Title: SMS Built in Games Post by: atari_wizard on July 29, 2005, 09:24:28 PM i heard that some master systems had built in games. i have (2) of these puppies, how do i find out if i have one of the built in versions?
Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: CatchFiveBats on July 29, 2005, 09:30:50 PM Hold 1,2, and Up on the D-Pad when you see the Sega Master System Logo after you turn the system on. Mine has Snail Maze built in!

Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: CatchFiveBats on July 30, 2005, 09:27:46 AM That didn't work for me for some reason.
Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: thx1138 on July 30, 2005, 10:02:09 AM The very early SMS had a "hidden" game in it. The manual hints at the hidden game, turning the machine on without a cart in, did not start it. One had to fiddle with the control pad, like Catch Five Bats said.
I remember in around 87/88 we went to the shop in Brighton, and my friend who had figured the code out amazed the staff in the shop as he got a game up without a cart or card in the slot. It was Snail Maze too.

Hang-on Safari Hunt (light phaser) i have another sms that i can try out sometime, i hope its a different game. is snail maze any good? Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: den68 on July 30, 2005, 05:55:05 PM I thought Snail Maze was only hidden in the SMS that didn't have a built in game.
I have a few variants. One with no built in game, one with Hang On and either Safari Hunt or Astro Warrior and one with Missile Defense 3D Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: Izret101 on July 30, 2005, 06:29:51 PM Interesting...
I wasn't aware of there being that many variations. Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: CatchFiveBats on July 30, 2005, 08:42:26 PM I think the older model Master Systems required you to press 1,2, and Up on the Sega logo, but the newer ones didn't.

Then surely it DID have a built in game. ;) Over here, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, and Sonic seem to be the fave built ins. Come across Missile Defence 3D too. Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: Arrrhalomynn on July 31, 2005, 05:56:14 AM But sonic and Alex Kidd are in the SMS 2. Was that one even released in the US?
Title: Re: SMS Built in Games Post by: CatchFiveBats on July 31, 2005, 06:55:44 AM I think SMS 2 was released in very limited quantities in the US, but I could be completely wrong.
