This is by far the most comprehensive, in-depth list of every SMS game I've ever seen. While I haven't played much of the SMS, the one game I did play (and beat) is Ninja Gaiden on there. Definitely a fun installment! A lot of games here that I want to try out myself and want to play! TC, this is easily your best video to date (it is up there with your TC Show episodes), and you can tell how much the SMS meant to you to compile this superb compendium. Excellent video man!

I beat a few of these games, Y’s, Phantasy Star, and Miracle Warriors to name just a few. That’s when I was a serious gamer… (A kid with free time!😅)
ОтветитьAmazing library analysis, I wish there was no music in background, it is annoying when overlapping with the clip music. For some games I also would have preferred the original music rather than the FM music.. but I must probably be the only one preferring it to FM!
ОтветитьWow, who would have thought aggregate scores from 40 year old magazines would have led to such irrational rankings. Desert Strike on the master system was a completely forgettable stripped down port of the Genesis version. I’ve never seen it on any top 10 lists from this century. And the original Alex Kidd is iconic but is only marginally better than Alf, both abysmal. Here are the greats, in my somewhat informed opinion (no inferior ports here):
Dragon’s Trap, Land of Illusion, Phantasy Star, Golden Axe Warrior, Master of Darkness, Psycho Fox, Alex Kidd in Shinobi World. All gold.
Great video mate. So many memories. Alex Kidd was mind blowing. I'm not sure if Australia got every one of these games. I recall playing a lot of games with the basic covers as they were often much cheaper and more readily available. Good times
ОтветитьI had to mute this guy and just watch the video for the games. It is like he is using 2015+ games as a standard and not what the games were in their time. So just here to see the all the games.
ОтветитьI can’t agree that R Type is a better game than Phantasy Star
ОтветитьDouble Dragon is waaay higher ranked than 124.
Ответитьamazing video, clearly you've put a lot of work on it! But if I can give you a suggestion, please remove the background music when playing the music/sounds of the games, because this way it's pretty painful to listen how they were overlapping all the time :D
ОтветитьPhantasy Star,Golvellius and Ghostbusters for me
ОтветитьWonderboy 3 is number 7? Buddy you and me are gonna have to have a few hits to sought this out.
ОтветитьEcco the dolphin at 12 seriously 🤮
ОтветитьHow can Alex Kidd in miracle world be above Wonderboy in monster land? Cmon pal
ОтветитьWonderboy in monster land was was way too low at 21 that definitely belongs in the top 5, have you ever played it properly and got far?
ОтветитьGhost house I totally forgot about that game.
ОтветитьStrider was awesome on the mega drive.
ОтветитьI hope Wonderboy in monster land is up there.
ОтветитьIt's Amazing how a lot SMS games look like early Genesis releases. Visually it was way ahead of the NES, the colors just popped off the screen. It's crazy to think that it was an 8 bit system. Thanks for the video. I appreciate the hard work and dedication you put behind your content. Awesome stuff.
ОтветитьI enjoyed this entire video. Your narration was good and on the whole I agreed with most of the suggestions but some feedback, the background music gets in the way of the video game music and is a constant drone.
ОтветитьThis is a great and comprehensive list. The analysis of Teddy Boy and others games are spot on. Sometimes I’ve felt you thought some games should be higher (like Black Belt) and others should be lower. But you’re following the critics grades, so it is understandable. I do think Desert Strike shouldn’t have be number one (that belongs to Phantasy Star), and only in top twenty, but it’s my opinion.
And, while I do like the game, The Last Crusade has a terrible gameplay. It shouldn’t be that high.
No way Astron Warrior is easy. No way. Your ship explodes in a first hit.
ОтветитьCritics were crazy harsh at the time! I didn't even know that games were still being made for it at the time of mortal Kombat and Jurassic Park
ОтветитьI remember, years ago, playing Hang On for so long that the score stopped being displayed as numbers and were instead displayed as characters.
ОтветитьWonderboy 3 is for me the best game ever on Sega Master System.
Good story, good game play, control is perfect, it had everything any player wanted. Really wondering why it isn't ranked number 1. 😮😮😮😮😮
Great video, really enjoyed it. But the one thing I would say is that ur choice to play an overall music thru the whole vid makes it less enjoyable, because this is a video game vid afterall so we'd like to hear each n every games shown here their original music n sound regardless of how short each game clip is shown. So I think to have another song(music) that plays during every game clip overshadowing that game's music and sound is a bad idea. Anyhoo....just my opinion...thanks again n keep up the good work.
ОтветитьAlex Kidd in Miracle World was the long magical adventure. best game I think
ОтветитьThere is like 800 game on it
ОтветитьBack to the Future III (THE Movie) isn't crap bro, your own opinions aren't facts bud. And your not funny at all
ОтветитьAlex Kidd in Miracle World was always my favorite - I would have ranked Cloud Master a bit higher. Also, Snail Maze - although a simple game still brings back some great memories. And although Astro Warrior is a quick game - I found it pretty challenging. Fun to go back down memory lane and hear the music again (esp from Parlour Games, Alex Kidd and the Lost Stars, and Quartet). Thanks for putting this together!
ОтветитьIt's too bad some of the best games on the system have technically superior versions on the Genesis. It makes it hard for anyone who didn't grow up on it to love it. Shout out to Brazil for keeping it relevant for so long. A lot of those games probably wouldn't have received ports if the Master System didn't dominate that one particular region.
ОтветитьAstro Warrior should be higher better than others ahead of it on here
ОтветитьWhy do I feel like some games are missing here? Good list
ОтветитьBack in 93 there was this store I found called Toy Liquidators they had hundreds of Master System titles for 10 dollars. I found probably about 20 titles that I would never find anywhere else because they where from Brazil. So I definitely lucked out. And I know so because I had so much trouble finding a virility of titles in normal stores back then. 🍻
ОтветитьSome of your comments on the games are laughable. 😂😂 Clearly never played most of the games yourself lol.
ОтветитьI also had a master system as a child. But all my friends had an NES. I was a bit envious of Mario and Megaman etc. and especially because I could not trade games.
ОтветитьF-16 Fighting Falcon should be the worst of the worst. Not saying Alf is a good game (it's not), but Alf is a hell of a lot better than F-16 Fighting Falcon. Literally any game is better than F-16 Fighting Falcon (which is freaking abysmal). Also, My Hero should be the 2nd worst (that game is freaking HORRIBLE. Even Alf is better than My Hero).
ОтветитьI disagree about the forgetable bit, that Snail Maze tune lives on in my head to this day, nothing can shift it (I've tried & failed)
ОтветитьWao, I can't believe that number 1. I own it and, yeah, it's a very good game.
ОтветитьLoved the Master System except for the stock controller and the stock sound chip. Phantasy Star 1 still the best 8-Bit grinder JRPG.
ОтветитьGreat video, thank you for the trip down memory lane! Just pointing out that the Olympic Gold footage shown is from the Genesis version. The MS one had only three lanes on the 100 m dash.
Ответитьhad the feeling you did not know the library and had a short opinion based on first 2 minutes/gfx of every game...
then you have the background music while playing psg game music... it was a torture to watch.... this video is useless despite all your efforts put into it.
I am terribly sorry man as i skipped that intro part, also it is clear in your title "RANKED BY THE CRITICS", even that i could not see. 🤦♂
As for the back then reviews on various magazines i believe many of them were biased.
Everything had to do with the relationship of the magazine with the gaming company (Sega or Nintendo).
There are many examples from bad games that were praised.
R-Type, Alien Syndrome, Desert Strike, King's Quest, and Shinobi were my favorites by far. My brothers and cousins all hated King's Quest, Alien Syndrome, and Desert Strike for some reason, which I never understood. Maybe because I could play them for hours and they had to wait forever for their 'turns' LOL. Anyhow, awesome list/video, brought back a lot of childhood memories for me.
ОтветитьExcellent video, a lot of work was put into this. Being a little nitpicky, the footage for Olympic Gold is from the Mega Drive version, and for Marksman/Trap Shooting is from Safari Hunt (which was part of this compilation in some regions, built-in in others). Also, hadn't realized before how many SMS games are Brazilian exclusives.
ОтветитьI forgot about some these! Great memories. Well done on the list. Interestingly, Rambo: First Blood Part 2 was released in the UK as Secret Commando. I loved it.
ОтветитьPsycho Fox 82nd ??? Out Run so low? Seriously?
ОтветитьThe Snail Game was actually awesome. Spent hours, days, months on it.
