Although a game like Great Basketball was not what a basketball game could or should be in 1986, something like Enduro Racer or The Ninja appeared to be quite simple at first but actually held some satisfying depth. However, I've always felt that he was oversimplifying or perhaps just focusing on the worst examples in that regard, because quite a few of the earliest games in the library have some surprising hidden depth in the gameplay mechanics.

Mark Cerny has said as much, complaining that early on, Sega put too much emphasis on quantity and not enough on quality in the SMS library. Guessing from that perspective, Sega probably felt a need for tight timelines to get a fair quantity of games out to put up a presence on the retail shelves?Īt the least, I think it's safe to say he'll have more SMS games to talk about in 1986-1987 retrospective. (though he's only done one Game Gear video since I think the Japanese launch games were all that was out by the end of 1990? Maybe one or two more by the end of the year?) He finished the 7800 1986/1987 lineup in only two or three videos.īut the shocker was just how small that 7800 library was: is that right that TWO GAMES, two ports of older computer games, is all Atari could muster in 1987? Going a bit off the topic, but I was thinking that after seeing Jeremy Parish latest videos (he had been reviewing every North American NES and every Game Boy release in chronological order, only recently taking some time to look at Atari and Sega's comparative offerings in the same time periods). Deadlines for Arcade releases were super tight too - considering the bleeding edge nature of some of the hardware - but SMS projects were in their own league of tightness. Yeah, this is very true according to numerous developer interviews Sega basically imposed the harshest sweatshop conditions for the majority of their in-house SMS titles. Iirc, Sega were notorious for giving their developers very tight deadlines (about three months per game from start to finish) for their Master System games. So maybe 2 weekends worth of work? Then push the patches out for a beta test. The last thing would be handling the compressed images, and trying to fit them into the rom. I believe I'll have that done this weekend, as well as cleaning up the other graphics that need a little more polish. Phantasy Star is still one of my favorite games of all time. I've been shopping around for a SMS Mark III of late, just so I have one. I would love to have a physical copy of this Tyris Flare edition. That means all graphic resources, the editor source and binaries, and the SMS Golden Axe project file. That being said, I'll make sure everything is available for anyone who may be interested in pursuing further features. This was basically just a quick side project, because I've always been a Golden Axe fan, and Tyris is one of my fave characters as well :)

I'm not really all that interested in doing that for the time being. There are a lot of limiting things, the palette would definitely be one of the biggest challenges if going for all 3 selectable characters. If other characters were to be introduced, then yeah, for that you'd definitely have to. If I have to go over the 512k original size, so be it, but I'd like to fit everything in using the size limit.
