My 14th Master System game: Psycho Fox (Vic Tokai, 1989).
A platform game I got peer pressured into buying. Got recommended to me a lot in SMS groups. Boing!

My 13th Master System game: Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap (Westone, 1989).
This was really hard to find in good condition for some reason. Curiously this game supports FM audio despite not releasing in Japan.

My 12th Master System game: Alex Kidd: High-Tech World (Sega, 1989).
Feels like a step backwards after Enchanted Castle, but then again this wasn’t originally conceived as an Alex Kidd game in Japan.

I return to 16-bit with Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle (Sega, 1989)

My 11th Master System game: Ys: The Vanished Omens (Sega, 1988).
Think Zelda but with experience points. It’s good! Also has a save battery. One of the last games released for the Master System in Japan.
The TurboDuo remake of this was great. Very good game.

My 10th Master System game: Golvellius - Valley of Doom (Sega, 1988).
An MSX Compile game ported to the Master System by Sega with enhanced graphics, basically a mix between Zelda 1 & Zelda 2, with top down and side scrolling sections.

A 4 Megabit (512KB) cartridge with a save battery, this game was a lot more expensive than regular Sega games at the time. This RPG should last me a while!
