Master System Longplay [121] Streets of Rage

[@davelazenby77255]

lol, i still have my copy of this on MS, it was my childhood. I played it too death. the rich kid down the road had it on mega drive, but i was happy with this and I played it through to the end. One of my all time fav games.

[@MinbadTheFourth]

SEGA did a really good job porting the game to its own consoles. From the Megadrive to the Master System and Game Gear. Really good ports. If you couldn't afford a MD back then and you only get your hands on the MS, or wanted a portable experience on GG, they really gave you something for your money. Thank you, SEGA! :)

Pra um cara fã de Master System como eu rola lágrimas ao ver isso❤muitas lembranças e memórias.

[@andersonalixandrino792]

Toda simplicidade e diversão desse game de 8 bits que marcou minha infância... pura nostalgia anos 90.

[@Azel954]

The backgrounds look excellent in this game. The music is great too - clearly a lot of care was put into this port.

[@andyukmonkey]

Whoever made this version did a really good job.

[@KanalKlub]

With sure! This game is very good.

[@Azel954]

The game is really good. Definitely one of the best 8-Bit beat em ups.

[@pabloignacioscaletta]

But how can you do the special attack?

[@glynnparry4495]

Cant even begin to say how i feel watching this. So beautiful. And the music on stage 8!! so good. Sega Memories are forever!

[@CornishCreamtea07]

It could be the nostalgia but I really love the SMS sound chip.

[@swordghoti]

+CornishCreamtea07 If you had a Master System it divides the camps like marmite, depending on if they got theirs chipped for FM sound. I like the tinny whistle version myself, Shadow of the Beast sounds amazing on it.

[@steved8193]

It's amazing here. I actually think the Stage 8 music sounds better here than on the MD.

Everybody forgets about the elderly dwarf with the rocket launcher backpack. He never made a comeback in any of the sequels or the remake, truly a great loss...

[@chadwolfius3620]

Tell me about it. I thought I was only one who thought that a dwarf with a cannon behind it's back would make for an interesting beat-em-up type enemy.

I LOVED it, I think "Streets Of Rage 2" on the Sega Mega Drive was the BEST of the Trilogy !! Just around 1992 or 1993 I used to play it almost PERMANENTLY !!! 😁😁😁👏👏👏

True the second and third game...

[@KenMasters.]

What?! They're both equal!

[@axelfoley20]

I'm VERY impressed. This game is so faithful to the original 16 bit Genesis version. All stages appear and the graphics are beautiful for 8 bit. You can see that it's really pushing the limits of the hardware. I see some flicker here and there but still looks very impressive. Music is excellent too.

[@dynamixdj9506]

The soundtrack to level 4 is perhaps one of the catchiest 8 bit songs I think i've ever heard!

[@GenNuki]

That's because it's a remix of Slow Moon from SOR2. And you know that everyone loves that soundtrack so much more!

[@kwkfortythree39]

@@GenNuki slow moon itself is a remix of 4th stage's music of SOR1

You can ply it on game gear with some addon :D

[@Automatik234]

Late Master System ports do really fascinate me!

[@swordghoti]

+Automatik the system got a second wind after megadrive ports got scaled down for release. I had one at this time, and held off getting a 16bit system until 1993 purely because of these releases. Prince of Persia, Lemmings, Alien 3, Pacmania, there were loads of excellent games back then between 91-92.

[@carljr17]

While this port certainly has great visuals and audio (thanks to Yuzo Koshiro), the two-enemy limit is pretty pathetic for a beat 'em up (even the Game Gear version has 3); also, the enemy AI is equally pathetic: just jump, kick, and repeat until end of game. No strategy required here. :-(

[@matthewandrews4448]

[@gasparyangahijo]

[@davarosmith1334]

It sure did , my friend had it as I had the mega drive version. He used to say that there isn't much difference between the two games apart from the mega drive version being two player.

[@bl00derly]

what kind of sound effects is that ? :D Those animations, i didn't know the master system can do that. It's incredible. The music is great too. What's this, a new boss ? omg

[@jonasthiel6420]

awesome music for 8-Bit

[@KaibunTheGreat]

Well, I certainly had fun with this game back in the day. Having the start button right on the top of the console made calling the police really annoying, tho.

[@bishop19911992]

[@jaggedj2510]

NES could NEVER produce a game like this.

[@pollyisagoodbird]

Wow, this is an impressive port. Not sure why Sega downsized a lot of their Genesis games for Master System, but many of them are pretty solid for what they are.

[@glynnparry4495]

Huh? downsized? lol they didnt downsize. The games began on the sega sys first, then went onto the genesis after that.

​@glynnparry4495 Streets Of Rage was designed for the Genesis, specifically to show off the capabilities of the system and, crucially, to compete with the SNES port of Final Fight which didn't offer 2 player mode. The SMS version came later.

[@swordghoti]

Cracking effort at an 8bit SoR title. This is a 2 meg cartridge, SoR 2 on the Megadrive is a 16 meg cartridge, just to emphasize just how well the coders did here. Even the graphics and sound stay faithful. I had this when it came out, was still in school, loved it. Hard to complete though, those bitches on the boat were the worst.

[@swordghoti]

This game hauls ass for 8 bit.

[@steved8193]

If it's 4Mb is that half the size of a floppy disk for the whole game (1MB, 8 bits in a Byte)?

[@GuillotineLaw1]

I wonder why the megadrive version did away with the level 6 boss and just made it a pallet swap of the level 2 boss.

[@SEGAtendo1989]

megadrive version was released in 1991 master system version was released in 1993 my guess would be the coders had some extra time after porting it over to add a new boss in

[@TheKiller92272]

Multiplayer was removed in the sega master system version on Streets of rage

[@davarosmith1334]

I had the mega drive version of this , I got the master system converter off eBay and bought a load of master system games. I would have been happy back then with a master system. I remember having a zx spectrum before I got a mega drive , my friend got a master system for Christmas the same year I got my Mega drive. Anyway he was happy as a pig in shit and so was I with my mega drive.

[@bobtheshorkie1987]

Gamers would have lost their shit over this if it had been released in its own right, pre MD/Genesis.

[@jamyskis]

Makes me laugh when people whinge on about last-gen ports being "crippled" just because of some frame rate drops and a lower resolution. How spoiled and entitled people are nowadays. All things considered, this wasn't a terrible late-day last-gen port back in the day. It's missing two-player mode, parallax scrolling, the awesome soundtrack, the more fluid and versatile fighting system, but it's about what the game would have been had it been developed from the ground up for the Master System. It got savaged by the gaming press in 1993, but it's important to consider that the performance gulf between the Master System and Mega Drive was massive.

[@tippycanoe99]

I didn't know that Streets of Rage was originally a Sega Master System release. I was spoiled with the Sega Genesis/ CD versions.

[@Ev3rm00n]

The Genesis version came first. It was then ported to the Master System.

Is this the gamegear version??

[@YanaTV730]

日本語でコメントしますが、日本国内ではゲームギア版「ベア・ナックル(Bare Knackle)」としてリリースされたものですね。 明らかに音に至っては「Master System」とあっても、日本国内向け機種で見ればセガマークIII(以下マークIIIと略す)相当の機種のためにFM音源がないことと、日本国内では既にリリース時点でメガドライブことGENESIS向けとしてリリースされています。 他の機種で見たらゲームギアにもリリースされており、ゲームギア版とまったく同じ音がする海外版「ベア・ナックル」のセガマークIII版、として見させていただきました。 …ただこの時点でのセガのPSGドライバの出来が悪いのだろうか、或いはTI SN76489の仕様なのだろうか、GI AY-3-8910のようなシャーというようなホワイトノイズが出ないのが原因してパーカッションのノイズの音がかなりローファイに聞こえる。…ホワイトノイズが綺麗に出ればまだパーカッションの音も綺麗に聞かせられたのだが、セガマークIII時代のゲームの音の悪い原因だろうか。

[@pabloignacioscaletta]

How can you do the special attack if there are only two action buttons besides the directional buttons?

[@shenglongisback4688]

The start button unfortunely is on console🤦‍♂️ SEEEEGA🤣

[@pabloignacioscaletta]

The question answered itself: I looked for digitalised manuals and I found one where it says that you need to pause and press attack to activate the special.

[@Koexistence13]

Not two player co op i assume? Only 3 sprites on the screen max at a time. Double Dragon tried to be more on the sms and it was flicker city

[@eds2011]

But the mechanics of the Double dragon is very bad. The system collision inexist and the gameplay is very poor.

[@felipevidal3825]

Sega must've made this after the creation of SOR 2, because Stage 3 sounds like Back To The Industry from it. Either that, or Yuzo took inspiration from the MS port! The Last Soul sounds pretty good here too.
