I never thought I’d find a site like this, dedicated to what was probably the most under-rated system with the best games ever… Wonderboy 3… Phantasy Star… Alex Kidd… Operation Wolf… The Ninja… The Lucky Dime Caper… the list is endless
Okay, when clicking on “Ghouls and Ghosts” I see this:

Comments: My little 12 year old sister used to pull down her pants and flash her panty covered ass at me while I played this game. Therefore this most be the only video game I ever played with a Hard-On.”
I’m strongly biased against Sega, but I make exceptions for Master System. It was plainly the first system I played. I knew SMS even before I knew Atari.
With the exception of Phantasy Star (see PSO), it’s a shame none of those games ever got proper re-makes- I mean, imagine Wonderboy 3 re-made in an Ocarina of Time like engine for the Dreamcast or the GCN… I honestly think that would rule so much it’s unbeliveable
SMS was a huge under-rated system. My father and uncle used to sit playing Phantasy Star at hours on end and make numberous calls for help. They claim that they used to face my highchair towards the TV so that I could watch them play. I remember very little of it, but for some reason, before I played it for myself in 95, I remembered those dungeons and how they were in FPV. Strange what you remember when you were two or three.
Long live the Master System! (and bring some more Ys games to us).
I personally didn’t care that much for the SMS. Sure, it had a ton of great games, but since Sega is primarily staffed with pot-smoking Japanese hippies, their games turned out even more bizzare and unworldly than the ones on the NES.
