house.
Got my Master System in 87. My first game other that Hang On/Safari Hunt was Kung Fu Kid. Give me Sega any day
Love to hear it! Kung Fu Kid is one that I need to get into my collection still and play. Hang On/Safari Hunt was a pretty cool compilation. Thanks for watching!
Until now there is no better version
of Choplifter.
That in itself is pretty incredible
for a game released that early.
Cheers!

Hey pal, great to hear from you. Sega is always a fun throwback! Hope you're doing well and enjoying some sweet video games.

Transbot is one of my least favourite Master System games ever. It is sooo boring.
Hehe it can get pretty boring!
Well you should enjoy my next few videos that I’ve got upcoming 👀 it’s really fun to learn about consoles we aren’t familiar with. I’m sure you could tell me tons of cool stuff about the Genesis and Saturn! Transbot is pretty lame haha
This was awesome i got in to gaming pretty late in the game so it was good to see the retro games 😊
I’m a big history buff so I love making these types of videos to showcase old gaming consoles. Always fun to see others enjoy them too. Thanks for watching buddy!
Early releases and still some fun to be had.
I think I would agree that choplifter is the best of the bunch.
There’s quite a few pretty good games in the early release era and I was quite surprised by the quality. Choplifter is an essential title to the system.
Ghost house looks fun! I’ve never played a Master System before so it’d be fun to give it a go sometime
I think you’re too much of a baby to play Ghost House! 👻🏠 but if I ever find it we can fire it up and give it a go.
Transbot actually has 3 levels.
You have to be using weapon D during the bit with the seemingly indestructible mines.
Weapon D will smash them, and then you enter an underground level where you take on what looks like a walker from Star Wars.

Well now my mind is just blown…. Whoa. I’m going to have to revisit it! Thanks for dropping a knowledge bomb on me and thanks for watching!

Great channel btw.

There appears to be a few differences between NA and European first releases.
Good stuff 😎👍
