Comments: This really was a top game. i loved the thinking and writing down the notes. though i was too lazy to create a map thus i enever completed the game, but i probably will next time. reminds me a little of impssible mission except this game was much much better. I imagine in the era it came out 87, it would have been one of the best games around at the time

Spy vs. Spy

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: This game was almost brilliant. the 2 player mode was great, but the downfall was the trap system. you basically had to make a guess as to which trap was on which door/furniture. meaning you had a 50/50 chance of picking the correct item to diffuse each trap. if you guessed wrong, you're dead and then the opponent could just do this and wait for you to die then collect all the items you worked so hard to get. It's been a good 15-20 years since i played this so i dunno how well it still holds up, but was a greaat 2 player game

Star Wars

From: Rain
Comments: This game had such potential to be a classic. we start off on the hovercraft riding round the desert and go into various areas/caves where it switches to platform mode and you complete tasks/ go through the level, then ride off to find more. Cool feature where you can switch between luke and Han (when you find him) I got stuck on the deathstar though trying to destroy some towers that shoot at you and had no idea what i was supposed to do. quite alet down on these more diffucult later levels. but good game for a bit of boredom killing

Comments: Never played the mega drive or arcade versions, but did see screenshots. this version however i did own, and it was rather dissapointing. slow moving, quite barren/empty atmosphere shocking collision rate and awful jerky movements. It did however provide a slightly playable game, but not for long. i thik i completed the game within a week or 2 and never tocuhed it again

From: Rain
Comments: This is basically a slightly improved version of the original game. it moved a bit faster, had slightly better atmposphere, but was a very easy game and was over in no time. must try the rcade/mega drive versions to see if this was wasn't in face overhyped

Comments: Not the worst game. a bit like the running man for sega master system really. go from room to room shoot things, collect money/prizes go to next room, and so on. i dorecll this being quite a difficult game. but 2 player option gives the game a bit more lastability

Comments: basically space invaders with one or 2 more added fetures (powerups) and different backgrounds keeps things from being samey. other than that not much different. if you like the classic original then you'll like this

Comments: i don't often have much time for card games, with the lack of memory/depth, repetitive gameplay and no ending. this one is no exception. what i will give it is it is a slightly addictive game and fun to play. but damn it can get tedious

Comments: I can't believe they charged money for this game. while it was entertaining a fun side scrolling shooter with cool transforming features...the game is a continous loop of a couple of minutes. If you're the type of person who likes activities such as 'Watching paint dry' or 'Watching grass grow' or driving your car around roundabout for a few hours then this game is for you. otherwise, you may like this game for about 15 minutes

Trivial Pursuit

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: This is a great game, as all trivial pursuit games are. only thing is once you play it often you start to know all the answers making the game no fun anymore. im not sure if it was laziness, or the systems capacity, but if this had the amount of questions as the bord game, then it'd be one of the best sms titles

Wimbledon Tennis

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: Not the best tennis game i ever played. but not the worst. it was fast paced and had a cool stat system which ultimatly ruined the game as you become too good,making the final tournament - wimbledon a walk in the park. 2 player mode holds up a little bit better

Wonder Boy

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: as simple as this game is it's still great. i played it just last year and it was still as good s when i played it 1st in 1992. this time however being older and wiser than then i was able to complete the game properly (getting all the dolls) that was a moment of closure in my life. I'm stillfilled with nostalgia when i see this game or hear the music. i doubt the sequels are actually related to this game in any way at all.

Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: This is the best platformer game ever created. although arguably it could be considered an rpg. It took elements from the previous title and expanded on them. You play as a fire breathing dragon, a swimming fish man, a mouse who can get through the small gaps and stick to the walls, a lion who can break blocls below him, and the flying hawk man. why sega never expanded on the concept of this game with the saturn or dreamcast is a complete mystery. and probably explains why they arent in the console market at the moment. lets hope for future developments. I'm only giving this a 9 for being too short/easy

Wonder Boy in Monster Land

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: This was my favorite game on sega master system until i played its sequel, and then phantasy star after that. everything about it fills me with nostalgia. and the music is possibly my favorite on the sega. Very hard game though, i wish they'd take that timer out of the game, i think thatd make it quite fair. I hate to say that this game is a blueprint to its superior sequel, but it still ranks in my top 5 sms games. Since 92 ive yet to pass that last level, and i refuse to cheat via emulators or pausing cheat, so i may be trying for a loong time :p

Wonderboy 4

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: Very underated game. i loved this one. maybe it was becuse i was so happy there was another wonderboy to play. It was a little like dragons trap (3) except more rpg-ish and without the cool transforming things. if you like monsterland or dragons trap then do give this a try you may very well like it

Comments: Another 'events' game. this one was a bit more weird than the others though by having quite obscure events, and not many of them. again these games are only worthwhile if you are playing multiplayer. otherwise this is a seemingly average at best game

Comments: For an 8 bit wrestling game, this looks amazing and played pretty good too. but the game was far too easy! this is a problem ive noticed ina lot of wrestling games on several systems. repetitive moves and easy victories. On sms...this was as good as wrestling got (pro wrestling was the only other i know)

Ys: The Vanished Omens

2012-05-20
From: Rain
Comments: God i loved this game. 1st time i got it i was 9, me and my friend were too young to understand the game then. so we got stuck a lot. so we made our own game in it, by sitting inthe dark and playing the mine levels. then when the enemys appeared we'd shit ourselfs! haha it was like an early survival horror. Anyway 3 years later i played this game again and was able to understand it better and appreciate it more. while initially the combat system of walking into the enemys seemed stupid you do get used it it, and it makes for a less frustrating game later on when you can just walk straight through the weaker enemys. none of that going into a combat screen every few seconds like in modern rpgs for a random encounter with weak enemys all the time. The music i remember from this game was one of the best on the master system too, and this game is up there with the best on the system

Rating:

Phantasy Star

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: This is by far the best game on the sega master system. and even by todays standards this holds up extremely well. Nothing ever came close to this game on any console or arcade until phantasy star IV. This is the only game i will give a 10 rating to Legendary and when i hear the music i feel tingles in my spine

From: Rain
Comments: Apart from this being a short game, i could never pass that damn 2nd level anyway. Would be a better game with more depth and variety on the levels. but all in all a good puzzle game that'llkeep you entertained for about half an hour

Populous

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: I love this game. definitely the best puzzle game on the sms. wasnt really what i expected it to be when i 1st played it, it was much much better and addictive. you kinda just have to keep building though at some levels with no creativity meaning it can get quite monotonous. Pretty sad that there is no end as well. but the lastabilty of this game goes on almost forever.

From: Rain
Comments: I loved this movie as a kid, and i love this movie now. but this game was slightly disspointing (as are most movies made into games). But i wont knock it too much as at the time theres probably not much better they could have done to rush out a good game quickly to go with the films hype. Fun shoot em up that'll keep you coming back a couple of times before it becomes too frustrating

Prince of Persia

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: One of the better games on the sms. i remember being blown away by the graphics of it back in 93. i do remember the movements being a bit clunky and unforgiving though, but you do get used to it and then this becomes an amazing game. it's also not a difficult game as i managed to finish it as a 10 year old within a week. Never played another prince of persia game after this sms version but im curious to see if pt 2 improved on this one

Pro Wrestling

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: I got this game the same day i got my sms. and i was so excited, and this game was fun for a moment. i used to pick those blonde guys. anyway once you master this game and realise that you fight the same people 10 times in a row, fight some other guys 10 times in a row, then fight the 1st team 10 more times in a row and thats it. it kinda ruined it, as it was hella repetitive. Bit more fun playing 2 players and going head to head, or playing one player mode and taking a wrestler each and pausing and switching controls after tagging

Psycho Fox

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: One of the best platformers on the sms. kinda is sega's answer to mario at the time. would have been interesting if theyd made some sequels (Decap attack on the megadrive is a spititual sequel i guess) If sequels had been made we could very well hve seen psycho fox as segas mascott rather thn sonic

Comments: Very good game for it's era and its genre. got pretty difficult in the later levels, and i heard somewhere it couldnt be completed. not sure how true that is though. not really my genre though so never spent much time playing this game. but its playability still holds up today. id say its only woth playing it on a console as trying this on a keyboard would be hard as hell

Comments: This game was overated...kinda. i played the arcade version and loved it so was very excited to rent this one. and when i did i found it far more inferior, but hey its the sms, not an arcade so what do you expect. Initially it was loads of fun, but it did get kinda repetitive once the novelty wore off

Comments: great game. played this loads when i was about 10 years old after borrowing from a friend. never passed the final level but will have to revisit this one and do just that. Dunno why it's being compared to golden axe though, its not really like it at all. golden axe was a great arrcade game but it's sms counterpart wasn't the best. this sms game is good though. Also the soundtrack is awesome

Sonic Spinball

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: Really is what you expect, a mixture of a sonic title and a pinball game. one minute youre flicking way like a pinblass game then you're running through tunnels collecting thing. Feels a little like a bunch of sonic bonus stages thrown in to make one game. sega again cashing in on their mascott. Still a fun and addictive game

Sonic the Hedgehog

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: This was the straw that broke the camels back and helped sega finally cash in and rival or usurp nintendo in some markets. Sega finally had their mascot after alex kidd failed to bring any half decent sequels. This was a great game for beginners and experts alike, plus the sms version was different to the megadrive version. These graphics and gameplay on the sms at the time were quite mind blowing. In saying all that, i always have found sonic to be slightly overated, as in sega definitely had better titles out there. but this one was great that it was fun for all sorts of people

Rating:

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

2012-05-17
From: Rain
Comments: Again sega made a completely different sonic game for the sms than its megadrive counterpart. and this does not dissappoint. was as good as the last one. allthough, didnt really add too much new to it. more of just a rehash. Still holds up today brilliantly

Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos

2012-05-17

Comments: Like someone said earlier 'you played one sonic game you played them all' This one was still a good title, but it was far too easy. it's quite a rare one though as it came quite late in the master systems life, and was often never heard of.

Comments: Cool and original 8 bit sports title (even though it is just a mix of handball and ice hockey Much more fun than its predecessor too, as there are far more details involved. and a great player stat/shop feature to buff up your players (who actually have names! and you can sub) Defo a lot more playback on this one than Speedball 1

Very repetative and overated game TBH, but certainly not the worst

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

2012-05-16
From: Rain
Comments: Probably the most played game on the Sega. I spent most of 1992 trying to finish this game. took me about 10 months as a 9 year old. such a classic. i think i wanted more of an rpg element out of it though. prefered this game to all the sonic games. but after this the series went waaay downhill. only the enchanted castle was playable for me after this one

Comments: Did sega even try to compete with nintendo here? i've always been a sega loyalist but as mario on nintendo got better, these alex kidd sequels were really awful. ok so this is a playable game, but as a 10 year old i finished this game within 2-3 hours

Comments: Quite an overated game really. playable for a while, but it's so hard that you start to give up after a while. I finished the Megadrive version on the ps2 sega clssics only because it had a save feature, if not for that i can safely say id've never finished it. but i guess thats why arcade games are made that way, so you feed them more and more coins

Comments: This game had me and the family up on several saturday nights trying to finish it and better eachothers scores. a few months later i passed the 3rd level and...back to the beginning. nothing is more anticlimatic than games that did that.

Comments: 1st few times you play each game you think theyre both great, but after a while you realise why you get 2 for 1. Pit Pot was pretty cool, but perhaps i was too young to figure out how to pass the 2nd stage. And astro warrior, good game but really dislike the games that go back to the beginning on a continuous loop with no end

Comments: I'm huuge fan of RPG's and i remember playing this in 95 and being disspointed due to the lack of trditional rpg gameply involved. 16 years later i gave it another go, and now i apprecite it a bit more. i dont know how to compare it, maybe a cross between gauntlet and Ys, but it's quite an addictive game. and the randomly generated maps make it all the more fun, meaning the next time you play it's completely different game. Sometimes you need a bit of luck on your side with this. I managed to get to level 30 and could actually see the ending, but the creatures were way too powerful and fast for me to actully reach it. so i officially gave up. may revisit it again one day and give it another crack. very original rpg ish game. but don't expect anything like Govellius or Phatasy Star cos it's not that kind of game

Comments: Movies and Tv Shows being mde into games always fools you when you're a kid. 'oh i love that show!/movie!' etc so you immediatly assume the game is going to be great. 9 out of 10 times you'll be let down. this game is in that category. To be fair i never progressed past the 1st level where you have the ardous task of...painting the fence. Now most kids don;t want to paint a fence, but someone mustve thought thats what kids love doing, as they made the 1st level of this game, just that, painting a fence. I turned it off after about 3 attempts. still, i wont wrote it off as awful just yet, cos it could very well get better later on. but a good game will captivate you from the beginning, and unless you like painting fences, then this probably won't do that for you

Comments: As a huge rpg fan i felt a little conned when playing this game and realising its not really an rpg at all. plus the fact that you know you're playing a game that has no ending makes it feel a little 'whats the point?' But in saying that, it is a coin-op arcade game designed to devour peoples coins, and is quite a fun and addictive game.

Still, this is about the game, so as a game itself, i'm going to be unbiased and pretend this isnt a mc s*&t game and rate it as a game for playability

Golden Axe

Comments: Back in 1991 Golden Axe was my favorite arcade game. and i wanted a sega so bad, and golden axe was on top of my wishlist for games. I got the sega master system for xmas, but not this game. I'm so glad i never owned this game. as you could only pick the sword man. no dwarf, no woman. and it was only a one player game. I would have been very dissapointed. Still, it does play ok, but was an easy game to complete as you just jumped up and swung your sword at every baddie and progressed through the game easily

Comments: Instantly as you start this game you realise it is a zelda clone, but in my opinion it's better. This is definitely up there in the top 5 master system games of all time for me. Great feature with the axe to cut down trees sometimes revealing hidden rooms and things. Getting a Cannoe to progress across rivers later on and to take you to places you couldnt previously get to. If only this game had a sequel or 2

Comments: This is definitely up there in the top 5 of my favorite master system games ever. Again another zelda-esque clone, but probably better. only thing letting it down for me is the boss levels, while innovative and pretty cool, was far too easy to make one tiny mistake and die. and the password system i was never a fan of, but i guess theres not much you can do about that in an era not as advanced as we became in the 90's I have this game again, and i cannot wait to play it again

The letdowns were the endless random encounters, and to walk around which meant moving a cursor across an endless desert which looked just like all the others, meaning you could be wandering around for hours wit all the random fights that pop up I toonever found the last boss, but when i nextload this up if it gets too tedious, theres always google..allthough id really not want to tarnish it by cheating
