So, i have every US title and 50 or so euro games. Id like to keep picking up a couple here or there, so tell me folks. What euro games do u love? What games are fun to play? What do u recommend? I have all the sonic games, wonder boy in monster world, master of darkness, ninja gaiden, lucky dime caper, simpson games, land of illusion, asterix just to name a few. Been looking at running battle, shadow dancer, shadow of the beast, danan, other 2 asterix games etc. Also, are all tectoy games crap? I have 3 and they seem poorly made, not to mention there all insanely prices.

Keep in mind not all Euro games work perfectly on an NTSC system - www.smspower.org/forums/12093-ListOfIncompatibilitiesAmongSMSGamesHardwareI'd avoid Running Battle, (I like it, but in a strange appreciation for how rough it is), Robocop Vs Terminator is a great run and gun game and a far better choice. Most TecToy games aren't too wonderful, Dynamite Headdy is an exception being a game intended for Euro release rather than a Game Gear hack I believe.

Well I've been playing NewZealand story lately and found it great , what about streets of rage ? You could go crazy and buy power strike II . The next game I'm trying is James Pond 2 , I think its got the best synopsis I've seen on the system , you got to battle the evil Dr Maybe and his penguin bombs . Back in the day all we had to go on was the cover and the synopsis so I would have been sold .

Its a shame that Operation Wolf doesn't work on an NTSC system properly or even in PAL 60hz (I still don't quite understand how it manages to play on a Tectoy console). It's such a great game, and the best home port.
James Pond 2 is a good game, and the sms port is really well done, not lacking much in comparison to the 16bit original. Much like other European developed platformers such as Zool, it looks great but it never really quite matches the quality of Japanese made platform games for level design/controls etc.

How is Ultima? Line of Fire? How much should one really spend on Masters of Combat lol? I have Ultima but have not given it a go yet since I figure it will require some real time. Line of Fire is too easy IMO, maybe it's better/harder in 3d mode, never tried myself. As far as MOC your best bet is to find a Brazilian release, cheaper and easier to find.

Line of Fire is a nice little game, and if you have the 3D glasses then I'd recommend it as it really makes great use of the effect.
Mortal Kombat is a good port on the SMS, its a bit choppy due to the way it works (think Golden Axe), but the game play is there. I'd say its between MK1 and MOC for best fighter on the console, Masters of Combat would win that contest if it had a bit more content.

Thank you! I have all 3 MK games and the first, especially the second are enjoyable. I did see the masters of combat is really short, otherwise i prob would have no problem with its price tag. I do have the glasses, so maybe ill hunt down line of fire now. Thanx again!
