Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos

From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This game is terrific. The Sonic games for the Master System started to give the Sonic games for the Genesis a run for their money.

Comments: This is one of the greatest 8-bit platform games ever created. Beautiful graphics, varied gameplay, minigames, incredible imagination and quirkiness, and great level design. Perfect. This is a Master System \"must have\".

Comments: This is a wonderful strategy/platform game with incredible graphics and brilliant original gameplay. Plus, you get to design your own levels. Too bad this didn\'t catch on. It\'s terrific.

Golden Axe Warrior

2001-06-23
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: Finally! I just got a copy of this great game. WAY better then Zelda. The graphics, control, and game play are fantastic. An 8-bit game that's just as fun as a playstation, 64, or 128 bit game. Now my colecting can cease. Sure, I'd still like Ghost House or Fantasy Zone 2, but this one was the holy grail of SMS. Right up there with The Smurfs(which I have). I recommend this title highly.

Micheal Jacksons Moonwalker

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: The game itself is OK. I love hearing Michael Jackson tunes in 8-bit sega sound, but it's all a bit too creepy. It doesn't do much for his image to around collecting little children. When I play the gameI feel kind of dirty for helping him out. For god's sake keep himaway from kids. But it's a good SMS game. Michael Jackson is an idiot-psycho by the way. Just to clear things up.

Dick Tracy

From: Mathew Moore
Comments: I really wanted to like this game. I bought it when there weren't many SMS games coming out and I wanted to feel a little Master System pride, but this didn't do much for me. It's OK. Just bad controls and graphics. Not very exciting game play. Get "Dead Angle" instead.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This is the best platform game of all time. Incredible imagination, gameplay, controls, and graphics. It is still as fun today as it was when it first came out. Brilliant. I hope they make one for "Next Generation" systems.

Alex Kidd: the Lost Stars

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This was great as a game, but not great as a sequel to the brilliant Alex Kidd in Miracle World. Still the graphics were good, and the game had a lot of wierd images like: "Guy in Sunglasses Shooting Skulls Out His Ass" It's a great game, actually.

Alex Kidd in High Tech World

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: Now this game was disappointing as an Alex Kidd sequel. Did the creators totally lose the point of an Alex Kidd game? Had they even played Miracle World? Still, there was a good deal to be entertained by in the game. The mix of simple RPG elements and action(ninjas in the forest) was nice. And, it gets points for simply having Alex Kidd in it. Eh, it's fun, but only for die hard Alex Kidd fans.

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: Disappointing. Not a true Alex Kidd game at all. Sega totally lost the point and forgot what made Alex Kidd in Miracle World the best platform game of all time. The graphics are bland, the gameplay is boring, and we've done it all before in Shinobi. Lame recycling by Sega. Still, it's got Alex Kidd, so I can't hate it.

Castle of Illusion

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This game is great! The graphics are some of the best on an 8-bit system and the gameplay is very good. This was better then the Genesis version. Castle of Illusion totally renewed my faith in the Master System. Excellent game.

Ghostbusters

2001-05-01

Comments: This was the first game I got for the Sega Master System. It's fantastic. This version of the Ghostbusters video game is the best I've ever played. It looks and plays great. A classic.

Kung Fu Kid

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This was a good game. Way better then Kung Fu on the NES. The variety, gameplay, and graphics were very good for it's time. I also like how you jumped 15 times the length of your own body. Fun.

Comments: This game is horrible!!! Very very slow, very bad controls, and awful graphics. The Arcade version was below average. It's just not a good game! It looks and plays terribly!

Bubble Bobble

2001-05-01
From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This game is perfect. Bubble Bobble in itself is a classic. I remember playing it at Perry's Pizza(Huntington Beach, CA) and loving it. THe Master System version is A+ perfect. The NES version was bland and horrible. SMS captures all the colors, characters, and smooth gameplay of the arcade. It has enormous replay value. One of the best games on the Sega Master System.

Carmen Sandiego

Comments: This game was a lot of fun when you thought you may eventually catch Carmen Sandiego. When you realized you couldn't it became a taunting hell. Still, it was good. Parker Brothers made me use my brain!

From: Mathew Moore
Comments: This game is as addicting as gambling itself. A lot of fun even though I always lost all my cash. The guys broken and tormented face at the end was perfect. Start your kids gambling addiction early, buy them this game. What was with that horrible pin-ball game, though? I mean I played it for hours on end, but what was with that?

Comments: This was the ultimate 8-bit sports game of it's time. The game play was perfect. Great Basketball is totally addicting to this day. Build up your shot points and sink baskets from the other side of the court.
