Reproduction Cartridges

I have personally seen a few come through my store, but I don't like dealing with repro carts....

With how popular repros become lately, I'm surprised a game as popular and sought after as the SMS Sonic the Hedgehog games or Phantasy Star haven't been re-released yet. Especially since SMS seems to have started getting pretty popular in the retro-circles lately.
soera:
Sonic itself has been on lots of remakes for basically ever console now. Phantasy star has also.

Ys II however should have been made for the SMS. Made no sense why it never made it there when both games were available by the end of 1988 and the system itself continued on for years. It was supposed to be a single game to begin with but it got split up. To finish the entire game on its initial release system would have been cool. :)

Ive been talking with the guy from Windy gaming since the link was posted here and he is going to look into it! I hope this comes to be cause Ill be at the front of the line to get one. :)

The ones that are on the Sonic collections, are the crappy Game Gear versions, not the Sega Master System versions (not sure why they did that). And those games aren't the same as their Genesis counterparts with the same name.

... they are pretty much identical (Game Gear and SMS). Sonic 1 had sprite resizing plus minor changes to some boss battles. Sonic 2, spinball, and Chaos are changed even less so I believe. They just tend to be zoomed in a little bit. But not in any way that detracts. It's not like Mega Man on Game Gear.

The biggest difference I've noticed is that when speed running through Bridge Zone some of my jump points need to be altered by a fraction of a second. And the boss battle is fairly different. Same concept. But redesigned to not fill the whole screen like it did before.

Unless if both the SMS and Game Gear versions are crappy, I don't see how one can be crappy and not the other. And I don't see how both versions can be crappy. And Sonic 1 on Game Gear and SMS is arguably better than Sonic 1 on Genesis. Sonic 2, on the other hand, is all Genesis.
