Sega Master System

HI HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW MANY GAMES THE SEGA MASTER SYSTEM HAS MADE? WELL THERE IS SO MANY IT WOULD MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN.FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING SEGA MASTER GAMES.WORLDWIDE,THERE ARE SO MANY THAT WE HERE IN THE U.S. DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO BUY GOOD GAMES LIKE.NINJA GAIDEN,THEIR VERSION IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM NINTENDOS,SONIC CHAOS,ULTIMA 4,MASTER OF DARKNESS,{THIS ONE IS A CASTLEVANIA WANNABE} IT'S GOOD.DANAN THE JUNGLE FIGHTER,AND THE FLASH.THERE ARE OVER 150+ GAMES THAT I HAVE SEEN.THE COOL THING IS,THERE IS NO REGION CODE SO IT WILL PLAY ON OUR NTSC SYSTEM.THERE ARE A HANDFULL THAT WILL NOT PLAY LIKE BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 3.THE MOST RARE GAME IN THE US IS SONIC.IT HAS GONE FOR $200+ THE LAST TIME IT WAS ON EBAY.I BOUGHT THE UK VERSION JUST TO HAVE IT MUCH CHEAPER THAT WAY,ABOUT $10.THE MOST RARE GAME OF ALL TIME THAT I HAVE SEE IS LES SCHTROUMPFS AUTOUR DU MONDE - SMURFS 2,PRICED AT $400 TO $500 WOW! SEARCH ON EBAY IF YOU ARE A SEGA MASTER FAN FOR SOME GREAT GAMES.

In my opinion, this is the best system that was ever made. This was the very first console I ever owned and, to this day, is still my favorite. The graphics/hardware was amazing for it's time. Way better then what any Nintendo system had to offer. This system has had so many classics that are must-have games. Any Alex Kidd game (Alex Kidd in High Tech World and Alex Kidd in Shinobi World are my favorites), Shinobi, Altered Beast, Out Run, Gangster Town, Shooting Gallery, Golden Axe Warrior (one of the best RPG's this system had to offer), After Burner, Chop Lifter, Zaxxon 3-D, Maze Hunter 3-D, Space Harrier, and the list goes on and on. For all those people out there, from the casual gamer to the experienced gamer to those who just collect games, you owe it to yourself, if you don't own this console or have never played it, to buy it and experience one of the greatest underdog systems out there. The only reason this system did not beat out Nintendo was because of marketing. Sega had an extremely poor marketing campaign for all of their system which is why none of them could beat out the competition. It's sad really because Sega could have been way bigger then it was.

This is the system that came out about the same time as the NES. (Mid 80's). If this system would have had the proper advertising, it would have given the NES a run for it's money. But as Sega is known for, it has some of the best hardware out there ala the Dreamcast, the Saturn, but the promotional efforts for the systems never seems to hit the mark with consumers. Also, when the Master System was first introduced in the 80's, Sega wouldn't allow any third-party manufacturing of games for their system. It wasn't until the overwhelming success of the NES and it's third-party barrage of games from SNK and Capcom to name a couple, that Sega allowed third-party production for the Master System. But by then it was too late, the NES had cornered the market for 8-bit systems. The sad thing is, the Master System was a superior piece of hardware, and had some REALLY great games. Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd, Space Harrier and Out Run are the first titles to come to mind. Any self-respecting vintage gamer owes it to theirself to try these games out. You won't be dissappointed I assure you!

I purchased the Sega Master System game console a few weeks ago because it was a childhood favorite. In fact, it was the first system I ever had and I gave it to my younger sister. To me, this is the best system ever. How can anyone pass up the console responsible for classic games such as Altered Beast, OutRun, Space Harrier, and Phantasy Star?! It was far more superior than the Nintendo, but unfortunately the NES was available in the market first so the SMS lost credibility. But to those who have ever owned one, they know the truth. The know the magic, they know the glory that is the Sega Master Sytem. Okay, so the pause button is on the system and not the controller, but think of it as a challenge. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a classic game console. It will NOT be a disapointment.

My girlfriend bought this system and enjoys it a lot. She plays it everyday even though we have some of the newer systems. It doesn't matter when it came out, because it still provides a lot of joy. It doesn't have loading time, or horrible cartridges that don't work after awhile. It's a really good system.

I actively collect all of the components of this system and everything is available for so cheap. There are so many fun games and a multitude of titles out for this unit. Classic titles and classic gaming at its best.

This gift is really for my wife. She had it when she was a kid. She really enjoys it. It brought back a lot of good memorizes for her. Thank you for taking the time out to ask me how i liked the console.

Even though sega vs nes years are over and even the fact that Sega was always a step behind the video games market share in the USA and Mexico SEGA's legacy is the best. Starting with the master system. Damn!!! old school good games? these are the best. Original games like Zillion, first ever RPG game Phantasy star, packed action in fantasy zone I and II, shinobi, ninja gaiden, altered beast, aladin, sonic games (chaos in particular), adventure games like the wonder boy series, race vs time in outrun, hang on, etc, etc. My personal opinion nes had really good games, some match the fun and quality of the master system like super mario 3, narc, TMNT II, double dragon II, contra series, bad dudes, and afew others but... Sega is Sega.

IT'S AMAZING! I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. EVERYTIME HE PLAYS IT IT NEVER GIVES HIM A PROBLEM. HE HAS OTHER GAMES FOR IT AND THEY ALL WORK TOO.

I bought this item because I had only just heard of the sega master system eairlier this summer when i had bought a box of old magazines at a yardsale. I love the way the system looks and the games that I got with it, but I dont like is my knowledge on what the system has for games.

pretty good condition for how old it is! Didnt come with cords and all that but the controllers are almost new looking and feel pretty good. Im diggin it! Retro games for the win!

The Sega Master System (SMS) was the machine that most closely gave the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) a run for its money. Despite having superior hardware capabilities the SMS fell short due to software liscencing contracts held by Nintendo. Due to this, most of the software available on the SMS were mostly by Sega. Not that this was such a bad thing, mind you, as Sega had a pretty strong library of arcade hits that were then transfered to its home console. With the inclusion of excellent periferals, such as the light gun and 3D glasses, Sega added much depth, and new experiences to many already strong titles. The 3D glasses worked rather well, with quite a few software titles that supported it. Personally, I prefer the SMS over NES, for the quality of software over quantity. Its an excellent addition to any videogame collection, with many great items still readily available.

The Sega Master System is a great gaming console. It looks cool and has many good games, including a lot of great arcade ports like After Burner and Space Harrier. The system is slick looking, and has some great hardware, including sweat 3D glasses that were way ahead of their time. The hardware is much more reliable then the NES and the games usually look better. The game cases are sturdy, the controls are OK (but if you want you can use the Genesis controller).
All in all, the system is one of Sega's Finest, it never got the recognition it deserved.

brings back the old days childrens gaming not like the games of today and is geared towards girls as well as boys unlike todays games i love it and so does my grand daughter who is 5 these are her games

Where do I start? Since I did not have any SMS controllers, I couldn't play the Hang On game. I tried my Sega Genesis controller, but that didn't work. I tried the Light Phaser with the Safari Hunt game, but that didn't work either. (Remember the Light Phaser was faulty many times and I was playing with a 10-year-old TV. Plus, you mixed up the AV cables. (White's audio, yellow's video, not vise-versa.) Even though the system works alright, you could have done better, no offense. You could have thrown in a controller and maybe one or two extra games. Overall, it was a good deal, but not the best.

hi received the games today and it brought back some good memories.thanks again and i would buy from you any time.everything worked out great.everything i received quickly,games are great,packaging was excellent.thanks shane

The Sega Master System is better than I remember. As a child I had one and a recent dream reminded me of all the fun my friends & I had playing the wide variety of games on one of the original video game systems. It is every thing I remember and more. eBay was the best place to find one at a great price with a a lot of extras... Hope you find a Sega Master system for your self and enjoy it for years to come.

SMS kills the nes. Somewhere between 2 and 3 words my friends: Segascope 3-D. Wait and pay more to get a system packaged with them (the glasses alone go for $35-150). But they work. Gloriously. Want to play a 3 dimensional light gun game? Not going to happen on your Atari/Intellivision/Colecovision/NES/Genesis/Super NES/TG-16/PS1/Saturn/3DO/Jaguar/N64/Xbox/PS2/Xbox360/PS3/Wii.

Only here: Missile Defense 3D on the Sega Master System. And you'll look cool doing it. Seriously, look it up. A pair or two are probably on sale right now. Yes, it actually works. Yes, the screen is still in color. Make sure to get the early system configuration with the card slot as that is what the glasses connect through.

Sega's phaser is the most accurate light gun ever made (gun con is overrated, wii-mote requires an on-screen target which, let's face it, is cheating). Colors are bright and pleasing even in a modern console sense. Cartridges don't require annoying load times.

I play this more than any other system. And I own them all.

Great Seller... Shipped really quickly!! And Sega Master System works perfectly with all of the games he included!

The Sega Master System video game console is as cool today as it was when it was released in the U.S. in June 1986. It is the only system able to play the prized Phantasy Star RPG video game. The system feels solid, not cheap. The controllers hold up extremely well. It displays better graphics than any of it's 8-bit gaming peers.

The video game catalog is great but not as large as that of the main competing system of the time. Great games include:
Phantasy Star
R-Type
Ultima IV
Castle Of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Wonder Boy In The Dragon's Trap
Transbot
Lord Of The Sword
Ghost House
Golvelius
There are a lot more great games, anything with the word "Illusion" in it, all the Wonder Boy games and Alex Kidd games, the pack-in games Hang-On and Safari Hunt are fun, Fantasy Zone, Kenseiden, Y's and Zillion are all good.

The SMS had one main competitor, the Nintendo Entertainment System. Let's compare:
The SMS has a faster processor, (3.58 MHz vs. 1.79MHz).
The SMS has a much larger color pallet and offers more colors on screen at any one time (52 vs. 24 colors at one time).
The NES had a much larger game library.
The SMS has the RF output, just like the NES, but it also has an A/V output to connect to the RCA jacks on your TV. This greatly improves image quality.
I've owned both the NES and SMS and blowing on cartridges was necessary at lot less with the SMS.
Any Sega Master System game cartridge or game card can be played on any Sega Master System game console regardless of region. There are no "regions" for this system and its' games.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Because of its' quality and because it did not sell as much as the NES, the Sega Master System has enjoyed strong resell value. The Sega Master System has the best graphics. Over 250 games were released in the USA but more can be played from other countries. The SMS is the ONLY game console in the USA that can play Phantasy Star. Great reliable system, controllers don't feel cheap, many fantastic games available on ebay, half.com and Amazon. Great system for kids as none of the games are as bloody or violent as todays games and the game cartridges hold up better than disks do.

I could write a review on the console and why it should remain a favorite in every gamers collection, but if you don't know why then I recommend people to look into retro gaming more often. I bought this item for a few reasons, but the main focus was the condition. It was complete with the original packaging, the system was stated to work and when it arrived it was like taking a trip down memory lane. Now my kids can do the same as they grow up be able to play the same titles I did in my era on a controller it was meant to be played with.
