Galaxy Force was one I really liked. The speed and colors really seemed to put any NES game to shame.

GREAT call on Zillion! It is one of my all-time favorites.
Also nice to hear mention of Spellcaster.
No mention of Psycho Fox, Phantasy Star, Miracle Warriors or Wonderboy III? Also, what about the Fantasy Zone series?

The european version of the sms games,are compatible with the american sms.

Only Prince Of Persia,Jungle Book and Back to the Future III don’t work on US system.

The PAL games are more cheaper then us version,because the Sms have a great success in Europe..
With 5€ max 10€ you can buy the Sonic series,Mortal Kombat 1 or 2,Robocop vs The terminator,Marble Madness,Batman Returns,Lucky Dime Caper,Alien 3,Cool Spot and many more.
The games that you have listed, are of the first generation, therefore not the best games on Sms.

Sorry for my bad english,i’m italian!

ciao a tutti!

I just picked up Rastan recently in order to test out my new Master Gear converted. It’s pretty decent, although it’s blurry as Hell on GameGear.

I used to have quite a large collection of SMS games (almost a complete US set). It’s quite the challenging system to collect, especially looking places other than eBay.

If you can find a working pair of the 3D glasses all of those games are worth getting just for the retro “wow” factor. Missile Defense 3D is my favorite one.

The Wonderboy sequels are as solid as almost any game on the NES and not near as hard to find as Phantasy Star. I think if you find and SMS II it has Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in, which is also a great game.

Great call on Spell Caster. Golvelius is not incredibly hard to find either, but not really rare.

Funny story about my SMS collecting… I went to my favorite used game shop and finally found a complete copy of Phantasy Star. I put it in my SMS and it was MONOPOLY! Someone had switched the cart… I thought it was $30 down the drain, but I actually sold just the box and instructions for quite a bit a few years later on eBay.
