Hi, I've been thinking about the Master System a lot recently and I want to put this debate down once and for all!

The only Master System game I've played to completion is Alex Kidd in Shinobi World so Ill have to go with that one OP. It has a really fun slinging mechanic and its short and sweet, and the shinobi parodies are funny.

Crusader of Centy is to Link to the Past, as Golden Axe Warrior is to Legend of Zelda.

Ultima IV is a very good port that's much more faithful to the original than the other console ports & has some improvements from later Ultima games

(Final) Bubble Bobble is a better port than the NES version and they added 100 more levels, a shop system, etc

Ghost House is kinda fun in that black-box-NES way

there's an original SMS Ninja Gaiden that's okay, there's also a Game Gear game that loving sucks

Master of Darkness is ghetto Castlevania

Rambo/Secret Command is a cute Ikari Warriors/Commando-style game

Power Strike 1 & 2 are decent shmups from the same people that made Zanac, MUSHA, Guardian Legend, etc

My parents got my a master system when I was a kid because it was on clearance/even cost less than a used nintendo. That whole pause button on the console was lame but I do remember liking the way the controller felt more than the standard nintendo remote.

When I was a dumb kid I remember feeling totally ripped off that you spent more time as that stupid looking dragon or a mouse than wonderboy.
Didn't play PS1 until emulators were a thing but loved ps4 as a kid too. I think Wonderboy 3 holds up better than PS1, though I don't know if at the time it was as unique. Like I remember as a kid thinking it was dumb that you kept running through the same levels.

Agreed, it's just interesting that such an incredibly blatant ripoff actually turned out to be really good

I have a buttload of master system and genesis games because steam were selling all of them for like 15 cents a pop on the summer sale. Or you could pay 20 times that for one sonic game so I just skipped all the sonic games and bought a bunch of undoubtedbly assy master system JRPGs and shooters.
