This #SegaSaturday itâs all about Adventure Role-Playing on the Sega Master System!
While the Sega Master System may be most well known for its 8-Bit Sega Arcade ports like Space Harrier, After Burner, OutRun, Shinobi, and Hang-On, or for its famous Platform games like Alex Kidd in Miracle World and Wonder Boy, it was also home to a fantastic selection of action, adventure, and RPG games. Some of the system's best-known titles in the genre include Golden Axe Warrior, Golvellius: Vally of Doom, Miracle Warriors: Seal of the Dark Lord, Phantasy Star, SpellCaster, Ultima IV, and Y's: The Vanished Omens. Each of these classic 8-Bit titles represent an offshoot of the Adventure Role-Playing genre.
For SMS fans seeking something in the action / adventure Zelda vein, Golden Axe Warrior, Golvellius, and Y's have you covered. Looking for a more traditional RPG / JRPG experience? Miracle Warriors, Ultima IV, and the influential Phantasy Star will be the pixelated route to take. Or perhaps you're looking for a hybrid experience combining Platformer and Point and Click adventure? Well, SpellCaster is just what wizard ordered!
With so many great games to choose from, what epic quest would you embark on first?
