Over the years I have played many, many, many games on a lot of different consoles, but I always turn back to my youth for truly entertaining games that I used to play by myself or with friends, without the need for online connectivity.
Here is a rundown of my top 5 games I played on the original Sega Master System.

5 – Alien 3 ;- The film Alien is one of the most iconic films of all time, soon after, the makers wanted to cash in by developing games. Alien 3 was a platform game similar to Sonic or Mario. As a kid the Alien film scared the hell out of me. When an alien came on screen, each time I would hide behind the couch. But I was okay with the game. You basically have to go around and rescue survivors and shoot Aliens with a plasma rifle. I can still remember the 8 bit music.

4 – Streets of Rage;- A basic sliding platform game that had great graphics for the time and plays very well. You take control of a vigilante and basically go around beating up thugs and their Boss's. Me and my best friend at the time used to argue over who got to play. Its just a shame it didn't have a 2 player mode like they did on the re-release on the megadrive.

3 – Sonic the Hedgehog;- This game is a Sega icon. Just like Mario for the NES, Sega came up with Sonic to compete with the ever popular NES. I never had a copy of the game, but my best friend did. We used to take turns with each level we completed and if we died, we handed the pad over. We would play so much that my parents would have to come and get me because it was very late in the evening. Today the game sells for upwards of $140+ and is now one of the most collectable games to date.

2 – Golden Axe;- Similar style to Streets of Rage but in a medieval setting, this game was hugely popular with critics and magazines, and its easy to see why. Very crisp graphics, excellent music and sound effects, challenging and over all good fun. I loved this game to the point I have the original cartridge still. Its life on the master system was short lived as it was re-released on the Mega Drive which blew it out of the water, and it sported a multi player option too.

1 – Mortal Kombat II;- ever thought some old games are missing that 3D feel? Mortal kombat II brought the characters to life with constant animation. Sure the game play was a little choppy and the animation had a low frame rate, but the 2 player function provided endless entertainment. When I had a group of friends around, we would play, 'winner stay on' so the loser of each match had to pass on the pad. We would scream for each other to win and get overly determined if someone stays on playing for a long time, not loosing. ''Finish him''.. haha. It was an Awesome game.


These games bring back good memories, and me and a few friends are sorting out a date when we can get together and relive those days of old.

Thanks for reading.
