Look forward to Segaiden Vol. Can you make it even halfway through the single stage of action here? If so, you are like unto a god. While it looks almost as good as the arcade game (except that sickly green sky), it lacks a huge amount of content-two-thirds of the coin-op's stages and enemies! To make matters worse, Sega's programmers clearly amped up the difficulty to a preposterous degree in order to pad out the lacking play time. As for My Hero, unfortunately it does no favors for the optics of the Master System and its Sega Card format. The Western release is almost exactly the same as the Japanese M圜ard, with one crucial (but ultimately immaterial) difference. Teddy Boy, of course, launched alongside Hang On with the Japanese Mark III hardware. Barely a year between the two home releases, but this one feels far more of-the-moment than the SG-1000 port did. So, while we may have seen Choplifter during our SG-1000 survey, we certainly didn't see this version of it Sega based the older, Japan-only release on the Apple II game, while this U.S.- and European-exclusive upgrade draws its content and aesthetics from the company's arcade interpretation. Three episodes into the Master System run and already we have some familiar sights-but understandably so, since each of these games comes to Master System from arcades. ![]() All ad revenue generated by this video through March 15 will be donated to, along with my own 4x matching donation. Finally, I know a video with "TransBot" in the title is bound to inspire some crass or cruel drive-by comments, so I'd like to balance things out a bit. It's a game about racing the same track over and over again because the requirements for qualifying for later tracks are human impossible to achieve. There's also World Grand Prix, the sequel to GP World. ![]() Yuji Naka supposedly programmed this port, and all I can say is: What a mad man. The main feature, however, turned out to be F-16 Fighting Falcon, a game no one would reasonably ever want to play, which does some absolutely ridiculous things with the Master System's more esoteric capabilities. I thought the main feature this week would be TransBot, a pretty OK shooter based on a pretty good arcade game that rectifies the failings of Orguss for SG-1000 while basically swiping the concept wholesale, but no.

Look forward to SG-1000 Works: Segaiden Vol. And, because it plays as a convincing Kung Fu clone, you can understand why they went to the trouble rather than just skipping over localization and publishing some other game instead. It's really quite an impressive effort-and yet, the underlying work still shines through. And I do mean "scrubbed"-rather than simply redrawing the main character's sprites, the developers gave every single component of this game a visual overhaul. Here in the U.S., however, Sega scrubbed all of those details clean. On the other hand, Black Belt did sport a media license. Drawing heavy inspiration from the likes of Spy Hunter and (gulp) Xevious, it turns out to be an unexpected highlight of the Master System's launch period. Action Fighter clearly draws its inspiration from 1970s James Bond and his transforming Lotus Esprit, but unlike James Bond 007 for Multivision, it doesn't wear the actual Bond license. ![]() A pair of games based on popular media works?
