Their Double Dragon was far superior to the NES version and is definitely worth playing. Zillion was good, and the Wonder Boy series was excellent. Alex Kidd in Miracle world was great but all of the subsequent Alex Kidd games on SMS were pretty weak (although Alex Kidd in Shinobi World was at least amusing in its bizarreness). Speaking of which, Shinobi was a great game as well. Golden Axe Warrior and Phantasy Star go without saying... especially Phantasy Star - that game is solid gold. I also liked Rambo - it was sort of a Commando Clone, and was a lot of fun (don't confuse this with Rambo III which was a light gun game). Spellcaster was a really interesting RPG/Action hybrid game, but I doubt they'll put it on the Virtual Console. The Master System was my first Console, so I have a lot of love for that machine. Of course, I still have a working SMS, so I don't think I'll need to do the Virtual Console thing...

The first one, I believe, is fairly similar in its play mechanics. In the U.S. the game was only sold by order though.

Of course, most of MS games were downgraded ports of arcade games and now with the emulation you can play the arcade version easily... Fantasy zone is good but there is the arcade version and Fist of the North Star is GREAT!

I guess Zillion is okay. I can’t really think of anything amazing on Master System. I guess Zillion is okay.
