Sega released the original Sonic 2 on the Sega Master System back in 1992–24 years ago. That is quite a while ago. Fans have seemingly clamored for more 2D Sonic the Hedgehog games over the years that followed. For short periods it seemed as if Sega was going to listen to fans and give them […]

Revenge of the License: Five NES Games That Missed the Point
July 24th, 2016 Michael Crisman I love licensed NES games. I love the sound they make as I yank them out of my system and hurl them against the wall. The relentless plundering through the morass in search of something worth playing and finding the occasional surprise is always delightful, and why I keep coming back to this column over […]

Twin Maze Sega Master System Work in Progress
July 3rd, 2016 Carl Williams New games for the Sega Master System seem to be more varied than for other platforms. Not saying that is a bad thing against other platforms receiving new games by fans, just an observation. This could be because the Sega Master System has such a limited variety of games in the first place. This situation […]

Swabby Homebrew Independent Sega Game Gear Shooter Released
June 17th, 2016 Carl Williams Scrolling shooters. You are probably tired of me bringing up that the heyday of this genre being long gone. That is fine. It seems to be working. We are seeing more scrolling shooting games pop up from the independent developer world. That makes me happy. I mean, I still for the most part suck at […]

Bara Baru Brings Bubble Bobble Style Action to Sega Master System
June 10th, 2016 Carl Williams They say imitation is the best form of flattery. That has never been truer than in video games. It is common place for a popular game to spur other companies into making “similar” games. This is true in the independent developer world too. Take Bara Baru on the Sega Master System for example. It is […]

5 New Sega Master System Games
January 9th, 2016 Carl Williams The Sega Master System did not fare all that well in the United States. Partly to being mishandled by Sega and partly due to restrictive licensee agreements Nintendo enforced. Take your pick. While the Master System did flourish in other countries, in North America it just couldn’t gain much of a foothold. In the United […]

Mega Man 2 Unofficially Ported to the Sega Master System, Work in Progress
November 8th, 2015 Carl Williams You read that title right. Mega Man 2 is being ported to the Sega Master System by fans. Anyone that was around during the 16-Bit days will remember that Mega Man never saw a release, at least officially, on a Sega console till we got to the Saturn (which means, it was a long time). […]

Dr. Hello Brings Pharmaceutical Mario to Sega Master System
November 4th, 2015 Carl Williams When Nintendo released Dr. Mario they received a fair bit of criticism by fans and parents. Most gamers just enjoyed the game for what it was- a cool puzzle title that had a unique spin on it. Nintendo didn’t buckle under the pressure (they saved that for the whole blood situation in Mortal Kombat II) […]

Alex Kidd is coming to the TI-99/4A Computer Thanks to Homebrew Developer
August 29th, 2015 Carl Williams The classic, and completely forgotten by Sega, game Alex Kidd is being ported to the Texas Instruments 99/4A computer. This is not an official port but one by a homebrew developer who just happens to be a huge Alex Kidd fanatic. Some things were sacrificed for this port, which is to be expected as the […]

Another Tetris Clone Comes to the Sega Master System, Unofficially of Course as Bloki
August 19th, 2015 Carl Williams It is a well-known story that Sega had put their hat in the ring to get Tetris for their console, the Sega Genesis, back in the late 80’s. It didn’t pan out as they apparently licensed it from the wrong company (whom had the rights to the computer version but not the console version) and […]
