[@AlTheRelic]

You're a God of Sega Master System games knowledge, can you tell me the name of this 2 player game with a bald male character with black glasses dressed iin green and a female character dressed in red, they were both wearing jet packs & would shoot the games creatures. My Sister & I played it as kids & for nostalgia I'd love to play it again. Any help appreciated.

[@EnerieEffex]

@@AlTheRelic Sounds like you're talking about 'Quartet'.

[@katakisLives]

The Master system had really top quality 8 bit graphics! and what a brilliant back catalog

[@bruceleeroy8302]

I did not know they had Sonic games before the genesis. Mind blown! The Sega Master system was pretty damned good!

[@coolboysess]

Looking back at this I can't believe all these games were for the sega master system! That system was really ahead of its time, I mean for 1986 those graphics are awesome. Too bad sega messed up with the Genesis.

[@Mepsipax12]

Wow, this system looks fun as hell. I should get this.

[@azb0111]

such a great machine

[@GnarkillSlayerGwar]

Master system 2 was the shit in its day. So many good memories

[@wishingW3L]

wow, I didn't know the Sega Master was so advanced for its time! It looks almost as good as a Snes.

[@Knarkoffer]

So many wonderful memories with the Sega Master System. I'm happy that i was growing up with both Sega and Nintendo.

[@LunaticPaul1976]

47Wonderboy/1:48DoubleDragon/2:18Shinobi/3:32Moonwalker/3:48PhantasyStar Most people's fav Master System game including mine.It had some of the best graphics for it's time.The Skyrim of it's time./4:00GhoulsandGhosts/5:46SpaceHarrier/6:25Zillion A gem alot of you missed./7:32PenguinLand Need angermanagement after playing/8:05Spellcaster Reminded me of Ryu maybe my second fav game/8:45Ninja Everyones fav/There you go,my favs and a damn good list for you.Looks like I missed out on some good ones.

[@openhead]

dude, awesome vid. i can't begin to count the number of hours i spent playing my SMS in my youth. some incredible games that bring me right back. kung-fu kid, shinobi and r-type? goddamn, these games were the bomb.

[@OKauyon]

Same here, endless fun with just those two games :)

[@DookieCakes]

I missed the opportunity to have a MS as a kid, but I just recently bought one, and it's an impressive system. Especially when you look at how good some of MS versions of the game look when compared to the Genesis versions as previously mentioned. Great underrated system.

[@aboohoo]

great list mate! totally forgot about psycho fox and lord of the sword until i saw them in this vid.. will def have to get a hold of them and give them another go, cheers :D

[@RetroSanctuary]

1.10 is Bram Stoker's Dracula, which is a very good game sadly overlooked due to it's film licence tie-in status 3.15 is Powerstrike/Aleste When I get around to it there will definately be a list of games.

[@vertigoman1]

@copali The first song is Star Guitar by The Chemical Brothers

[@KollisionBR]

Wow, that Robocop port is impressive. Overall a very nice and amusing video! Congrats!

[@RetroSanctuary]

Battletoads only ever came out in Brazil, there's this Brazilian company called Tec toy who struck a deal with Sega to handle all their products in Brazil, The Master System was massive over there and stayed around for ages, Tec Toy got ahold of a lot of the games made at the end of the Master Systems lifespan that had been abandoned and gave them Brazilian releases.

[@stufaman]

@dylanacious Still that's the beauty of KZbin. You can see all your favourite bits at the push of a button.

[@fooschmack]

@andypekas According to the list at the link in the description, it's called 'The Ninja'. They didn't have to be terribly creative with their titles back then, so it's completely plausible.

[@stezo2k]

The Master system/GG version of sonic 2 was awesome. as good as the megadrive ones great vid and great choice of songs, star guitar is a great track

[@RoBoTNiKaa]

good stuff. have'nt seen a lot of these for years. R-Type and mickey, streets of rage.WONDER BOY. .

[@RetroSanctuary]

Yeah the MS version of Robocop Vs Terminator really is quite nice, it's biggest problem is that it's a bit easy unfortunately, still a great game though. Every Master System emulator gave me problems with one game or another, I actually couldn't get The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy to run at all whilst recording so had to leave it out in the end :(

[@davidhiram8045]

Great selection, great music, great edition, great job, 10/10!

[@FoxMulder84]

@braswellrichard the name of the game is "The Ninja" and it was released in 1986. It was the first game I've ever played on SMS. It was marvellous ! :) P.s. In European version, there's an easter egg before the last stage. C u !

[@skeggjoldgunnr3167]

okay now. that Streets Of Rage action was missing the epic clack sound as a baddie's cranium is busted by Axel's pipe...and it was CERTAINLY in need of them kickin' Yuzo Koshiro techno rave jams.

[@PastoKage]

Great Consolle . . . Nostalgia !

[@Relugus]

Road Rash on the Master System is incredible, as is Golden Axe (which I actually prefer to the Megadrive version) It was a very powerful 8-bit machine (the dungeons in Phantasy Star...I remember when I first saw those and my jaw dropped, still looks impressive even now). Thanks to its success in Europe, the SMS picked alot of third party support.

[@stufaman]

I've got virtualy all the UK SMS releases. Somehow my SMS collection still looks more impressive than most of my recent stacks. Mind you I didn't know there was a SMS version of Baku Baku or Dynamite Heady. Alas SMS was a hidiously underated machine and did some awesome games.

[@Eveninx]

Godo video! I missed some games I had (in fact, I still have!): Blade Eagle 3D, Zaxxon and Alien Storm - awesome game! The ones i like more: The Lucky Dime Caper, Wonderboy, Psycho Fox, Alex K in Shinoby World. There are also: Capitain Silver (misc of various fairy taleS), Indiana Jones and the last crusade, Paper Boy and California games! You should play!

[@DocSicnarf]

Those were all made for the Master System too. In fact there are quite a few Sonic games for the Master System. Sega re-released many of their older games on the Genesis.

[@raafmaat]

depends if you can find the right connectors.. what inputs does the tv have? what outputs does the master system have? Im not 100% sure, but hooking up my NES to my led tv was as easy as buying a composite cable

[@Mr.Atari2600]

the sega master system was ahead of its time, the graphics already comes close looking like 16-bit graphics & pretty much puts the NES to shame but sadly the SMS lacked of sound & units

[@nickrussell5067]

Love the master blaster. I had some good titles for it myself.

[@defiraphi]

those were the real games that all was fun nice and hourrrrrssss of happiness , to explore all the graphics and many more , such time will never exist anymore sadly , all games from now are similar and boring , ah i so much enjoyed those times and still do master system, nintendo, mega drive, atari, commodore, the best of the best if it was possible i would give this video 1000000 stars for the nostalgia and the good feeling it brings , thank you jesusarnold

[@TheBeaver50]

@ 4:31 Golvellius . This game absolutly rocked .

[@copali]

@Popelopo the second song: massive attack-teardrop- the first i don't know! i need to know too!

[@johntanem]

Where's the list link? And what's the game at 1:13? Dat was very good! I was like 5 when I was tryin to beat it, now I'm 28 and stil smile bout it

[@MrPezzzz]

Yeah Sega was pretty popular when I lived in New Zealand, barely saw many NES's, I just think it deserved more success then it got, it was a brilliant 8-Bit console.

[@swerob00]

Star guitar chemical brothers.....1 of my fav songs ever

[@SpaceWolf011]

Can someone please tell me what is the name of the racing game at 3:10? I remember I loved it and played it much as a kid. I made a great mistake some years ago and let my parents convince me to give my Master System 2 to some kid. Now I am nostalgic about it and the few games I had (this game, Alex Kidd and one or two others, I got the console from Germany and it was absolutely impossible to get the games for it in Serbia, because of the wars and the sanctions.

[@ryanmetheral]

I play my SMS all the time. Controllers still work. My buddy and I play Great Baseball a lot, our games can get quite heated! I'm still trying to beat Alien Syndrome. Just finished Shinobi the other day, haven't done that since 1989. Awesome system.

[@alienwarelaptop100]

My favorite was Alexx Kid. Sega Master System 2 was my first sega console and Alex kid was my first sega game. Im gonna go cry now.

[@bluesuncompanyman]

0:23-0:28 I remember when Robocop came out there was a backlash from parent groups that the way the enemies died was "too bloody" (you can see this in the clip). It seems silly looking at it now and compareing to games on the Xbox or PS3. How the times change.

[@ATARI800XLfan]

Nice video. Would it be worth trading in a Sega 32X for a master system?

[@ralphenstein]

I think the one at 2:35 is Wonder Boy III. Don't know what the one at 6:20 is.

[@MondaiSenshi]

@zickbone But 6 seconds of music isn't nearly enough for a proper sample. And considering how varied the games in this video are, as much as I love old-school videogame music, 6 seconds of audio from random games strung together would just sound like noise. They couldn't get 100 samples of videogame music into one video cleanly and still fit it onto KZbin.

[@sguitas]

Good memories you brought me Some that i just played the frists level, becouse in that time the game was too hard for me

[@BrianGreigRWD]

These are all Master System games. They released a lot of games (Golden Axe, Sonic) on both platforms.

[@P5BDeluxeWiFi]

I keep seeing comments about SMS games saying ,"great considering the limitations" ...well the SMS was clearly not that limited because the games all look great. I owned an Amiga in those days but if I could go back I'd tell myself to buy a SMS (aswell)

[@florre]

@Piastunkaa Its called "ghostbusters"

[@paulrodriguez398]

beatiful music

[@dylanacious]

Well done good choice of music too!

[@TheGrenny1]

that would be rainbow island.It was also a big hit in my local arcade

[@BlackRoseImmortal861]

Oh my gods, Mercs!!! One of the best Master System game ever played. Last time I played it was in 1994. I think I will play it again one of these days! :) ps. have you ever played Golfamania, Cyber-Shinobi or Rescue Mission? I don't see them in the list! :)

[@TheBearSpiceKitchen]

OMG! Psycho Fox was fantastic too !

[@sebasperotto]

Can anyone remember a game for MS that was a 30's shooting mob game?? It was like in 1st person, and only showed a silhouette of yourself? It was like viruta cop, with the screen moving by herself(in 2d, of course), and you aiming and shooting....

[@jtthegame]

master system the first games console i ever owned and the first one that was worth owning. i did not realize it had a version of baku baku my faviorite saturn puzzle game. The master system was the best games console of its time with games like danan, alex kid, shinobi, the ninja and many more.

[@nickmalena]

Love these games! What's the game on 4:32 please?

[@zickbone]

goto say, a big part of the awesomeness of the oldschool games are the music, so sad to see you din't include it, and therefor i dint not watch your video

[@MonkeyMagicMonk]

Ahh... nostalgia....thoses were the days...

[@intheblues]

excellent. thanks for the memories :)

[@TheDarkstar826]

OMG fLASHBACK AT 4:07. i USE TO PLAY THAT GAME FOREVER.

[@jameseyk1]

its hang-on, the finest motorcyle game ever. EVER I TELLS YA! came built in my mastersystem with safari hunt.

[@xvert1967]

So quality titles in there..............happy days

[@gluefrog78]

i still have my master system with its card game slot and a few cards, might be worth a few quid now especially as it still has its box...

[@ellish3399]

i had 30 of of those games, although some of them i had on the sega megadrive and the sega gamegear .... i miss sega consoles i wish they would release a new one

[@MrSJW76]

I'd love them to re-release a master system with built in games, would have to modelled on the original console though not the master system 2. Loved the video great memories, who needs 3-D graphics when you have gameplay like this.

[@KimCheeWarrior]

alot of the magic that comes from the nostalgia of old school games (especially for people who actually played them in their heyday and not only on an emulator) are their music. i voted a like for the video just for the video footage of the games but a huge boo goes out to the producer for not including the original game audio.

[@stufaman]

I still got my SMS. It's a shame it didn't fare better against the NES. To this day no games collection looks as good as a stack of those lovely white boxes.

[@godlesswickedvanian]

i don't know why Master system came out with the Cart adaptor for Game Gear, but at least Sega kept the same concept of Game Gear games on the Master System unlike Nintendo and Gameboy. I have the adapter, don't use it anymore, I went to Emulators unfortunatley. I remember that cost 25 bucks back then.

[@Eric_Malkav]

I've never had the chance to play any of these games except for a couple pots on the Game Gear... I have never even seen an SMS in person before. I've only seen the Genesis adapter once, and it was expensive as hell. If I had the chance to play any of these, I would jump at the chance.

[@RetroSanctuary]

what do you mean?

[@tommybranca8800]

The music in the background sounds like a Genesis/SNES Song. By the way, someone makes a homebrew Cart with 100 SMS and Game Gear games on it for Game Boy Advance

[@RetroSanctuary]

Yeah the two consoles shared the same hardware so Batman was probably the same game ported to both consoles, as was usually the custom (if you've made a game for one system you'd might as well release it for the other identical hardware too to maximize profits).

[@cessnaace]

It got alot more support in Europe. In many parts of Europe the Master System was the dominant console. In Brazil this was even more the case. While the NTSC Western Master System will play most of the PAL games, some are less than stable. Thenesdump offers PAL exclusives on NTSC carts. The Brazilian variant is so close to NTSC is should play those games ok. But just in the U.K. alone the system got 3 times the games that the U.S. got. STAY AWESOME! :)

[@ralphenstein]

I'm fairly sure that's Wonder Boy III, but there were a couple more in this video that looked like that game. I think it might be Wonder Boy in Monster Land.

[@Decembermoonshield]

I don't think I saw one sports game. Great baseball rocked, there was a pretty cool hockey game too but I forgot the name.

[@ichramhussain6226]

I was good at Alex Kidd - loved that game. I think Sega games all have a look, and so do Nintendo, you can often tell if its Sega or Nintendo without knowing, I think. Sega was my fave, although I did own a Gameboy ,NES,Super NES, and N64.

[@donnar307]

nice video takes you back n tear drop what a choon

[@ynthrepic]

Actually, 7:15, what is that puzzle game called? i remember it being very hard haha

[@jtthegame]

@JBOPatrick i live in the uk and everyone i know had a master system i don't know anyone that had a nes. fact is the nes only got anywhere because of america

[@thewerrett]

Hey :) That game is ' Wonderboy in monster world ' (NOT to be confused with Wonderboy in monster land)

[@MrPezzzz]

Great summary, I really wished the Master System got more support It would have given the NES a run for its money.

[@TerasTolkki]

what the name of the game at 8.25? I had that one years ago but for some reason we got rid of console and games. it brought back memories so i am curious

[@Shumo]

i still have my master system, is there anyway i can hook it up to my LED tv?

[@braveale]

1:14 - wonder boy in monster land 5:45 - space harrier

[@RetroSanctuary]

There's a list now, click "more info" then hit the link.

[@hootyhaha]

2:52 what is that game with the little squaty flying ship?

[@frenchfrey65]

9:29 YES MIRACLE WARRIORS!!!! and lol at the fact teardrop by massive attack (if anyone hasn't said it already XD) Is aka Dr. House XD

[@SalveMonesvol]

No, It was SEGA's second home console. First generation consoles were mostly magnavox oddyssey colnes, with the only games being variation of pong. Second genatation consoles were more varied, but the most memorable one was the Atari 2600.

[@jameseyk1]

the happiest 10 mins of my day (i'm in work today!).many thanks great vid, can anyone tell me what game is 9:28-9:34 though?

[@DRock7977]

@frenchfrey65 Thank God u mentioned that name i remembered just by that picture that i played the game but had no idea what it was.

[@TheBearSpiceKitchen]

7:28 ? I loved this game but cannot remember the name.

[@bahamutdragons]

I was thinking the same thing. It's because Nintendo pushed to have a lot of exclusive games from third party (by contract, games couldn't appear on other consoles) whereas Sega pushed their own games out.

[@thewerrett]

Hey :) That game is ' Heroes Of The Lance '

[@Rokstar1983]

@Fernando86053 I think it's R-Type

[@RetroSanctuary]

read the list

[@jimbobjimminy]

Underrated console right here

[@samblah]

Miss these days of gaming :(
