    Golfamania is superb. I'd like to add to what everyone else has said - Zillion, Bonanza Bros, Casino Games (mainly for the game over sequence), Taito S.C.I, Alien Storm. If there's any Sega arcade games you like, give them a try because the MS version usually has different levels/features. The MS version of Bonanza Bros has some different later levels and all kinds of enemies not in any other version. That's something I love about the MS versions of MD games - often they were their own kind of remixed version with their own charms. Usually harder too!



    I just picked up this arcade stick locally at a pretty cheap price. It's a bit scruffy and needs a good scrub in the tub (and the yellowy buttons sorting).

      The Master system is the 3rd best console I've ever owned. It's such a wonderful and overlooked gaming system. Enduro Racer is awesome and I still have the 3D glasses and they're awesome

              I was playing Astro Warrior the other day, and I still enjoy it. A very simple but fun shooter.

              I will never forget how special Samurai Spirits/Shodown was back in the day. Such a classic.

                  I'm really tempted to buy a copy -- looks really good in the videos I've seen.

                          Lucky man. I'm still waiting for mine. Like you I went for the original Japanese style.

                            My mark II FM Towns Tower has completely died on me now. The CD drive is dead and the PSU is also dead. To get the replacement parts fixed or replaced will cost a lot but I was lucky to stumble upon a FM Town II Fresh. This is a much higher spec system using a 486DX CPU opposed to the 386DX in the Tower plus has 22MB of memory over the 6MB in the Tower. Sadly it looks very dull compared to the tower but actually works and had all the caps in the CPU replace a few months back. It was cheap but filthy though. A clean up later and it’s looking nice.

                            The top was covered in think filth. It was ground in to the metal too.



                            The front is yellowed so that will need a retro bright but it was also filthy.



                            On one side of the unit was this sticky black tar like substance. this was a bitch to remove but I think I got the worst of it off.



                            I gave the insides a dust too.

                                It should play all games up until 1995 really well -- including Doom.
