    Amazing how good so many master system games looked for the time. some of them looked like early 16-bit titles because the coloring was so good.
  • @kevinzalac8945
    Sadly, or not, I was a SEGA guy all the way until the company stopped making systems. They had so many great games
  • @JustMe99999
    I had both as a kid... the SMS was a GREAT system... it was capable of much more detailed and larger sprites than the NES; you can really see it on the "cartoon" games like Alladin, Jungle Book, Lion King. It's really unfortunate that it never really caught on in the US.
  • @ilkeryoldas
    SMS almost looks 16bit in comparison to NES
  • The Master System version of Double Dragon is what i was expecting when i got the NES version for Christmas in 1988 and was very disappointed.Segas version was so much closer to the arcade and had what i liked most about the game,2 player simultaneous.
  • @TampaTec
    I had Sega master system with light gun and 3d glasses and brother had NES. Games like super Mario bros, punch out, legend of Zelda, Metroid is what made NES better not graphics.
  • Wow, as someone who owned a master system and then transitioned to the snes, I had no clue how amazing it looked compared to the nes. Truly stunning and I had no idea lol. Miss those days, gaming felt more genuine and exciting. Thanks for the video.
  • @jrjefferson01
    NES has better sound , but the master had better graphics capabilities. Awesome side by side.
  • @mtubr
    Thank you for all your hard work. These comparisons are great and usefull for us who loves RetroGaming
  • Master system is closer to 16bit than to NES. Incredible machine, let's not forget it came in 1986...
  • @opa-age
    Wow the music on the NES Altered Beast is amazing
  • @yod1213
    The SMS is a whole generation after the NES, the NES was made in Japan in 1983, whereas the Sg-1000 was what competited with that. The SMS (Sega Mark III) was made in 1985 as a generation after the NES.
  • Tazmania on the SMS is very impressive as it displays all the colors and animations the SMS could deliver with almost 0 flicker. It really looks like an early megadrive game.
  • @animemaster4861
    With some of those games it's not even close like if you look at the sprites on heroes of the lance. Also it's pretty amazing how close that Master system Lion King looks to the 16-bit lion kings
  • Wow, looks like for a lot of games, the Master System was already a next gen console compared with NES
  • @spamman6369
    Amazing differences. I'm impressed with the Master System.
  • @f.k.b.16
    While the SMS usually has better graphics Nintendo always had a better legal team! 😂
