All of the arcade ports have better versions on other systems anyway. So really you're just missing out on Flash Hiders, Kabuki Itouryudan, and uh...Strip Fighter II?Quote:

I once sold the old Frankenstein TG16+CD monstrosity (no games) for over $500 on eBay.
I wish I'd been posting when you sold your Duo R. I would have gladly taken it off your hands.
I didn't know that. That's a cool little fact. I'm really looking forward to playing these Master System games!Quote:

Good deal on the SMS, the systems have been creeping up in price lately. Thankfully the games are still cheap for the most part. When you look for games, remember that Euro region SMS games work with the system as well, as the system had a much longer life in Europe. I love the SMS version of Sonic Chaos.
I may have to dig mine out, sweet Nomi was nice enough to give it to me at a time when I couldn't have afforded one, but all I really played on it was Wonderboy in Monster Land and the Sonic games.
By the way, Genesis controllers work on the Master System. There are a few games like Monster Land that are not compatible, so it's good that you got some original controllers. I don't have a real SMS controller so I snipped a wire on a 6 button Genny pad to use with it.
Yeah, the Genesis version became Last Battle in the US. Just one of those things... but there are some great games you will really enjoy on the SMS. Rambo was actually really fun too as mentioned... it's also on the Wii Virtual Console but as the European version which didn't have the license.Quote:

It's funny now that I think about it, back in the day I wanted a Master System for the Sega arcade ports, but these days I can't really stand them since they don't hold up. Now I love a ton of games that my 9 year old self had never heard of, and probably wouldn't have given a chance if I had.
There are a lot of 'same name, different game' shenanigans going on with SMS/Genesis games. It's like NES and Gameboy.
Castle of Illusion and Ghouls'n'Ghosts are two of my favs, since they're good on both platforms, but different enough to justify playing through both versions.
