Master system pal game list

But some games have compensated for this and doesn't run slower as previously stated. There can be other differences between the PAL and NTCS versions as well, that can affect overall speed translated texts for instance or stuff that have been censored. Once you play on 60Hz, you won't want to go back to 50Hz. Edit history:. Onenineeightfive: am. Seconded what Adam said. I play on a PAL master system and god i love this console, but it's terribly slow Anyways, i don't think for Ninja Gaiden it'll make a lot of a difference.

Still here's a shitty video of the mod :. Quote from KrazyRasmus:. I already did so here at SGDQ. It's very fast paced on NTSC, and it'll make for an excellent speedgame. There should be a thread up for it already.

For a proper submission wouldn't it have to be played on a PAL console? Or would it just be a separate "60Hz" category? I guess it depends on the game, some may be very different while others, hardly at all. I'm a bit sceptical on the "60hz" category. On one hand, run the game in the fastest way is what we are seeking. Like adam said it can turn a normal game in an excellent speedrunable game. On the other hand i'll be sectarian here, but if the game was realsed only in UE aka PAL only , i think you'll have to speedrun it on a non mod pal system.

This might been already discussed a shit tons of time for the other consoles, but i haven't found anything for the SMS. Gamingnerd: am. Quote from Onenineeightfive:. Just another way to play the games without actually having owned a SMS console. Generally you should play SMS games on 60Hz if they were released worldwide.

The carts contain the same rom in every region, it's the SMS that decides at what speed the games run at. The collectability of this true North American version and a few others below can be a bit confusing for those new to Master System collecting. In the later years of the Master System, Sega had a handful of popular games that were previously only published in PAL regions and Brazil. Since they knew the demand was lower in North America and it was challenging to justify different print runs for this region, the simply put a new, North American-specific UPS sticker on the back.

Many North American collectors are content to save some money by having a PAL version without the sticker. However, for a true North American complete collection, you will need the stickers. It is also worth mentioning but not surprising that the stickers could be prone too counterfeiting.

The US Sonic the Hedgehog game see below used to be the topic collectable in full North American glory, but dedicated Master System collectors have realized this Strider release is a bit harder to find and have paid the premium for it accordingly. Check for Strider on eBay. Despite the fact that the Sonic 8-bit games were actually good and Sonic had quite the appeal in North America, Sega still took the same PAL-to-North America publishing shortcut it did with Strider up above and some others below and seemed to have very limited copies produced.

Now, it is possible that there were a decent amount of copies produced and sold in the States, but the only ones that are worth much are the complete copies with that special North American UPC sticker on the back.

To be clear, if you look on eBay for a Sonic the Hedgehog for the Master System, you will indeed find some inexpensive games that will play on the North American Sega Master System, but most likely, it is actually just the more common European version. For many years, this true North American Sonic release was ranked was ranked as the 1 most valuable Master System game, but Strider has been found to be more elusive.

Check for Sonic the Hedgehog on eBay. That production developed by Technopop was a pretty solid success for that early 90s era. The 8-bit ports had the same basic format and storyline as the bit version, but with redesigned levels and cutscenes. Much like with Sonic the Hedgehog and Strider above and Golden Axe Warrior below , Sega took some of the European production units and slapped a simple UPC barcode sticker on the back code 0 1 for Spider-Man and sold those in very limited quantities in North America.

Check for Spiderman on eBay. The European releases, on the other hand, have full color retail package.

With this limited availability and the high collectability of a high-quality shmup production from Compile, Power Strike is a collectable with a lot of firepower behind it.

The game remains as a strong recommendation for shooter fans — its just up to you if you want to splurge for a true North American release or not. Check for Power Strike on eBay. This one is a mix of rarity and demand for a solid exclusive title. Of course, you could always opt for a PAL version without the elusive North American UPC sticker with code 0 2 — more detail about this situation above in the Strider entry. The game is colorful and makes great use of the Master System hardware while also having plenty of story tie-ins to the previous Golden Axe games.

The game is more of a curiosity or novelty than a solid gameplay experience. Alex Kidd in Miracle World happened be one of the most defining games on the platform.

This sixth! But the real treasure is the re-released Blue Label version for Its difficult to build a solid Master System collection without having a copy of Phantasy Star. It is not only one of the most Defining Games of the Sega Master System library , but it, and some of its sequels are also one of the most iconic games of the RPG genre.

I have not seen any with Blue carts though. Again, in , Sega re-released several early Master System games with significantly redesigned box art featuring a bold typeface, manuals printed on cheaper paper with a copyright date, and, most noticeably, a blue label on the cartridge instead of the standard red. As you might expect, some of these units are rarer than others. At the same time, some popular games like Out Run have more of a demand premium.

To learn about this subset in more detail and see physical examples, check out this video from John Hancock. ALF was featured on some other home computer games, however. Interestingly, it came out on New Years Eve, — completely missing the holiday shopping season. It is also worth noting that ALF was only released in North America and was published in the summer of as the Master System started to decline in the region.

According to RarityGuide. ALF on the Master System is an odd game in which the title character has to go around the house and town to collect items needed to fix his spaceship. The manual is definitely required for a premium selling price. As more collectors realized how limited this one is, the values have started to raise. Sega did this conversion themselves and they did it right. While the graphics are scaled down a bit, they look respectable and most of the levels are still there.

Controls are solid so jumping and throwing javelins feels relatively authentic. Developed internally by Sega, Psycho Fox is a solid platformer that feels a bit like an early successor to the Sonic games while being inspired by certain characteristics of Super Mario Bros 2 and 3. The game is pretty much an essential piece for deep Master System collections, but we highlighted it detail in our Master System Hidden Gems guide. Before too long, Sega did correct their ways and put the proper spelling on the label.

And like some classic baseball card spelling errors from the same era, the limited print-run mistaken cartridge is a collectors piece with a hefty premium. Check for Psycho Fox on eBay.
