It's just a simple little game in which you navigate a maze, but I think it was the first example of a game coming pre-installed on a console.<br /><br />Sega, like NEC, loved futzing around with its consoles, so later versions of the SMS had different built in games, including Hang-On, Alex Kidd in Miracle World and even Sonic the Hedgehog:<br />http://www.smspower.org/dev/bios/DETAILS.TXTDoctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-75219045505069424542010-07-08T06:01:32.070-07:002010-07-08T06:01:32.070-07:00Helm, it's been literally like 20 years so my ...Helm, it's been literally like 20 years so my memory is fuzzy, but yes I think it's like a stripped-down version of the FZ maze game.

But he remarked on how these were built-in games with the system so I'm confused.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-45655804799676750962010-07-07T06:17:34.089-07:002010-07-07T06:17:34.089-07:00As always, I'm thrilled to see a new installme...As always, I'm thrilled to see a new installment!<br /><br />I think you missed a game, though: the built-in maze game that is on the Master System. You had to hold some combination of buttons when powering it on, and I actually played it a lot since I was a broke-ass kid with an SMS and 1 game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-52412820835509819152010-07-05T13:16:16.875-07:002010-07-05T13:16:16.875-07:00Portable games, along with older gen consoles, are...Portable games, along with older gen consoles, are one of those things I tend to get asked about a lot. I think throwing in the Game Boy/Game Gear would make things a little too crazy, considering the NES, SNES, PC-Engine, SMS & Genesis were all releasing games when the GG launched.<br /><br />Kenseiden was one of those games I was hoping was going to be really cool, but didn't quite work out (another one: Elyisian, to be featured in Chrontendo 31). The character is just too slow and clunky to deal with all the annoying little enemies. Having more space in front of him would make it more playable. But I assume the developers wanted to make it very memorization based.<br /><br />I personally am pretty skeptical on 3D games. But Avatar made an ass-load of money, which is more than can said of any movie from the 80s 3D revival. I assume the public will tire of it eventually.Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-29046264304052649842010-07-05T11:53:42.346-07:002010-07-05T11:53:42.346-07:00Seeing all those 3D games which plopped up in the ...Seeing all those 3D games which plopped up in the 80s on the SMS makes me think of the typical theory from historicans: "History repeats itself!" Though I am not a fan of these unscientific simplified theories, it is right for the history of the last quarter of the 80s and the modern computer- and Video-game history. In the past there were these shutter glasses, and what did nVidia 2 years ago? Released shutter glasses...for 300 bucks. I think the patent from SEGA just ran out.<br />The 3D mania from the current time is just a reoccurence from the 80s.<br /><br />Oh, and Alexx Kid and the Lost stars: The naked guy shooting Skulls out of his ass is really ingenious, I want to see him again in a modern game. An Opa Opa is cool, I cant get enough of him, though he has no exceptional features like other mascots...he just rocks (or it?).qaylIS aka Nicolas Deußerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943098766424527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-81119243087066588292010-07-05T05:08:34.304-07:002010-07-05T05:08:34.304-07:00Thank you for your hard work once again.

I appreciate your research.<br /><br />Kenseiden seems like a game that I'd like to try as I don't particularily mind wimpy protagonists, just as long as they become better on the way, which seems to be the case, marginally.<br /><br />Seems like a game that would benefit a lot from focusing the screen 50 pixels in FRONT of the direction you're walking in, really, so you have time to avoid arrows and time your sword-slashes. Such small fixes for games make a few old near-good games frustrating to play because one can see the simple coding ways to make them better, heh.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-47458817014744962182010-07-04T19:46:15.571-07:002010-07-04T19:46:15.571-07:00Will you also include Game Gear in Chronsega?Will you also include Game Gear in Chronsega?Jonothanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305455959377150878noreply@blogger.com
