Sega Master System

Yeah, what's with the different Sonic games? Al the modern "collection" games seem to brand the Mega Drive Sonic game as Sonic's first game... but surely the SMS ones came before it, if only by a little bit? Or are Sega lying?

I have great memories of Alex Kidd. The built-in one (Miracle World) was hard for me as a youngster. Hah, the game doesn't really hold up today... it's not a good game... but Sonic 2 is! I have great memories of playing that at a friend's house, and at the time it seemed very hard (it's still harder than the MD Sonic games). I remember a Pig on wheels boss, and a horrible duck boss (Sky Zone?). Sky Zone was hard simply because the glider never seemed to go where I wanted it to.

I now own a SMS with loads of games and accessories like the light phaser (but now the 3D glasses), which I got in an auction recently, as a collector's set... but the SMS never compared REMOTELY to the NES. Apparently here in New Zealand and even in Australia, at that time, the SMS outsold the NES merely because of availability... how sad. Kinda like NZ is the only place now in the world where the PSP outsells DS... but not by much (and there's almost no advertising here for the DS anyway... it sells on word of mouth)
