Master System: Not for me? Or am I just not "getting" it?

Dang... guess I'll retract my recommendation on the SMS Sonic's.

You should check the thread where I ask people to recommend me platformers.

I think i might vaguely remember that.

Didn't you pretty much hate everything except Sonic?

And Mario and Donkey Kong . Actually I found some other amazing platform games, but not in the same "jump on heads" sub-genre which I was looking for at the time. Seriously there are very few Mario clones that are good.

YS and Phantasy Star I will look in to after I have spent more time with Golden Axe Warrior, as all three of these are potentially really time consuming games. They both look like games I would enjoy, though.

Ys is indeed very good if you like Zelda-type games. It's only 5-10 hours (probably more like 5), so it's not really that time consuming. Still... the TG-CD version of Ys destroys the SMS version. Then there are also more modern versions on the DS and PSP (also PC-88, MSX, Famicom, PC and Saturn if you don't mind playing in Japanese). Honestly, I say get the TG-CD or PSP version. You might like the SMS version, but there are better versions out there.

Phantasy Star is great if you like old school RPGs like Dragon Warrior II-IV and Final Fantasy.

I'm still going to push Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap on you, if you still haven't tried it.

Oh, c'mon, I'm not that...

Ok, can I take the title officially for now?

Grumpy_Norris you mean?

OK... I'm picky but I usually get called picky for not liking Halo. I don't think I'm all that bad though!

Hmmm... a buddy of mine has a turboduo and a fairly extensive library. I might see about spending some time over at his place if he has Ys.

Also, how on earth do you pronounce Ys?

I haven't. Will be sure to try it in my next round.

...The Sonic games... annoying music....

Whoa! That is some scandalous ass shit. I can forgive the rest (actually I'll probably forgive this too) but dang.

OK, I've always liked the main theme from Sonic, but the stage music I've never been able to get in to. But Sonic falls squarely into the style of games that I've NEVER been able to get in to.
