Sega Master System - Point me in the right direction.

The PBC works perfect, looks great and if you already have quality video ouput from your Genesis, it saves having to find a separate solution for a SMS system. Technically the color is supposed to be a bit off, but from what I've seen, it's only the difference between different models of the same hardware (like how model 1 and 2 Genesis systems look different).

Isn't there an issue with the 3D glasses and the PBC?

IIRC there was a second version of the PBC with no card slot in PAL regions and/or Brazil - the regular U.S. version should work fine with 3D.

You guys rock it!

THANKS!

and the fact that I still can't believe they localized it.

yeah, but they couldn't just leave his stylish hakama he's wearing in the japanese version, because that sure would have been too much of gh3y in the west.
instead he wears those even more gh3y tight pants.

also the japanese versions are based on the 80s famous manga/anime serie "kujaku oh".

Interesting. I hadn't actually noticed that.

I had ignored the Master System for many, many years.

After finally getting my hands on one I was very surprised by the amount of quality software for it.

The controller is kind of garbage, though, I hate the shape and feel of its directional pad.  I'd go with a modded (or butchered, in my case) Genesis controller.

It's a good system to have

[VenomMacbeth]

Sonic The Hedgehog 1 and 2
Sagaia (better than R-Type, IMHO)
Ninja Gaiden
Fire & Forget II
Power Strike 1 and 2
Kenseiden

Also, if you can find a repro of GG Aleste II for the SMS (I believe they sell them at windygaming.com) then it's an absolute must-own for the system. 

[esadajr]

alex kidd in miracle world
wonder boy series
sonic (first one is a must have for the system)

The Sonic games are pretty good, especially Sonic 1 and Chaos. And not too expensive to import from the UK.

[VenomMacbeth]

I almost forgot, Master of Darkness!  A really atmospheric 'Vania clone.  The music can get a little repetitive, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoy it.  It's a hell of a lot less cheap than Kenseiden, too.

Anyone who ignores the master system is a tard.

Altered Beast on SMS is better than PCE.

No joke.

QUESTION . Altered Beast is better for Master System or PC engine?

PCE. I think that Golden Axe is the only bad Sega to PCE port.
