It is very ugly, and the number of good games is extremely low, but it is still a cool system for many reasons.

The SMS has tons of great games worldwide. There are enough U.S. release to make it worthwhile, let alone all the crazy stuff Europe got.

I don't know why so many people seem to think that the SMS has a limited library.

But I've never heard anyone say the SMS has few good games who could name very many SMS games in the first place.


The SMS 1 looked freakin' great.  The SMS 2 looked like ass.

This is fact.

Although I've never owned an SMS 2, I've always thought that it looks ugly compared to the originator ever since I first saw a SMS 2 back when it came out.

The original Master System design is so rad. Steve's old post about it is completely 100% factual.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Fantasy Zone 2 was my least favorite.  The music was pretty bad and warping back and forth between different... whatevers was confusing.

First, git yo nigga azz to stage 4.  In stage 4 about halfway through or so there will be a screen filled with tons and tons of dots because the SMS was a super powerful beast when it came to putting dots on the screen.  4 Mega power for the win!  Anyway, at the top of the screen there are two spaces without any dots.  Fly up into the left most space and back into the thing hanging down.  You'll be in a bonus stage that is so powerful that not even the PC Engine could do it.

Its a bonus Stage so powerful, that not even the arcade or Playstation could handle it in their shoddy downgraded ports.

In my area the SMS didn't have exposure plus you couldn't buy one even if you wanted as all the stores didn't stock.

I did eventually get one.  Around a year ago I threw it in the trash.

The thing was so ugly that my eyes couldn't handle looking at it any longer.

Looking back, I could had just put a brown bag over it.  You know, just the same for women.  Didn't come to mind at the time.

There is a Sonic restaurant/Texas Chainsaw Massacre joke in there somewhere, but I'm not the guy to make it.

I only want an SMS for Phantasy Star. I don't even have a ROM of it (I used to) or an emulator. :(

Please tell me you don't believe in that "Delete after 24 hours" bullshit.
