Watching you play Alf reminded me of me watching Alf. Then I thought of Small Wonder. Remember that shit? That was cool too. I think. Nostalgia kinda funny like that sometimes.
The Worst sega máster games,make me to Subcribe.👍🎮
Alex Kidd in High Tech World, excellent pick. I'm still shocked that AVGN hasn't reviewed that game.
My man need more subscribers and viewers because amazing person!
Also I wish my dad had old collection of video games
Remember Alf? He's back! In Sega Master System form!
He is back in pog form as well, Mr Millhouse.
You traded Bart's soul for a Master System game?
😂
@@louistournas120 I was going to use that joke but thought would be too obscure. Glad to see someone else knew that episode !
Underrated joke
Friend of mine literally found one in a dumpster behind a restaurant in between our houses with a couple games. Best day of our lives!
Sounds like bullshit. He stole it from somewhere.
Ah, you’ve encountered the “joy” that is US Gold, the warning sign in Europe that you were about to play some utter tripe.
What I wonder is why they are named U.S. Gold when they are a studio from the UK ?
@@Gatorade69 they published a lot of US games like beach head. Hence the name
The other warning sign being Tiertex... and guess which combo did that clunky Strider game on the Master System and Genesis?
@@NotABot55 Tiertex is a name I tried to scrub from my memory. Didn’t work.
@ShadowAngel Ocean weren’t the worst, the overwhelming majority of their games follow the same, solid action platformer formula. They knew their way around the Z80 processor and knocked out some amazing stuff for home computers.
Bought the Master System when it launched. So many great games for the time. Phantasy Star, Miracle Warriors, Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, Kenseiden, Action Fighter, Cloud Master, Shinobi, Fantasy Zone, Golden Ax Warrior, Ghouls N' Ghost, Golvelius and many more. Loved the Master System.
it was my first console, and i loved the hell out of it, only ended up with 15 games in total but most of them were awesome.
Couldn't agree more!! You named some of the best games! Phantasy Star, hands down! I remember getting that for Christmas. 54.99 even back then!
Great channel!!! Me and my older brother got the SMS when it came out, it's our favorite system of all time, there's no more nostalgic feeling I get for any system. Getting games at Toys r us, electronic boutique, Babbage's, and even Kaybee toys. And best of all, still have the system, 2 of them and all of our games and play them with my son!
I feel sorry for you as a NES kid. NINTENDO POWER!!!
@@samholdsworth3957 if Nintendo wasnt a bag of dicks back then there'd be no reason to feel "sorry" for a SEGA fan.
Back to the Future II could be easily on this list. I would also mention that would be great ig Shinobi had a remake in the level of Streets of Rage 4 or Alex Kidd!!
Try BTTF II on the Amstrad CPC port. About the most grim video game I have ever played.
“OH BOYYYYYYY” gets me everytime 😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine hearing that in his second grade class!
I got my Master System as a mistake. I remember asking "santa" (yup, i just showed my age) for the NES. Christmas morning came and I open what I was hoping to be the NES, instead it was the Master System. Long story short, I kept the Master System and enjoyed the heck out of it. What should have been an opps "santa" messed up, turned out to be "santa' you the man!
The master system had really good games. Some of them are better on master system than on NES.
Growing up in Germany the Master System was my first real console. There were so many cool games: R-Type, Alex kidd in miracle world, Sonic, after burner, space harrier,...
As a collector I still have all of them, as well as some nice peripherals, like the 3D glasses, the gun...
This was (along with the 16 bit consoles) my video game childhood :-)
I feel bad that no one ported R-Type to the NES/FDS, as it could have totally been a good conversion to that console, and ditto for R-Type II, though, I guess as a consolation prize, Nintendo DID release them both in a package deal for the Game Boy Color and they were both surprisingly good ports of the game.
I had no idea you were supposed to use the second controller for anything in F-16 fighter. No wonder I could never catch up to any of the enemies. I had that game my whole life and always thought it was terrible. It feels good to be right about something.
We need a master system mini classic 🤔
Indeed we do
You can hack the genesis classic and run them thru there. And i think they just came out with the power inverter add on for the mini
NO YOU DON'T. Both the Mega Drive mini and the ATGames Flashback (and Blast 16 on Pi) read Master System roms and Game Gear roms.
@@j.goggels9115 well, keep in mind some of us would buy some sort of SMS Mini, even if thousands of other devices can run them.
yes indeed, and i can easily pick the 40 games that belong on there.
As soon as John Hancock says "OH BOY," you know you're in for some serious shit.
Video gaming peaked with Penguin Land...50 levels of puzzle magic.
I like that game too!
I remember buying Penguin Land on a whim as a kid, and could not believe how much fun I had with that game. Still holds up today too. Great game.
@@tubejay1Awesome! Thanks for the smile--I was driving by a garage sale in 1994 and from the street saw sign saying Master System and 30 games for $30. That system and that Penguin Land cart are literally playing on the TV in front of me now!
Hey John, as a Brazilian that was my first videogame back in the days, prices of cartridges were very high and rental was the way to go... Man playing Cyber Shinobi and Tom & Jerry was the worst experience ever... But I have so much love for the Master System and Genesis, they made my childhood the best!
Is true that in Brazil games where still getting released for the Master System and Mega Drive into the 2000s.
Totally true, I lived in Recife, PE for a number of years. Sega Master System was everywhere. I actually brought my PS3 with me, but I'd only buy digital games, because you'd get them at American prices. Video games and systems are extremely expensive out there.
I want to retire in Recife someday, I love it. I will be one of those old men drinking agua de Coco, and caiprinhas on the beautiful beaches, relaxing.
My wife grew up with the Sega Master System game starring Monica, which is a popular cartoon in Brazil.
Brazil still has fantastic video arcades too!! I would take my son to Shopping Recife, the big mall out there, all of the time to play in the arcades.
I knew High Tech world would be on there... you know something??.. its a bad game but I actually enjoy it.
I bought a Master System 2 weeks ago, got 4 games and looking to get into it playingwise (always a little collecting element to it) and this video could not have come at a better time! (Forgotten Worlds, James Pond 2, Alex Kidd, California Games)
Gain Ground super fast, Y's the Vanished Omens SUPERB, Shinobi, Battle Out Run, The Lucky Dime Caper, Alex Kidd in Shinobi, Moonwalker, Castle of Illusion, Mortal Kombat, the Addams Family, Astro Warrior, love it
while 3 of those games was definitely better on the Genesis (minus Alex Kidd) you're still going to find a lot of good games for the console, that i can guarantee.
@@UltimateGamerCC thanks guys! I'm really looking forward to discover what the system is all about!
@@thunderm00se88 glad to hear it.
Not sure if they hold up but I used to love Psycho Fox, Fantasy Zone and Sonic Chaos. Golden axe warrior was great too but I think it's one of the harder to find games and pretty expensive now. Alex Kidd in Shinobi World was fun too if you are in a pal region.
Alf looks like the spiritual successor to ET
Master System was a major thing in Brazil in the late 80s/early 90s, since the NES wasn't officially sold here (nor manufactured), so Sega took over the local market for some time. Cyber Shinobi is a hideous game! Alex Kidd in High Tech World was barely viable with gaming magazines walkthrough. I always enjoy seeing the american perspective on the console. Great video!
Same in Europe.
To tell you the truth, I bet a majority of American's perspective on the system is "What is a master system."
I grew up with a NES but had no idea that Sega had another console before the Genesis. I always knew Sega for Arcade/Genesis. It wasn't until I was in high school and got into emulation when I found out there was a couple Sega systems before the Genesis. I have never seen one in person,
I managed to get my hands on a Master System 2 from an uncle of mine that had connections in Russia for video gaming paraphernalia. I believe I was the only kid in Russia to own it. Nobody ever heard of it. When you mention Sega they automatically associate that name with the Mega Drive. But in 1986-87 I felt like the luckiest kid in the USSR.
It was my first actual console, absolutely loved Double Dragon, Shinobi, Alex Kidd in Shinobi world, Kung Fu Kid, Wonder Boy 1,2,3, Teddy Boy, Phantasy Zone.
It made life a little more palatable in the soviet union.
Black belt was terrible though.
@@igorivanov299 that's cool to hear because people tend to like all those games, including Black Belt - me included! Hahaha
I love how you start off naming some good games and then say "we're not talking about ANY of those!"
John has such a positive vibe, even when talking about bad games!
The sms is my favorite 8 bit console.
Great video John. This video brought back some childhood nightmares 🤣🤣 I remember playing Alex Kidd in High Tech World for the first time after playing AK in Miracle World to death and was so disappointed with the game and ended up getting rid of it after a few days. The Cyber Shinobi was well and truly awful. I had all of the Shinobi games for the Master System and Mega Drive and most of them are awesome but I agree it was a stinker 💩 Love your videos and have subscribed to your channel. ❤️🕹🎮
There's also The Flintstones on SMS. You think you'd have a fun little platformer, similar to the NES or Genesis Taito produced ones, but no. It's essentially a chore simulator. If you ever wanted to paint a wall while having to babysit for Pebbles, who is uncharacteristically mischievous and ruins all your progress, there you go.
I had that version on the C64, had completely forgotten about it!! (Or maybe blocked it out?!) Used to drive me completely nuts, trying to paint that wall & I just wanted to get to the bowling level!!
Omg finally someone reviewed f16 fighter... That game rickrolled me in a swap cause Cover looked awesome
Enjoyed the vid. Great Baseball is my favorite basball game even today. You can play the game on 2 buttons. I just love that game. I played, and sonetimes pull it out to play today. Id love to know how many hours i spent on that game since 86!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making this video. It makes me want to hunt these games down now and play them :) I still have my SMS, I can't ever figure out emulators to play these games.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I played Cyber Shinobi, that game is a train wreck 😭
So this is what the Arizona auditors did in the past… the Cyber Ninjas name makes perfect sense now. I heard there is a bonus stage in the game where you put bamboo in voting ballots as secretively as possible.
Cyber Shinobi was certainly a disappointment, loved the first game.
Hi John and great to see you talking about the Master System and it is a difficult choice, I live in Brazil and the Master System here was a success. It was my second console and I have incredible memories with it. But talking about worst games is not so simple, here it ended up coming out games that didn't come out in the USA. Well, three of the games you picked are actually already on my list, Alex Kidd in High Tech World, Alf and Cyber Shinobi... YIKES! However, Tec Toy here in Brazil manage to produce worse games, such as "Ferias Frustadas do Pica Pau" which I recommend a good distance from this title, but for you it may be a novelty. But I would put Indiana Jones Last Cruzade on that list too, I was very frustrated with the acquisition of this title, because as beautiful as it was, graphically, its gameplay was horrible in my eyes. Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for your input love to read comments like this!
You missed my hero. What an awful game. I got game over in 30 seconds.
🤔 I love the arcade game. 🤯🤣 is the master system version bad?
@@gjergjaurelius9798 Yes!
@@gjergjaurelius9798 for the most part it's like the Arcade version, minus the continues...
The game Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. The aim is to go around battling baddies as Micheal and finding hiding children. It didn't age well!
Scary thing, I bought Alf and F-16 Fighting Falcon new, so paid full price. I did manage to buy quite a few games new before Sega pulled the SMS. For several years the only SMS games that I could find in retro stores where those in the Great sports line. eBay, and a fellow collector in the U.K. is how I've built up my collection to where it is now. I also have some prototype repros and a couple of homebrews. The great thing is that the SMS is not region locked, although Japanese releases used a different cartridge size in order to make the J-SMS backwards compatible with the SG-1000, SC-3000 and Mark III. The card slots are the same size, but the two consoles use a different version BIOS.
Think we can safely say John loves him some popcorn. Great vid!
Master system was my first console and I loved it! Had choplifter fantasy zone, teddy boy ghost house it was ahead of its time with the card and cartridge option what a great system!
nice to meet someone not from Brazil whose first console was the SMS, there are only a handful of us out there, at least seemingly.
@ShadowAngel "Burgerland" huh? well just remember that people in "Burgerland" help save you guys from your demented fuhrer back in the day, so show some respect.
@@UltimateGamerCC Here in Oceania Sega ruled over Nintendo too
Of course Alf it's on this video. Whenever bad master systems games are mentioned, Alf is always number one or on the top five.
It deserves to be on the worst 5 list for sure.
for good reason, i still love Alf, but his game sucks!
So it's Alf on the Master System and E.T. on the 2600.
Any other aliens I should avoid?
@@mvl71 hmm... not off the top of my head, no.
I got Alex Kidd in High Tech world with a shoebox full of other games when I was 5 or 6... I didnt make it out of that apartment building until i was 9. Very nostalgic for me because it was the first puzzle solving game of its kind for me.
Thanks for the video, John. It's hard to believe some of these games actually made it onto the store shelves.
sadly every great console is plagued with bad games, you gotta take in the good and the bad, just like with life.
Yep some things that get pushed out are turds like John Hancock would say.
@@RedTabletTalk sounds more like what AVGN would say. lol
Hello John, I appreciate your channel. A fan question some viewers are dying to know! How old are you, 42? How about a review of Little Samson? Thank you!
Master System always seemed to me like SG-1000 with lipstick and dolled up.
funny you say that because it pretty much was an improved SG-1000, even being compatible with SG-1000 games, at least with the first version of the console with the card slot.
@@UltimateGamerCC exactly! That’s what I meant, you said it better. It had good 8-bit graphics, but everything else - game design, logic, computational power, seemed old school or last-gen to me.
I thought that the Master System’s card slot was a super cool feature (now I know it was a gimmick) and I was eager to get a card game. It was unfortunate that the first card game I bought was F16 Fighting Falcon. Man, talk about buyer’s remorse.
I wouldn't say it was a gimmick exactly? It was to make it backward compatible with the SG-1000 before it which had teeny tiny capacity on the cards. I think it was only 256k max? Hang on isn't bad on card though. Transbot on the card is far and away the worst master system game I've ever played. Like R-type but only has 2 levels. Some people like it which I'll never be able to get my head around...
@@mattjames6349 Ok, I wasn't aware of the backward compatibility. Thanks for the info.
@@MrCumstein no worries. I just have a lot of time on my hands to know this stuff! Have a great weekend!
Great video the Sega Master System ah memories subbed and liked
5:00 F-16 was a sg1000 port, which explains the graphics. Most card games did not use the full capable of the MS. Many were conversions from sg1000 with no upgrades
Dude, u gotta play Sitio do Pica Pau Amarelo (the yellow woodpecker farm), Castelo Ra tim bum (Ra tim bum castle) and Ferias Frustradas do Pica Pau (Woody woodpecker frustrated vacation), these are 3 terrible brazilian games developed on the 90s by Tec Toy (a brazilian company), they would figure on this list for sure. And yes, I am a brazilian and I admit those games are pure crap
I had Great Baseball as a kid and enjoyed it :)
I loved Great Baseball back in the day. It's doesn't hold up now, but in the 80's it was a fun but simplistic, bare-bones game of baseball.
Actually owned a couple of those games! Before I watched this I had a quick think about what would be in the list and F-16 was the first that came to mind. I've got a soft spot for Hi-Tech world despite its flaws and bizarre nature. Was such a difficult game to complete and I spent weeks trying to get all those map pieces. A friend of mine finally completed the first level and gave me the password, but obviously the passwords were just randomised for each copy and it didn't work for me! Think that was the first time I ever rage quit a game!
Dude I love these. Keep em coming
I love how personally offended John looks in the thumbnails.
Kind of like a Viking! LOL
I thought he was taking a deuce, lol.
@@acdc09 yep he’s taking a Viking shit! Errrrrr!
Championship Hockey looks suspiciously like EA Hockey on the Megadrive...in fact I've just read it was an official EA port, it just obviously turned out so bad they didn't want to put their name to it.
Some of those games in the Great sports line were not all that bad; me and my uncle used to have epic low-scoring duels in Great Baseball which was a lot of fun. Great Football was stupid as a single player game but not bad playing two-player since you actually got to play defense then. Great Basketball was kind of silly but also had its charm and the game-play was fine.
Great golf was awesome!
@@derekzicari2181 Great golf was awesome and fun
The other bad thing about Cyber Shinobi is that when you die, they don't restart the Timer yet make you start from the beginning of the Level.
The game I hated most on the master system was Bonanza Bros. A family member came to my house to see me for my birthday and bought me it as a present so my dad set up my mater system in the living room on the main TV and I was expected to play on it for as long as my relative was there. It was a horrible game, I tried to go and play outside but was told by my dad "they were good enough to buy if for you, you're playing on it". I think I was around 13 or 14 at the time and I ended up pretending to be ill and going to bed around 6 on my birthday.
I haven't played most of the other Great sports games but I actually liked Great Baseball.
A lot of people thought Ghost House was a bad game....You know, the ones who didn't read the instructions. The game is super hard.
When I was young I traded my copy of Time Soldiers for F16 Fighting Falcon. It was not a good trade. I was not a smart kid.
Well we can say 1 kid got the deal of the day lol
Good luck find those silly card games back in day go in that card slot
The turbografix-16 also used cards for their games.
It's interesting to see F-16 Fighting Falcon on this list. That was the first purchased game (I say this because technically my first SMS game was Missile Defense 3D, packaged with the console) I got for the system. At the time I really loved it, as it was the first flight sim I'd ever played, but yeah...it has not aged well at all.
Does anyone know which emulator would be best for Playing “the New Zealand story” and “ bubble bobble “ ?
The Master System is my childhood, I still own the same console I got in 1988 when I was 6. It works well, even play it once in a while. The console really did have some horrible games...but some real jems too. Thanks John.
My Friend owned a SEGA Master System and had Alex Kidd in Miracle a world. One of the Master System games I had a lot of fun playing when I would go over to his house. I owned a NES and I figured Alex Kidd game was SEGA's answer to Nintendo's Mario.
I don't know if I like the Cyber Shinobi or if it"s pure nostalgia :-)
I was always curious about the master system, I had a genesis and nest, ended up getting power base converter, Alex kid miracle worldnis great
Nothing will ever top "20 em 1", the Brazilian Action 52 type compilation for the Master System. Makes Action 52 look like Super Mario All Stars.
lol can confirm that i like Action 52 a lot more than 20 em 1, wow that game is the most basic of basic.
I like how the hockey game with the US team on the cover never came out in the US.
I purchased f16 fighting falcon when it was originally released way back when. I literally put that game on the shelf a handful of games later. Just terrible lol. Out of all the card slot games call me crazy but I absolutely loved spy vs spy. Maybe it was my love for mad magazine but I always had fun playing my cousin at family gatherings when we were young. Shinobi I really loved as well
As a kid I always wanted this system to go with my Nintendo. I never got one until long after the system came out. I missed out on a lot of games that are entertaining to play back then.
In my opinion Cyber Shinobi was not too bad. It's a playable Game. I finished it in the nineties and then I found it entertaining.
Bought my Master System (Model 1) before I bought my first NES. Over the years I've bought 5 NES consoles. Only the top-loader (Model 2) still works. The other 4 need replacement pins, a design flaw of the Model 1 (toaster). Meanwhile, my original Master System and my imported Japanese SMS still work great.
We had Alex Kidd in Hi Tech world. It sucked. My mum called Sega to find out how to get past the first level, then did the same for the last one because how you win is so obscure nobody in their right mind would ever get it.
Our cousins had The Cyber Shinobi. I guess we were just unlucky.
I remember there was a sega football game where if you did QB Sneak play you could touchdown every single time.
Love the sms....even a bad game is well worth adding to the collection and playing 😉
Nice one John
4:13 You just know a game is going to be bad when the front cover is a picture of somebody holding the game
Weren't there a few covers like that? Mostly card games.
Master System box art was notoriously bad.
Black Belt springs to mind and the Pro Wrestling cover was especially hilarious.
I wish I had Alf game when I was a kid in the 80s bc I would have loved it since I loved anything related to Alf.
Remember Alf? He is back, in pog form!
@@louistournas120 what is pog?
@@tomhools1605 I'm not sure. I only remember the commercials from the 90s. They seemed to be these round cardboard pieces with pictures of Alf on them. They were 5 cm in diameter and children collected them.
That warning for Alex Kidd comes 30 years too late. xD
Great work John. Keep it up!
Oh, boy! I don't remember Cyber Shinobi benig that bad. Plenty SMS games that are worse than that game.. But I do understand that this one didn't live up to the expectations built up by the original Shinobi.
you may not remember it that way because at the time it was still pretty mind blowing, but the choppy frames, bad gameplay design and more really make the system look bad, like REALLY bad.
I had Alex kid in High Tech world. It drove me nuts to say the least.
That hockey game makes me appreciate Wayne Gretzky Hockey for the NES.
I had (might still have) the master system adapter that went into the genesis system. Phantasy star was the one game I remember playing on it.
Imagine playing this alex kit game as a kid, not knowing a single word in english lol
Master System II was my first console and have a lot of fond memories of it,
some bad ones as well of course.
I had the following games: (That I can remember atleast. :P)
Alex Kidd in Miracle World (Built in)
Aztec Adventure
Teddy Boy
Fantasy Zone
SMS was the first game console I had, and the games I had were Ghostbusters, Altered Beast, After Burner, Hang on, Spy vs Spy and that F16 game lol
Gosh, I remember when I got Great Football as a teen....I was soooo pissed. It simply wasn't football to me. You had such little control in what happened, long TDs were pretty much impossible, all of it ticked me off after having "Great" expectations.
I never even knew that there was an ALF game for the Master System until I happened to watch one of the AVGN's videos a few years back. And after I've sat down and played the game, I wish I never knew of it's existence. What an utter abomination and waste of a license!!!
i ended up experiencing it as a kid, boy did i feel ripped off!
Cyber Shinobi is the mistake we don't speak of Shinobi and revenge of Shinobi are classics! Great review John! These are some some stinkers with extra stinkers on em! One game had a grid as the floor layout smh!
I feel like the Sega Master System is the console that "Big Nostalgia" has mostly ignored (except for a handful of games like Phantasy Star and Alex Kidd in Miracle World). I wanted to see if there were any cheap clone consoles to play my cartridges on, considering that I haven't been able to get my Master System to power up in at least a decade, but the Genesis/Mega Drive clone Mega SG console seems to be the only clone console option and that one's expensive (~$190 U.S., probably worth it but I don't have that kind of money to spend on a console mainly to play Master System games; I still have a working Genesis).
You could always try and find a third party Mastersystem for your Genesis instead. The real ones can be expensive though I think, especially the slimmer model 2 adapter.
But there are third party versions of the model 2 adapter.
the reason that it got mostly ignored is because in the US most passed up the SMS for an NES, SEGA was slaughtered in the US market.
@@UltimateGamerCC I know that (though I think the Master System was a little more popular here in Canada compared to the US) but I'm surprised that there's not much in the way of clone consoles with cartridge slots for other parts of the world where the Master System was a lot more popular, especially Brazil and Europe.
Glad to be back to watching your videos!
I rented Alex Kidd in hi-tech world a few times as a kid and never got out of the first level lol. Always wanted to know what was outside of the house
The worst game I owned for the SMS back in the 80s is Missile Defense 3D. It's impossible to aim at a 3d object reliably. Plus there's only one pair of shutter glasses so everyone else in the same room gets a headache from the mess that is on the TV.
This man would love Darbian's streams on Twitch where he speedruns Alf.
i watched a YT speedrun of Alf done in mere minutes, i would have to find it again to link, but yeah needless to say i was shocked in awe.
I always hated Dynamite Dux.
I actually enjoyed Alex Kidd in High Tech world. While it was a little confusing as a kid to get through parts of the game, once you figured it out it wasn't too bad, but I can see why some don't like it. Once you play some of the tectoy releases most of the official games aren't bad at all.
Wow, that Championship Hockey game looks like something from the Atari 5200 days.
I did play em all, they where terrible for sure. I remember as i kid, i was i diehard fan of turtles, and we got the first game on NES. I was so mad when i got to the sewers, i started to cry in frustration. It was suposed to be the weekend of my life.. But it ended in the worst weekend in my childhood.
The Master system console was just like instantly loading up a zx spectrum game.
I remember F16 and telling my cousin it was S*** out loud just as his mom walked into the room, doh....
Alf grabs a cat in the kitchen. Seems just like the show. Then he goes in the caves with bats and out on the streets in public in broad daylight. Just like every episode of the show... as much as Nintendo's BTTF games were just like the movies.
That's b.s! I've never owned a Sega Master system before, but I've NEVER heard of when you put armor on, it instantly kills you. Either that armor is cursed, or I don't know what the hell Sega was thinking when they made that game. Just wow....
well you see Alex is trying to get to the Arcade before it closes, and being stuck in the heavy armor means he's stuck there until he's found, which makes it a game over because the day would end before getting out of that thing. so yeah it's not "death", but narrative wise it's close enough... and that's only one of the possible game overs in that first level, there are several and Kidd me experienced all of them.
That's the worst box art ever. Literally a picture of the cartridge which also has no art
F16 Fighter confused the heck out of me as a kid...impossible to know what's happening or even try to figure the mess of a game out, and the droning sound was annoying af
Never cared too much for F16...
Back then I had F15 Strike Eagle on the C64.
Later I got F22 Interceptor on the Sega 16bit .
I have good memories of these games.
I got F-16 one Christmas, it was so bad i made my dad exchange it for afterburner on Boxing Day
