Hey Unitman, yeah, still visiting this site once in a while.
I'm also active at www.segarc.tk; a Belgian Sega forum and www.9lives.be ( retro section , I'm there under the nickname dustar), also a Belgian site. Both sites are in Dutch, both almost every memberunderstands English.
Furthermore, there is also www.smstributes.co.uk, an English speaking forum.
You see, I'm quite active in Sega retro-sites :-)

Yup, wenn you give in "Sega Master System" in Google, this site is always one of the first which appears on screen.
Bought another 2 games yesterday ( Golfamania and Mickey Mouse / Caste Illusion ). 159 SMS games for the moment. Still 200 to go, I guess. Oh well...

The game itself is not that good. But I just bought it to test my 3D Glasses. And I was amazed to see how well those goggles worked. After all, we're talking about the eighties. The 3D effect was much better than I had expected!

I think the owner of this site have more sites than just this one, so the only cost is the Domain Name.
Too bad this site isn't updated anymore. Wehere I live, retro gaming is starting to boom.
Especially these sega Cards are quite rare. However, most games on the cards are more or less crap.

Perhaps you can mail Chris Woods ( email beneath this screen ) to ask how he manage to let the site be accessable. Since there stands 1997-2010 I guess the emailaddress is still in use.

Timbo,
I've played it in the early ninethies.
Got two books were we wrote down every world we've conquered.
We did advanced till about 5040, but from than onn, the worlds were not saved anymore, so every time you've powered the Sega off and would like to play at a later time, you had to start over from about 5020...
But it was a great game !

Found some screenshots of the game, together with a Master System III. Think it is a Brasilian game. The master System was way more populair there than in the States and Japan.
Only here in Europe the system also took an important part of marketshare away from Nintendo(n't).

Okay, I've got Miracle Warriors, Y's and Golvellius, but since Phantasy Star is seems to be the cream of the cream I suggest you all donate me a exemplar of the game.

This game was the 5th I've received. Believe it was begin 1990.
Unless most of you here, I do like the game a lot. The graphics were fine, the challenge is super, only thing is dat you die when you get thoughed by an enemy while most other games have a sort of "life meter".
After a few months I've been able to beat Captian Silver himself. Cutscene was a tree with gold coins in it, I believe.
