Sega Master System

My SMS doesn't have the maze game. What's up wit dat?

I think every model SMS has the maze game. Do you know the code?

[gameoverDude]

Here's the code, taken from Jeff Bogumil's SMS FAQ.

If you own an original model SMS without a built in game...
Turn on your SMS and wait for the instruction screen to appear. With
controller 1, press up and hold buttons 1 and 2.

If you own an original model SMS with a built in game...
First, hold down the sequence given above. While holding, turn the machine
on and wait.

The SMS II (and possibly late released versions of the SMS I with 2
games built-in) do not have the snail maze game.

I've also come across systems with missle defense 3D built in.
I had forgotton about Enuro Racer, I used to play that game all the time. I wouldn't buy any upgrades except for the third and eighth race. I'd get a accelerator and engine upgrade, and you could get so much air if you pulled the jumps off right. Grat ending to (not really, but very inspiratiional)

A code! I thought you just turned on the system without a cart in it and the game would appear like magic. I always got a screen saying what version of the system I had.

Kenseiden - This samurai game is often compared to Castlevania although I think it's better than any of the NES games in that series.

I'm a big Castlevania fan. Because of this thread, I picked up Kenseiden. I would have never known about this game otherwise. Thanks dude! Just thought I'd let you know.

[NeoZeedeater]

Sweet. I'm interested to know how much you like it. I think the game gets better as you progress and gain more skills.

[Frogacuda]

Kenseiden stands as one of my favorite games of the 8 bit generation. It had it all. Top-notch graphics, a killer soundtrack and gameplay that's surprisingly deep for its genre.

[Brisco Bold]

All I had to do was trade in a bunch shit games, and boom. Mine. I look forward to playing it.

[Brisco Bold]

Played it for a bit. Reminds me more of Shinobi, but I see the Castlevania influence (ie., flying eyeballs, spiders, bats and the main character's rigid movement). I like it. Next on my list: Master of Darkness.

Though, I think that one will be harder to find.

[Frogacuda]

It's not like Shinobi much at all, really. No projectiles, not much arcade feel. More focus on exploration, playing the levels in different orders.
