I'd like to read that article about how WonderBoy and Adventure Island spread to different systems and became different franchises. I collected SMS in the USA in the late 90s and it was really a challenge to find stuff in the wild even then just 6-7 years after it was an active system. I bought pretty much any game I could whether it seemed good or not. Playing Missile Defense 3D with the gun actually still seemed pretty advanced in the late 90s. It was kind of a miracle I was able to find the glasses and that game.

I've never used the 3D Glasses but I did used to own the light gun. I remember playing Operation Wolf and Space Gun quite a lot. I brought T2:The Arcade Game on the SMS thinking it would work with the gun but unfortunately it didn't! Its still quite easy to find Sega Stuff over hear. If you go to a Retro Games shop in the UK your usually find Master System, Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast Games. Mega CD, Game Gear and 32X can be harder to find but you still see them now and then. As for the WonderBoy / Adventure Island situation, Weststone, the Developer basically sold the rights to two different publishers. Sega for the Arcade and Sega Console Versions under the Wonderboy name and hudson soft for the Nintendo Versions under the Adventure Island name.

The MS was definitely a better system than the NES. It's too bad that it didn't have the popularity that Nintendo enjoyed.
@The_Gaming_Bristolian3 ай бұрын
Yeah, I've always preferred the MS over the NES. I find MS games often look a little better than NES games. If you look at some of the later MS games like Sonic, Ecco, Street of Rage, Road Rash, Mortal Kombat and Desert Strike very look extremely impressive for 8-bit games, almost 16-bit Level at times.

I hate when people manhandle old books. There is a reason it's still in relatively decent condition after all these years. Books like these will never be printed again, u don't have to baby it, but have some pride in being it's care taker. 20yrs from now some young adult will buy that from u trying to understand how kids got by with such rudimentary entertainment

These kinds of books are often released about old game systems here in Japan. Unfortunately, they lack the wit and sensibilities of British authors😂

That’s great! Good for you buddy 😊 Personally i find it difficult to predict what’s going to work and what isn’t. It’s not the best of advice but all id say is do it how you want to do it, have fun, and you’ll make some great YT mates n connections. Have a fab weekend.
