What should my next Master System game be?
« on: May 08, 2012, 08:22:03 AM »
Yup, here's another one. :)  I have a relatively small collection of Master System games.  They are:

Kenseiden
Master of Darkness
Outrun
Hang-On/Astro Warrior
Sagaia
Galaxy Force
Ecco the Dolphin
Sonic the Hedgehog

I also have a rather large list of games I want:

Fantasy Zone
Fantasy Zone II
Power Strike
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat II
Road Rash
Bomber Raid
Shadow Dancer
Ninja Gaiden
Fire & Forget II
Chase HQ

To name a few.  So which game do you think I should get next?  It could be on the list, or not on the list.  Doesn't matter.  I'm just looking to expand my collection.  :)

Nice games so far.
On your want list, I've played MKII and Ninja Gaiden and they're awesome. Shadow Dancer is a big disappointment.

FYI - Bomber Raid isn't compatible with Genesis controllers and it's hard to find SMS controllers with good D-pads these days.

Check out Mickey Mouse Land of Illusion. It's the best of the trilogy and is my favorite platformer on the system.

Time Soldiers is a good, cheap, two-player run-and-gun and a little less difficult than Rambo or Alien Syndrome.

You don't have any RPGs or puzzlers yet. Ys, Ultima, Golden Axe Warrior, Phantasy Star, and Miracle Warriors are all awesome. Columns is a good two-player.

Since you already have Outrun, I'd recommend one of the two-player, top-down racers like RC Grand Prix, Buggy Run, or Micro Machines instead of Chase HQ.

EDIT: Micro Machines and some other games don't work on the original SMS. There's a list of incompatibilities here:

Have fun!

If the goal is to buy good games, then forget MK1 and 2 on Master System. They are a mess. And I'd not bother with Road Rash either. Road Rash is floaty and the hit detection is weak. Probe handled it instead of EA, and its just crappy.

I forgot to add to the list that I do have R-Type.  Awesome game. :)

I've played the first MK and Bomber Raid, and I like both. 

Anybody played Lord of the Sword?  It looks interesting, but I've heard bad things about it...

If you think those are bad, try MKIII. Absolutely horrific and unplayable on SMS.

It's like a clunky Zelda 2 without battery backup or a password system. Otherwise, it's not too bad.

It certainly appears so.  Is it similar to Kenseiden?  I've been thoroughly enjoying that one (even with it's nut-punching difficulty -.-)

I like Kenseiden too. It's been a long time since I've played LotS, but yeah, the play control is fairly similar, IIRC. The exploration is non-linear in a Legacy of the Wizard/Metroid sort of way, but there's a very specific order you have to do the fetch questing. It makes for a lot of traipsing back and forth through the hard-as-nails stages. Pretty soon, your finite number of lives run out and I don't think there are any continues.

Judging by your tastes I'd recommend Wonderboy and Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

If you haven't played through Dragon's Curse for TG-16, you might wanna try the SMS version Wonderboy III. It's one of teh greatest games evAR.

Shinobi.  It's a very good port considering the system.  Shinobi and After Burner were the reasons I got my SMS back in the day.  I played a ton out of them.
