What are the best Master System titles?

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Shoot me some names. Basically anything that works fine on a ntsc setup. I have a pal switch installed but prefer to stick with titles that can work in ntsc.

If you have the 3D glasses, a CRT TV and a light phaser

[Jibbajaba]

It has, in my opinion, the best version of Choplifter.

[Arkhan]

Cyborg Hunter, Ninja (Ninja Princess rehash basically).

Zillion 1 and 2.

[BigusSchmuck]

It has, in my opinion, the best version of Choplifter.

I agree 100%.
Some titles I enjoyed on the Master System:
Wonderboy games
Phantasy Star
Bubble Bobble
Asterisk and Obelix
Zillion
Ultima 4 (best console version)
Spy vs Spy
Rampage
Double Dragon (flicker and all)

Lots of games, too many to list

[Arkhan]

someone should point this out.

Ultima 4 is f*cking expensive and was only released in Europe, and it also ditches the first person dungeons, so that sucks.

[MrBroadway]

Just going to release my list:

Bomber Raid
Choplifter
Enduro Racer
Global Defense
Golden Axe Warrior
Line of Fire
Kenseiden
Castle of Illusion (Mickey Mouse)
Land of Illusion (Mickey Mouse)
Legend of Illusion (Mickey Mouse) [Skip these three if you didn't like or weren't overly excited by the Genesis games.]
Ninja Gaiden
Paperboy [Best version of this game on a console.]
Penguin Land
Phantasy Star
Power Strike
Power Strike II
Psycho Fox
Quartet
Scramble Spirits
Shinobi
Sonic Chaos
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Thunder Blade
Wonder Boy in Dragon’s Trap
Zillion

A number of these, and others on other people's lists, are actually PAL games that were just capable of running on a NTSC system. Sonic the Hedgehog comes to mind. The only difference was the box (US had a sticker), otherwise the game is the same and was optimized for PAL consoles, not US ones.

Forgot about that bit. lol Still, better than the NES version..

Every game designed in Japan, even if only released in PAL territories, is tuned for NTSC without any problem.

[ProfessorProfessorson]

What games are Pal specific then, that do not run, or run well in NTSC, like run to fast or have glitches? I planned to pick up Renegade for sure, but did want to make sure that game would play well. Scramble Spirits was on my mind too, as was Aerial Assault, if it is any good.  This is what I have currently:

Rambo II
Shinobi
Spy vs Spy
Not so Great Basketball
Aztec Adventure
Hang On/ Astro Warrior
Hang On/Safari Hunt
Y's
Kenseiden
Quartet
Double Dragon
Zillion
Wonderboy in Monster Land
Paper Boy
Spellcaster
Rastan
Enduro Racer
Thunder Blade
Outrun
Time Soldiers
GhostBusters
Wonder Boy
Lord of Sword
Alien Syndrome
Miracle Warriors
Zillion II
Ghost House

As of this past weekend Choplifter is on the way.

I enjoy all versions of Ultima IV except NES, but SMS will always be my favorite. Not only was it released in Canada, but many say that it was also released in the U.S.

I don't know what passes as expensive anymore, but you can BIN for $11 on eBay and with case and manual for less than Atlantean.

[Bloufo]

You don't absolutely have to but it's always a good thing if you had a way to access the FM tunes for those games that support it.

I couldn't find any CIB auctions of it on Master System that cheap. Cheapest one I saw was a loose cart from France.
