Master System Longplay [146] Star Wars

[@alysonhenrique2924]

For more than 20 years, I have bemn searching for this game. Master System was the first one I ever had as a kid, and I remember playing this game at the age of 5. The only thing I remembered were the graphics and nothing else, and now I find out that it was a Star Wars game all long? LOL

[@DragonPop64]

This is the superior port of these 8 bit game, hands down

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

Ironically, TIERTEX of all people were behind this port!

[@pferreira1983]

A little frustrating at times but I love this game. I think the Master System was the best version.

[@Vain737]

Man, some of these tracks are absolute bangers.

[@kramalerav]

That’s really pushing it.

[@Robotron2084psn]

wtf..i was all about sega in the 80s and i never knew this existed for the master system...this looks really good

[@marccaselle8108]

This game never came out here in the US. Only in Europe and possibly other countries as well.

[@busydad4858]

Memories! Actually quite a faithful adaptation.

[@julesgamergourmand]

I had no luck with this game. I had finished it in jedi mode on the real console but not live or on video. The real ending is the most beautiful on Master system, when I saw it on my television I couldn't believe it.

[@KrimsonKB]

I had this game on my Game Gear! I had no idea it was also on Master System!!

When I read "US GOLD" or "TIERTEX" it's over with the good expections...

[@kramalerav]

Believe it or not, Tiertex only just closed their doors in 2021. Considering the vast majority of third-party developers from this era have long been out of business, that is astonishing.

[@geocooley1976]

I find the exit sign at 2:50 entertaining. I’m sure Vader approved of having the exits clearly marked.

[@brenthaskins1712]

The one sprite they manage make look worse than the NES version is the Sandpeople...

[@anthonybryan1961]

The master system hands down was the best 8bit console

[@Nikku4211]

Is it better than the TurboGrafx-16, though?

[@notsuoh16Bit]

Technically it was superior to the famicom, in a base hardware form, but when it comes down to dedicated bus hardware via the cartridge bus custom chips, its not that great. I'm sorry, but the famicom is a better console with more dedicated third party support that were willing to develop some amazing hardware to go with the awesome software they developed and stored on the rom chip. I still play my baby to this day.

[@notsuoh16Bit]

@@anthonybryan1961 how does that even make sense? lol. NES just had the better games. mike tyson's punch out, 2 contra games, the 3 mario games, zelda, 3 turtles games, excitebike, etc. the master system was my 2nd system i owned after Atari. my dad got me it, and i was kinda disappointed because i knew the NES was the real deal. but i found it to be pretty good, but was so glad to get an NES the next christmas, it just has the far better games

[@sandromarmelo3008]

I love this game, it's so awesome. I managed to beat it one time only, with 100% completion. Giving the fact that i was a 8 year old kid, and i had no guides of any form, i still think about the way i did it :)

[@joaodepaula]

Awesome! I just waiting for this game

[@geocooley1976]

2:42 jumps hits spike all good. But avoid the green drops!

[@opa-age]

Crazy. Never realized a game this ambitious existed on the SMS.

[@alucard624]

The graphics are a lot better in this version versus the NES one, but the music leaves something to be desired, and that's mainly due the Master System's limited sound system it had versus the NES. I do like that music that plays when you're in the Sandcrawler though versus what the NES version used.

[@ZBR_ProXP]

Maybe still graphics

[@mr.tie-rex9577]

I know they have enhanced sound chips on cartridges such as Shinobi, Rampage, etc. as much as I would like that, it would probably be expensive to have the enhanced sound chip.

[@TheMamaluigi300]

@@mr.tie-rex9577 Actually, unlike Famicom sound chips, the FM expander could be inserted into the console itself. In fact, the Japanese Master System, as an enhanced version of the original Mark III system, had it built in

Wait... I remembered that I use to make Han Solo to have infinite health. As the game was a bit hard for me, I thought that was the only way to beat it. But now I have found no reference of this feature. Does anyone konw what I am talking about? Or is my memory failing?

[@rodrigoboaventura6004]

I guess I will download an emulator just to check if this is true or I am going crazy. Maybe that was a glitch, but I have not seem it documented anywhere on internet. Strange.

OK , so .... the sega logo at the start took longer than usual to disappear & the music have a lower tune so this must be a PAL game , at first the music sounded better than the nes version then i heard the cantena (or however it's spelled , i'm bad at spelling) music & it did not have that drum channel part thingy ( there was no drums) & that was the deal breaker for me coz i cant stand a game which music dont have the drums channel that's why i dont do atari 2600

Eu até hoje lamento que Star Wars (shooter) tenha sido cancelado e nenhum titulo da franquia foi lançado pra Mega Drive ou Sega-CD (o que seria perfeito a qualidade do CD pra colocar a classica trilha sonora dos filmes).

[@adanoneto]

Meu primeiro cartucho de game kkk show

[@Retrotude]

Pretty nice graphics, but NES always wins the competition in audio. As far as I can tell the Master System can't make any sound other than square waves plus a noise channel.

[@MasterLinkuei]

+JuniorAdventurer Oh yes, NES have more channel, but in this game, i stay with the Master System sound. Cave and the Sandcrawler remix for example, are MUCH better on the SMS.

[@ostradiemgi5469]

Problem ain't the square waves, it's the limited control over them. There are plenty SID tracks that only use square waves, but the SID offers much more control. The SMS can't even do low notes.

[@jimmybiggs9230]

No sega master system can produce fm 16-bit music but for some odd reason the developers in japan chose not to allow game programmers to use the fm sound chip.

[@Doommaster1994]

Both the Master System/Game Gear and NES had a sound chip with four channels: NES had Two pulse wave channels with four different possible widths (though one of them is flipped from another) Triangle wave White and periodic noise generator DPCM channel (rarely used) SMS/GG had Three 50% width square waves White noise generator (I think it also had a periodic mode) The NES music was by Marshall Parker of Beam Software. Since Tiertex developed this, I can only guess either Mark Tait or John Hancock did the Sega arrangements. Unfortunately, the Master System/Game Gear manuals I don't believe are preserved, so I can't check it.

[@johneygd]

Waay more colorfull then the nes version, at the other hand,many cave levels don't have the right colors ,because, or it'e red against a purple background or it's red against a green background, i prfer the music from the nes version,but it's still impressive.

[@yomama9390]

I wish I had your cursed ears so i could enjoy music that bland and broken

Its almost the same music except for the cave nes cave goes through a melody change. Love the variant but very similar colors graphics and music

[@MxMoondoggie]

Really good game that doesn't get enough attention from retro reviewers. Mostly because they are American and have a collective butt fetish for Nintendo so can't ever admit to enjoying a Sega game that isn't also on a Nintendo console like Sonic.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

You could've ended your comment at "American" and that would've been enough, as that explains why this version doesn't get as much attention, but no. You just had to go on a condescending and vulgar rant about their Nintendo preferences. Them being American would explain that they are simply not aware of this version. Also, don't act like you know what the reviewers' thought process is. You aren't them. And not everyone is you.

[@Doommaster1994]

In addition, this game was released on the NES (which I believe is the original version). Silent Rob and filmnstuff praised the game.

I didnt like the Super Star Wars games. Better graphics and sound, sure. But the games were rediculously difficult, and i like hard difficulty settings on games, but it broke the games. Super Star Wars is just not balanced well. They throw all this shit at you and its not even fun. The games suck.

[@imfsresidentotaku9699]

Words cannot describe how very wrong you are. No, the difficulty of the Super Star Wars games does not break them. There is definitely a frustration factor, but there's a balance between frustration and fun. Those games are mostly fun. They can be annoying, but they're annoying enough that people still want to keep playing them. If the game throws a bunch of shit at you, just keep calm, assess the situation, think ahead, tread carefully, and you'll make it through, even if it takes a couple of tries. But after all, these games, like a lot of games at the time, are trial and error. Bottom line, the Super Star Wars games most definitely do not suck. And this video isn't even about those games, so your little hot take is completely shoehorned.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

@@imfsresidentotaku9699 As someone who does think the Super trilogy is good, those games absolutely 100% toss unavoidable shit in your face every waking moment and bandaids that with a million small health pickups.
