According to japanese PlusD technology site, SEGA is going to release Master System games for VC. First titles are Fist of the North Star and Fantasy Zone, which both will come out in February. Sega Mk III and GameGear games will also be distributed underneath the Master System VC. Pricing is 500 points per game, except for North Star which is priced to 600 points.

It's one of my all time favorite games and one of those games I really point to in getting me into gaming. And the SMS is my favorite system ever.
this is good news. Bring on Psycho Fox!
EDIT: Fist of the North Star, released in America as Black Belt, is a pretty terrible game, though. Hopefully they'll release games like Double Dragon, Rampage, Pro Wrestling, and most importantly, Gangster Town.
I'd give a testicle for gangster town.
EDIT DOS:
*But not the bullshit sequels that are impossible.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
Isn't the Megadrive Sonic already on VC, which is identical to the SMS one only with better graphics? I thought it was generally accepted that the Megadrive sonics were the best versions?
The Mega Drive games are completely different to the Master System (and Game Gear) ones. The Master System games are still awesome though.
Lewiep sent me that game for winning one of the Sunday challenges that was going on.
It's awesome and has the most fantastic boxart ever.

What? Sonic Chaos was easier than the first one. Sonic 2 on the other hand...
Sonic 1 was one of the first games I finished
Alex Kidd is hard as fuck with that stupid forest level with spikes everywhere and the motorbike.
Wonder Boy the Dragons Trap is a brilliant game.
I fully support the return arrival of the overlords of PAL territory.

See Dragon's Curse for the Turbographx-16, it's Wonderboy 3 Dragons Trap only with slightly better graphics. (and a different name, it's on VC under the turbographx-16 category)

I had no idea. Awesome, thanks.
I really should try and finish that game, if i remember correctly the furthest I ever got was mouse dragon.

Fixed.
This is awesome, I regret selling my master system to buy a saturn so hard.
Games I had that I would also want now-
Transbot, Alex Kidd (The Lost Stars and Miracle World in particular), Wonderboy (all of them), Back to the Future II, Castle of Illusion, Danan: The Jungle Fighter, Fantasy Zone II (and probably the first one, never played it), The Lion King, Marble Madness, Out Run, all the Sonics.
I am old.
DUN DUN DUN DUN

Fuck the Marshmellow man. Fuck him and his stupid door.
Massive Crystal Cavern!
i think i owned the game for about three years before i so much as figured out how to catch ghosts.
Also there was some game- sort of a surrealist altered beast- that I could never figure out what to do on the first level.
It had cool graphics though

Also Astro Warrior was fun. I spent so much time playing those two games on my cousin's SMS. They had about 20, but I think those and a pinball game and maybe a baseball game or something were all I ever played.
what a good looking game. imagine a hd version
I have never got around to picking it up sadly..
Wrong, wrong wrong. The Master System version of Sonic is far, far superior to the Mega Drive version. Tis my favourite platform game of all time. It's so much more controlled, and thoughtful, but still Sonic.
This also means, that I'll be rebuying Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and then getting rid of my shoddy doesn't really work very well Master System Plus and all it's games, and controllers and laser guns! Huzzah for streamlining!
(On a side note, I have Mega Drive Sonic for the Wii and 360 (freebie) and to be honest, I much prefer the VC version. It seems more 'respectful' to the game, if you get me. The HUD the 360 version uses jars me too much)
2009 is a year of Updates - one every Monday. Hopefully. xx
I'd say Mega Drive Sonic 2 is slightly better then Master System though.
I'm just glad Sonic Blast never got a Master System release outside of Brazil or wherever. That game is terrible, and would ruin the 'all Master System Sonic games are awesome' rule.
You've made me curious now!

You can get it on Game Gear if you really want to feel the burn, though I'm not sure how common it is. I think it's on Sonic Adventure DX and Mega Collection Plus too, along with the other GG Sonic games, which are all over the place quality wise.
One of us! One of us!

Also...fucking Miracle Warriors!!! It took us several weeks before we figured out the riddle on how to find the last level in that amazing game. LOVED IT!
I own(ed) the Game Gear version. It really wasn't that bad. I thought it was better than Sonic 2 (GG). Both paled in comparison to the Genesis (or Megadrive, which I understand is the British spelling) Sonic 2.
Sonic Triple Trouble was awesome, though. Did that ever get an SMS release, or was it GG only?
