a lot of the screen is covered by the item menu and the sprites are much smaller, i got excited when i got it too, but it was a big disappointment

Great Football is really bad...like the single player mode, you do not defend, it automatic.

Anyhow, Golden Axe and R-type are two of my favs for the SMS.

..the best SMS games from my childhood and later collecting experience are...

as a kid and to this day -

Zillion
Phantasy Star
Alex Kidd 1
R-Type
Shinobi
Fantasy Zone 1&2
Gangster Town (light phaser, especially w/ 2 players)
Rambo
Wonder Boy - all of them are great

games that are really good i played later when collecting are -

Sonic 1&2
Master of Darkness
Psycho Fox
Ninja Gaiden
Alladin - maybe the best graphics on the system

the 3-D series is cool and very innovative. The best 3-D games are Missile Command, Space Harrier, and Outrun. I'm not sure if you can use the glasses with the converter though. Does it have a card input?

The converter does have both the card and cart slots. Later versions of the glasses were specifically marketed as a peripheral (the glasses) for the peripheral (the power base converter) so they certainly should work with the converter. Not sure about the light gun though. I've only found reference to one game, F-16, that's incompatible with the converter.
