Wonder Boy, Fantasy Zone coming to North American VC

Dude... you betta recognize... the original Phantasy Star! that's the bomb!!!!!

I'm hoping for Zillion and Gollvlleius (sp?). anyone else remember those? Black Belt was good too

I hope they come to the UK as well, I LOVED Fantasy Star. That poor ship.....

Master System had a few good games, Choplifter was fun, Wonderboy was always good.. though I'm drawing somewhat a blank on a lot of them, but I do the same thing for Nintendo Entertainment System, been a few years, yanno?

Hmm, let's see. The Sonic games (the first two are OK but Sonic Chaos is the best of them), Psycho Fox, the Great series of sports games, Robocop vs. Terminator, the Wonderboy series, Asterix, Line of Fire, Marble Madness....

Wow, only 400 Points? That's funny, since they're 500 Points in Japan (600 for Fist of the North Star), and Genesis games are more expensive outside of Japan (600 in Japan, 800 elsewhere).

I thought the Virtual Console had been abandoned.

Zillion is a really fun, really amazing adventure game for the SMS. I remember loving the soundtrack more than anything. If that game comes out, I highly recommend checking it out. I vaguely recall Alex Kidd and the other two listed above.

too bad they probably won't do gangster town.

Wonder Boy FTW! Better than Hudson's Adventure Island.

Though it's already been said: Phantasy Star.

You know, i'm pretty disappointed that out of everyone here trying to think of good Master System games, no one has brought up Phantasy Star or Shinobi yet.

400 points sounds good. :P

If it weren't for the GBA port, I'd TOTALLY buy a VC version of Phantasy Star. Other than that, Space Harrier? Oh, the original Shinobi!

That's levitation, Holmes.

Transbot!!! and no it wasn't a cross dressing robot...
It was a transformers rip off sort of..
What about that haunted house game.. It had no ending, you just got different colored backgrounds and the movements of the bad guys sped up to make it more difficult

I'll be happy if these three make it on there:


Shinobi,
Out Run Europa, and...

...wait for it...


Snail Maze!

Given how much THQ screwed up the GBA Phantasy Star port, that needs to come out on VC. The game is great - but the constant crashing in the GBA version keeps many from knowing of it.

Rastan was entertaining, even if it had a lousy cover even by Master System standards.

Beyond that, though... I already have a Genny with a Power Base Converter. I want a Master System game, I generally just play it natively.

Give me Phantasy Star IV!

If anyone is really that interested in some of the more arcade style Master System games, you should check out this Plug and Play unit:

http://playpalworld.com/plug_play.html

It's usually listed for about $20 online, but I got mine in a Real Canadian Superstore in Canada for I believe $6.98

Some of them list different games, but mine came with:

Sonic Blast
Sonic Chaos
Sonic Drift 2
Sonic Spinball
Sonic Triple Trouble
Alex Kidd in High Tech World
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Alex Kidd The Lost Stars
Altered Beast
Astro Warrior
Bomber Raid
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Ecco the Tides of Time
Fantasy Zone
Golden Axe
Penguin Land
Psycho Fox
Quartet
Ristar
Super Columns

Note that some of the games like Ristar are actually Game Gear versions of the game.

The unit is not that great to play with, but its definitely better priced than these virtual console games, and it's funky-looking enough to appeal to even modest Sega fanboys like myself.

Moonwalker ftw.

I still have my copy!

Sadly, that's not a lie.

Penguin Land. Straight up.

My friend in elementary school had an SMS, and I had an NES. Ahhh, the debates over which was better. :)

In any case, I can only remember playing Shinobi over at his house and playing it again would be rad.

Phantasy Star 1 is the only game I intend on getting on the sms.
I think people have childhood memories of the sms that won't live up to expectations.

I used to spend hours upon hours playing The Ninja, Pro Wrestling, Fantasy Zone, and the Hang On/Safari Hunt combo cart. Also, one I discovered years later through emulators, Zelda-rip-off-supreme: Golden Axe Warrior.

Penguin Land! That was a great game!
