We may have to agree to disagree on altered beast. I didn't notice bugs. As for slow... that's altered beast. It's a pretty slow game. I'll be honest, I hate most Alex Kidd games. But one has to separate things one dislikes from bad. Lost stars was an arcade game. It was an arcade game and thus a race against the timer. It's very different but not shovelware. It is my least favorite Alex Kidd. But it was not incompetent or put out without thought. It just is not my type of game. High Tech World was actually a very popular game from my understanding in Japan. It's original name is anmitsu hime. SEGA thought the anime theme would not do well in the west and reskinned it. Basically, they super mario 2'd that shit. Still not my type of game, but just like Mario 2, I can look past that I don't like it and notice that it is not a bad game. It just is not one I like. |

The beauty of the card slot, is this is how you can play 3d games. The model 2 has no card hook up and 3d requires the card slot. |

--- Quote from: soera on May 13, 2013, 05:04:37 pm ---The SMS was an awesome system compared to the NES if you ask me. The system itself looks a lot cooler and the control pads are better than the squares but not as cool as the dogbone. The games however are what set the system apart to me. While the SMS only had 115ish games compared to the 765 on the NES, there is hardly anything on there that could be considered shovelware. Ive said it before about Phantasy star and Ill say it again - if it was released on the NES/SNES instead of the SMS/Genesis, it would be the RPG series of the future instead of what we have now. Miracle warriors is another awesome RPG and actually what my avatar name comes from. Golvellius is a weird but cool Zelda like clone. Golden Axe warrior is another Zelda like clone. R-type is one of the only shmups I really enjoy. Rocky is short but its a pretty fun game and to this day I can still hear the music in between rounds in my head. :P Ys is just like the one on the Turbografx but its only book 1. Basketball nightmare is a neat BB game where you play against monsters instead of other people. The slam dunk breakaway scenes are nice looking. Astro warrior is a basic shmup that isnt bad. Lots of other games too. I really could go on and on about the SMS. If it wasnt for the wife, the SMS would be what my wall consists of right now. :) It may still very well get there. :) --- End quote --- I looked up game play of miracle warriors on youtube and looked pretty cool :) I would have to get used to view but looks like a cool old skool rpg. thanks for that info |

I know it's picky but I didn't want to not point it out in case somebody decided to pick up a few Japanese games based on that info. |

I've never looked into Japanese SMS games, more U.K. and Brazil. |
