Action Fighter

2001-03-09
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: This was a great game for its time. Definately not one of my favourites but it was revolutionary as it gave everyone the first taste of something different in the one game. wether you are a car cycle or plane the action stays hot and the mission the same. To kill or be killed! This game deserves seven alex's

My Hero

2001-03-09
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: Well Since I am trying to become the websites official Sega game tester and reviewer I decided to play this old gem for the first time today. I was warned about tis stupididty in the past and worried i was gonna waste my time..... I was joyfully mistaken! This game is actualy quite good especialy for its age and despite its simple graphics and commical cartoonish plot the game is very addictive. Basicly you have to get as far as you can before losing your lives and like in space harrier the further you travel the more points you accumulate. You gotta punch, Kick and dodge your way around lots of different badguys and the challenge is they come in both directions in this side scroller so one wrong move and you are cornered. Anyway despite what anyone says the constant action and strategy element in quickly deciding what you have to do next keeps this game very fresh and I am proud to give it eight alex's. I would give it more but hey the perfect game has to be a one in a million!

Battle Out Run

2001-03-09
From: Rick lappeman
Comments: Well I plugged this game in for the first time when I was nine and a quick warning you will get a rush of blood! This is a superb game which took the beat the clock idea one step further. Beat the clock by taking out your opponent at the same time! The object of Battle outrun is one by one travel all over the different american states and rival the biggest hotrod in the state. In each level he speeds away from you and your job is too catch up, gain powerups for your vehicle and then finaly rear end him until his car is no longer running before the clock reaches zero. This is not an easy game and the challenge will keep you playing for awhile. The Music is great, the game is great but the graphics dissapoint me a little. Despite that for a solid racer I would probably pic this over the original outrun and Chase Hq but Hang on is still the best!

Comments: This is a great game proving you can have quality without quantity. I played this game when i was ten years old and being almost twenty one now I still appreciate the fun and difficuly this shooter provided for me. I would consider this at least try once type of game

Comments: A great conversion of a classic game but unfortunately not one with much lastability as some old games still have. Good to play if you have a spare 20 minutes

Double Dragon

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: Well this was the first double Dragon i Played and I loved it. I played it for the first time at 8 and now at 20 I still do. The nintendo Version was very good but lacked the essence the original sega master system plot had so If you like Nintendo's Double Dragon you may love Sega Master systems. The only downside is that this game is far too short!

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: I find it funny that one of the built in games for sega could possibly rank in its top ten best games ever. A great platformer that will keep you interested for a long time even today

After Burner

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: Not Bad I guess but there are better games. I still think space harrier is sega's best shooter of all time but this one is ok if you can get past the wierd handeling. Very pretty to look at though and the scenery changes in every advancing level are great to look at.

Casino Games

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: Well for its capability's you couldn't possibly ask for a better casino game on sega master system. Definately play this one even if its for old times sake. The computer intellegence may surprise you as this game has a well calculated difficuly all depending on which computer opponent you pick to play with.

Castle of Illusion

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: When I was a kid I was hesitent to play this, because we all know mickey mouse is a damn pussy. I got a nice surprise though as its a real fun platform game that will keep you busy with many original and pleasent to look at themes. Although I still find Mickey Mouse is a pussy you should get this game its good..........but not great.

Comments: I cant give this game better than average because there are better versions and quite frankly although its one i played alot its pretty dull, but since i play it alot it must be addictive so it cant be that bad afterall can it?

Comments: Average fist person target side scrolling shooter which can be fun at times but is way to repetitive. I would not download this there are way better games.

Ghouls and Ghosts

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: I dont like it. This is too much of a repeat if you ask me. The first Version Ghosts and Goblins was a great game but this is too much of the same thing. No originality whatsoever, but if you havent played the first one you will like it i guess

Golden Axe

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: This would always be a good game despite what system it is on, but there is always something missing from it and in my opinion the Arcade version is the only true classic, but anyway its a good medieval beat em up, but by no means great, because i used to like the blood and permanent dead bodies that lied around in the arcade version. All of that is missing on every console conversion.

Comments: Some may argue this is a zelda clone......well that is not the case. It may lack a little originality but has great depth and enjoyment for an older game. A must download because it will keep you busy for a long time and to be quite honest i loved the music too.

Hang On (Card)

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: The graphics are poor, the game is fustratingly hard.......But still loads of fun. if you can look past that you must get this as it was one of the best outrunner vehicle racers of its time. Still in some arcades today because its that much of a hit!

Comments: This game is alright and it is a good movie conversion but for some reason nothing about it ever appealed to me apart from the train level, but i guess this game aint to bad.

Comments: I played this game once but i wont again, the graphics were on par, but the plot was lame and it appeared far to repetitive to pick up again, a waste of a potentialy good title.

Comments: Something about Roleplaying action games like this doesn't appeal to me......sorry to be the usual difficult hard reviewer but its important to seperate the good from the bad and this is definately bad...its down right boring!

Out Run

Comments: As far as im concerned the classic version was the arcade one. This one is a fairly poor effort and F1 racer or Hang on is definately better beat the clock games to play......sorry!

Comments: This game had some of the best graphics on this system ever...a great remote control car racing game even today but unfortunately far too short and easy to complete. Im afraid NES's R. C. Pro Am still dominates this Genre

Secret Commando

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: This Game is great and could definately be put next to Ikari Warriors and Commando as the best game of its type. The only thing this game losses marks for is its lack of originality but its loads of fun so get it and get it now!

Space Harrier

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: This is probaby one of my favourite games ever. All the levels are colourful with a great and original boss at the end of each one and the difficultly level makes this game very rewarding to finish. You must play this as this is what sega is all about!!!

Space Harrier 3-D

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: This is a great game... Infact the game itself could of even been better than the above original classic, but alas the pointless 3d requirement ruins it! but still if you have the glasses this game could be better than the original.

Speedball 2

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: This game is almost based on Rollerball, that violent movie with james Kahn. The object is to throw balls into the goal area to win games just like soccer...but if your opponent has the ball beat the crap out of him to get it back. Basicly the last team standing wins and its what makes this game so bloody good!

From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: Warning this game is shit. there are only five levels and all you do is run across a side scrolling screen in each one and try to catch that damn mouse before he reaches the end of the level before you. It may sound fun but you aint even really doing anything in this crap!

Comments: I loved this game when i played it as a kid...but when i finished this beat em up in under a day i threw the cartridge on the ground in disgust and jumped up and down on it. This game had potential with great end of level baddies but its nothing more than a dried up turd!

Wonder Boy in Monster Land

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: I have finished this game over and over and over and over because i love it so much. This is definately one of sega's best games ever along with Space Harrier. A great platformer with some wicked roleplaying elements thrown in. All the bosses are great new and challenging Infact I cant say a thing bad about this game its absolutely perfect and i wish it never ended!

Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap

2001-03-03
From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: I didn't think a pure RPG of wonderboy could work but it does and it does very well. With great platform elements involved this game is a great challenge with lots of neat surprises and great morphs to get your hands on but despite this you have to look at the facts and realise that Wonderboy in Monsterland is clearly better.

From: Rick Lappeman
Comments: A great outrunner game. Its a lot of fun to keep your scores and track records but only download this if you have an emulator and you can save your progress, its a waste otherwise. I cant give this game good marks because on sega it had no save feature and when you had no scores to beat there was no point in comming back.

Comments: This is a great game, a good mix of action and roleplaying in the one package. YOu are a young new age monk serving your sensei to bring good back into the world. Unoriginal in plot but a very good game you should all play, cast spells, fight bosses, interact with townfolk its near perfect!
