Master System, Who Collects For It?

[sin2beta]

I collect for the master system. I have around 60 games. It's not my main system I collect for, but I would like to get a lot more games for it.

My favorite is Phantasy Star.And I did use a guide. I commented way back on "what games are you perfect 10s" and this was the reason I was unable to list it. There are sections that I find it close to impossible. It's not the dungeons, its the weird stuff you have to find that seems close to impossible.

Other favorites:
Sonic
Wonder Boy series
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
Rampage
Double Dragon
After Burner

I have 62 games for my SMS and even own a SMS2.

Also have the Japanese Sega SG 1000 and SG 1000 II.

Mostly like to play the shooters on it.

I started collecting Master System titles a year or so ago. Sadly, the selection available to me has not been very large, so I only have four games or so. It's a very humble beginning, but you have to start somewhere.

One of the few games in my collection that I'm particular pleased with is King's Quest. I acquired this less as Master System selection and more just as a part of my collection of King's Quest games. But it is still an interesting curiosity to see a classic adventure game like this available on such an early home console.

I'm really hoping to get a copy of Phantasy Star.

I too collect for SMS but admittedly not a top 5 console for me to collect for. My cousin had one back in 1987 so playing Space Harrier and Out Run on it were my primary memories when I was young. Picked up one cheap with some games about 15 years ago or so and will periodically buy games here and there when I find them. Might have to utilize ebay to get some of the games I really truly want still such as Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, Y's the Vanished Omen, Golden Axe Warrior & Basketball Nightmare.

Top 5 SMS in my collection:
5. R-Type
4. Fantasy Zone
3. Phantasy Star
2. Shinobi
1. Wonder Boy 3: Dragon's Trap

Had one when I was younger and sold it to buy a genesis. Been able to find a system and a game.  Wish I had more but are hard to come by around here. It was a great system and still is.

seems sooo hard to collect for
the local retro shop near me VERY rarely gets SMS games in.
and i've never seen a console in my life.

Exactly.  "If" they do get anything it is quite pricey.

I bought my SMS as a bundle from Goodwill the day before I started my first job out of college.

$24.99 and it came with 2 controllers, a zapper, and 10 CIB games.

I still don't know what the built-in game is for my SMS.
