Sega Power's Top 211 Sega Master System Games of All Time (Part 6: #75 - #51)

#75: Putt & Putter

81% “Great fun for two players, this is one of those games that looks awful, feels dated but has better gameplay than many other more high-profile titles around at the mo.”

#74: The Terminator

81% “A cracking game. More levels would have been useful (especially when you consider what happened in the film), but it all pales beside the incredible non-stop action.”

#73: Streets of Rage

81% “8-bit owners are at last getting a share of some of the best 16-bit titles ever – and this version would have been a riot if only Sega had upped the down difficulty level.”

#72: Aerial Assault

82% “An all-round good blast ‘em up, with classic good looks and a nice, line in senseless violence. Only skilled players get to the top through!”

#71: Bomber Raid

82% “Bomber Raid is a very competent shoot ‘em up: tough and plenty of fun. It won't take that long to finish the final mission, but it does continue again from the first level for all you high score freaks.”

#70: Fire & Ice

82% “Great platform style fun with just the right amount of addiction, challenge and frustration. Sadly, it's let down by a couple of niggles – like the dodgy collision detection.”

#69: Fire and Forget II

82% “A great start for Titus. The playability is good despite the odd features and it requires a lot more thought than your usual shoot ‘em up/driving game. It may not be the most original game, but it's a great example of its genre (look that up).”

#68: Krusty's Fun House

82% “Not the place to come for high art or for maximum thrills, Krusty's is nonetheless one hell of a fun game—on both the Master System and the Game Gear. Groovy.”

#67: Mick & Mack's Global Gladiators

82% “Another great looking 8-bit title. Nothing original, but it's good fun and fresh enough to keep you playing. With support like this, the Master has a good few years left.”

#66: Space Harrier

82% “A good conversion from the arcade outing, it leaves very little to be desired in the death ‘n' glory stakes. If you're up to it, have a strong fire finger and ricochet reactions, then Space Harrier is worth staying in for!”

#65: World Grand Prix

82% “With 12 tough courses to challenge you, plus a neat track designer, World Grand Prix should keep most speed freaks entertained for a good while.”

#64: Chuck Rock 2: Son of Chuck

83% “Superb graphics and, for once, the active use of the programmers' imaginations lifts this above the normal crop of platformers. Bifton, mate.”

#63: GP Rider

83% “Undoubtedly the best racing game on the Master System. The sensation of speed is superb, marred only by some flickery graphics and dodgy collision detection.”

#62: James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod

83% “James Pond 2 RoboCod really stands out due to its loving conversion onto the Master System. A bit out of date, but still worthwhile for a one-night stand.”

#61: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

83% “A good game, with some nice touches. The graphics are excellent, all the characters move well and the backgrounds provide lots of nice ‘n moody scenes for the action to take place. If you can survive the ghastly sound, then Moonwalker will have you dancing for joy.”

#60: Tennis Ace

83% “A superb tennis game which is loaded with playability and should be a serious target for anyone's cash – not just tennis or sports sim fans.”

#59: Asterix and the Great Rescue

84% “Asterix has good graphics and the like, and if you've played the excellent first Master System game, you'll find the gameplay very similar here. The best of the bunch and a real trouser warmer for those dreary and cold winter evenings.”

#58: Buggy Run

84% “Insanely addictive fun for one or two players, with more than enough options to keep you hooked if you're playing on your own. Definitely one you shouldn't miss.”

#57: Paperboy

84% “It may be six years old, but it's still a great game. What it needed to get that arcade ‘feel' onto the Master System was a very good and competent conversion, thankfully that's just what it got. Get on your bike!”

#56: Rampage

84% “One of the best ‘fun' games around. It may be well old, but it's really good at bringing out the destructive nature in us all. Terrific, lighthearted fun that's also got a meaty slice of good gameplay.”

#55: RoboCop vs. The Terminator

84% “A teasing mix of humor and aggression, which looks gorgeous – but enough about me. Forget the violence, forget the bloodshed and simply forget yourself. Dead chipper, mate.”

#54: The Jungle Book

84% “Jungle Book is not about to melt your system in a frenzy of blistering gameplay, but slap it in and you can't help but enjoy yourself. Worth just that little bit more than a look.”

#53: Wimbledon

84% “All right, so tennis isn't exactly the best sport in the entire world (American football is, and if you don't agree, it's only because you're too think to understand the rules), but a good game is a good game and Wimbledon is a good game. Great fun and it's fast and exciting too.”

#52: Double Dragon

85% “Big Boss has stolen your girlfriend, you see, and you have to reach his lair – using your martial arts skills to defeat his thugs en route. What's more, it's just as tough on your hands as it is on the streets. There's also a great simultaneous two-player mode. A great joystick-bursting tour de smash.”

#51: Danan: The Jungle Fighter

85% “Jungle Fighter is an excellent game with good graphics and absorbing gameplay. If you liked Rastan, buy it!”
