You can really see that it is a US channel. Unfortunately, most of the really good master system games are not named that way, because EU only. the master system was extremely strong in europe in the early 90's, and the games that came out at that time were on a completely different level technically and in terms of gameplay, than the 80's master system games. Closer to 16 bit Genesis games than NES games. If you are impressed by R Type, you should take a look at Power Strike 2, for example

Good choice, there are twice as many levels on the japanese game. Even the ending of the game is weirdly philosophical, you just gotta love the Master System. Here is the script : “Enduro” is a symbolic journey through life via the media of a race. The results are insignificant and what really counts is competing. Of particular importance are the lessons to be learned concerning one’s self from the various encounters you experience along the way. There is no victor or loser in this test of endurance. The only thing that really matters is that you make a commitment to begin the long and trying trek. This game is then dedicated to all of the “life riders” who have started out on the solitary trip to find their own individual limits. Last, but not least, may we sincerely congratulate you on a perfect run.

Hey, long-time Sega fan here! My brother and I also got a Master System for Christmas instead of an NES, at my insistent pleading. Loved the list! All solid choices. I second your Golvellius, Rambo II, Phantasy Star, and Wonder Boy II and III picks. I probably would also have Double Dragon (another 2-player simultaneous romp), Rastan, and Kenseiden on the list, but I admit those picks may be colored by nostalgia. The other one I’d argue for inclusion would be Y’s. It was my first experience with an action RPG, and those tunes are forever burned into my mind (thank you Yuzo Koshiro and Tokuhiko Uwabo and Izuho Nomata). One minor “um, actually” about the video is that the SMS was more powerful than the NES in every facet except sound. Even though I have a soft spot for those SMS square channels, I have to admit it’s objectively outclassed by the NES’ chip. The FM add-on is nice, but we didn’t get to see that here.

@@TigerChainsawVideoGames You my friend are going to love Rastan. It does what R-Type did for the shmup genre on the Master System. This reminds me of something that happened during my childhood. Now, I don't remember the year but it was during the 3rd generation... So in Elementary school I had two very good friends with extremely different tastes. One was a Nintendo diehard fanboy (in the traditional sense) and the other was a huge Atari guy. I was in the middle as I had both the Master System and Nes (divorced parents+ medical disability). I was always cool with the Nes but the Master System felt special. My two friends would make fun of the Master System because too them it lacked big games like the Nes (had everything) and Atari (classics). At the time Rastan was pretty big in the arcades and when I saw it advertised in a Toys R' Us catalog I had to have it. After getting the game I called the two over to "hangout" and maybe play some Sega games. I waited for them both to arrive before playing Rastan... When they both were in my room the "Why can't we play Nintendo..." nonsense immediately started. I said okay but there's something I want to check out first. I slyly wrapped the cart in my hands and popped it into my Master System and their response was pure gold. "Rastan is on the Master System?! Can I play first?!" Nope. I played until they admitted the Master System was an "amazing, great, incredible, bestest ever console they had ever witnessed" then I shared. We played that game so much that my label became damaged and I don't care as it gave it character. ;) Once again, excellent video!

One good friend had me over to try his master system , I knew then I liked it best. However games like Contra, Castlevania, Metroid, Super Mario made my decision tough. I got a used NES bundle at a great price with those games and a few more in 1989 before the Genesis came out. Rainy day & snow days were alot of fun for me growing up.

A solid line up of games which is limited by the truncated USA game library. Here in the UK we had many more games and some of the later ones really pushed what could be done on 8-bit video game systems. However, my all-time favourite game on the system is Wonderboy III and I just started replaying it on my RGB modded SMS

You said that right! We were limited unfortunately over here, and I'm very jealous of all the great SMS games you received in the UK. One that I really enjoy is Submarine Attack. WonderBoy III is an amazing game and I'm happy to hear you loved it. It's special to me too.

Wonder Boy 3 on the Master System blew me away when I was a kid in the 80's. When I discovered that the TurboGrafx 16 had a port of this game, I needed that console and I bought it. It took me almost a year to gather the money for it but it was so worth it. The TG16 port is awesome! I've played that, Bonk's Adventure and Splatterhouse so much. Same than with the Master System though, I was the only person I knew who had a TG16, which sucked, I had no one to lend me games. I had to rent or buy.

I think Quartet has the best soundtrack of the whole 8-bit era. The jazzy solo in the stage 2 music -- that stuck with me for decades; it's meaningful to me. Stage 4's music brings the funk hard, and it blows my mind that the composer had the panache to create that drum solo out of nothing but white noise. When I recently picked up a Sega Master System, having lost mine from childhood close to 30 years ago, Quartet was the first game I bought.

I'm in the UK, I never had a Master, I had a 64 and a Nes. I used to read Mean Machines so I was aware of games like WOnderboy3. When I got my Megadrive I intended to buy the converter (still 30 quid) and buy Wonderboy3...and if I had known about them at the time; Golvellius and the Golden Axe Zelda clone as I know I would have loved them! I also loved the Asterix games, but stuff moved too fast back then and I never did get he converter...bought a load of Megadrive games though. :D I think I had a thing about not buying games for an 8-bit system when I had a 16 bit (probably still brought some Nes games). But looking back now in 20/20, the best games sometimes appeared on different machines and sometimes that was the 8-bit.
