This game is awesome; doesn't get the credit it deserves, probably because it's somewhat on the easy side. Really showed what the thing could do if the devs actually gave a fuck; I loved the little bits inspired by Super Mario World; the map with revisitable locations is a start, but they actually reproduced some very impressive (tech-wise) bits, like the shifting terrain layers and whatnot, pic related.

Plus, not everything is random rehashing of cool stuff from other games; some original concepts are pretty neat, like the auto-scroll scenes where you've got to keep pressing buttons to shift the screen back, or the very last level, where you've got to climb the moving wall and slide up and down to clear obstacles.

Man, it was so lame when the developers actually admitted they inverted the jump/hit button from the traditional mapping just to make the game feel "different than Mario"

Phantasy Star is the shit.

As weird as it is, I think the Master System has a more well rounded library than the Mega Drive. Far fewer shitty Exclusives at the very least.

I've always thought that Sega keeping the SMS alive even several years after the MD's release was cool. Nowadays, a generation of consoles pretty much instantly dies as soon as a new one gets released.

Best SMS racing game?

>> No.2771292

>>2763460
This. I'd have to go with Wonderboy 3, even over Phantasy Star, R-Type, California Games, and Kenseiden.

Most underrated SMS game is Penguin Land.
Best MD to SMS port is Road Rash.

In my opinion this is one of the most underrated games of all time.
Sure it'll pop up in top 10's for the SMS regularly, but this is such a good game I sincerely believe that it is a better game than anything on the NES.

think I'm going to have to go with golden axe warrior, WB3 is too easy to cheat (westone something, start as human, complete game in roughly 20 mins)

I nearly went with robocop vs terminator because best concept ever but it was better on megadrive/genesis.

I would say phantasy star also but its either grind for I think I calculated 3 days, or hack the money variable. for gear.

>> No.2771484

Dragon's Trap would be my favorite but Sonic The Hedgehog and Castle of Illusion SMS versions are definitively not far behind, I even love it more than 16-bit versions. Still, Wonderboy game is far more challenging, deeper or overall longer than any of SMS top platformers.
