It had some good games although a lot of them were also on the Genesis or on the NES. The biggest issue was being sandwiched between the NES and Genesis meant a lot of the system's games could be found on other consoles or didn't have the really big name games until the Genesis arrived. |

In terms of graphics, the SMS blew NES out of the water.

Yes. Even the Mega Drive "ports" were typically completely different games. The Sonic ones were much harder than the Mega Drive ones and awesome in their own way.
Spiderman Vs. The Kingpin was another personal fave as well as Wonderboy 3. |

Alex Kidd in Miracle World.
It also seems to be the only Master System game I can remember playing. |

I liked the Master System port of Ultima IV as well, good RPG. Would have been better if two of the manuals that came with it weren't entirely in French though. |

Master System was my first console. Had shit loads of games for it, but ended up selling them pretty cheap. This was before things like Ebay were around.
Shit if I had kept all of it and put it on Ebay now I'd probably make a nice ammount of money out of it. |

I honestly didn't even know the Master System was released here. Until a few years ago I thought it was a Japan-only system that failed against the NES. My first exposure to Sega was Genesis.
Also found out recently that the Game Gear was the equivalent of a Master System with a bigger pallet. They even released an adapter for Master System games on the Game Gear. |

Yeah, I have an emulator for the Sega Master System. It had a better quality to it than the Nintendo, but I just couldn't get into anything Sega related afterwards.

I had that too. I was terrible at it.
Amazing, a boss you can kill by standing in a single spot. What terrible game design. |

Laser Ghost was a good game, though insanely difficult if you were playing it without the Light Phaser, which is the way I played it. The Haunted Portrait used to creep me out as a kid too. ![]() And Enduro Racer, as Bad Company mentioned before. I loved this game as a kid. Simple concept, but actually really fun. I used to play it for hours at a time. Catchy music too. |

I had a Light Phaser. Only ever had Operation Wolf that went along with it though.
Ah memories. |

What was the game where you shot mobsters and then you could shoot their ghosts to send them to hell?

Back in the day, I bought a Master System, 2 controllers, the gun, and like 10 games off of a friend of a friend for about $30 (they just got a Genesis, so...) Space Harrier, AfterBurner, Hang On/Safari Hunt, Alex Kidd and the Lost Stars, Shinobi, Great Football, Great Basketball (neither of which were really "great", but they were 2 player) , Astro Warrior, a more arcade accurate Double Dragon than NES had, and Phantasy Star.
I was never really a part of the "Master System Posse", mainly because I could borrow/rent more stuff on the NES, since almost everyone had one... but I don't regret the purchase. |

It was something stupid like copter rescue or some bollocks. It was a 2d scrolling game with really shitty graphics but it was addictive.

Lol I remember getting Alien Syndrome for the SMS when I was 5 and would only beat the first level because the boss on the Second Level scared me.
