I'm speaking of just the Domestic lineup of SMS games, not including any Brazil games. All game libraries have their share of stinkers but I was thinking the other night about what Master System game was truly bad. None came to mind, and if there were any I probally could count them on one hand. I'm not saying they are all great and or classics that would be far from the truth. Name some bad games, I'd like to hear what you guys think are the truly bad SMS games.
All of them
(just kidding) :)
Anyways how about:
Fantasy Zone the Maze
Zillion 2
Alex Kid in Miracle World(I like Shinobi world though)
Aztec Adventure*hides from sqoon*
The problem with Zillion 2 was they took out those great puzzles, but as a 2-D platformer it was pretty sweet, too short but I wouldn't consider it bad by itself, just bad compared to part 1.

What's wrong with Miracle World that game was so diverse in terms of gameplay.Quote:

I am sure that there are really bad ones - there has to be - but SMS certainly does have a really good "good game ratio". I personally never owned a stinker. The worst game I owned was Vigilante, which I didn't like at all, but since many other people liked it so I would not call it "bad". I also didn't like AK: The Lost Stars much either. But part of that was that it was such a come down after the greatest 8 bit platformer out there - AK in Miracle World. :(
Zillion II was a similar situation, decent game but oh what a come down. :\
There are several games I tested out on Meka over the years which struck me as being definitely "not good", but since they didn't seem fun I didn't play them enough to see how bad they might have been, you know?
Miracle Warriors
Afterburner
Space Harrier
actually most of the arcade ports for SMS were pretty crappy.
But I guess it was mostly due to the hardware limitations.
Did you even play those games back in the '80s Gutsman? They're obsolete today but they were all great at the time.
Miracle Warriors was the second Japanese RPG to come out in English and while it was no Phantasy Star it was still impressive and more advanced than stuff like Dragon Warrior. In Japan, the computer original came out in 1986, the same year as Dragon Quest. Miracle Warriors deserves quite a bit of credit considering when it was made.
Space Harrier was visually beyond anything available in console gaming at the time and the gameplay was mostly intact from the arcade game.
Any of the Alex Kidd sequels, Zillion 2 (nothing like the first one), Enduro Racer (nothing like the arcade), Outrun (what a disappointment after the fantastic Space Harrier port), most of the card games (but I liked Teddy Boy).
