Can you remember the first time you played on an SMS?
My first time was in a department store circa 1992. I was with my brother and sister and there was an SMS with Alex Kidd in Miracle World available for people to play on. There was no sound and, at the time, we didn't even know what we were playing, all we knew was that we loved it.

We ever had a Master System and we still have one (mine). So Alex Kidd in Miracle World is the first game I´ve ever played and seen in my life.

I can't remember the very first time I played the SMS as I was quite young. I do remember some of the first games I owned and played being Action Fighter, Secret Command and Double Dragon. Good times

1989, when my father bought the system for me. Hadn't played it before (and didn't even knew it existed), but had played the NES at my cousins' house.
Hmm, I do remember that I have a couple of pictures of me playing it back then, not from the first time I played the system but from that same year. Have to try and find them.

I remember my mate's brother who was about 8 years older than us, had a job and bought one himself. He said it was one of the first in the UK (SMS1 with AKIMW built in, so probably not true). I didn't really know what it was as I'd grown up without a telly, but we sat down and he let us play for a bit. I was hopeless, but hooked.

My brother got a SMS1 for X-mas, cant remember what year, may have been 1989. I remember seeing him playing World Grand Prix and Hang-on. Wasn't that interested at first, but got sucked in after a while, and played Choplifter and Alex Kidd soon after.

I think my first experience was at a friends house, he was called Jimmy, I still see him around but don't really 'know' him anymore. I remember it was an SMS 1, unsure of the year and don't really recall what games he had either. At the time I was quite happy playing on my Mum and Dads ZX Spectrum. It was quite a few years later that I got an SMS II and I don't think that was influenced by having a go of Jimmy's but my memory is pretty bad.

Hang on and Safari Hunt! With my twin brother. It was great! Our neighbors had the NES so we wanted a game system. We went to Kay Bee toys and decided to get the Sega Master System.

I cannot remember if I had a go on the machine when I first encountered it as I was invited around someone's house for a look,It had only been out a short while and this was a kid who obtained things very quickly (he did the same with the Amiga when that was released),I would say it was late 87 or early 88 a year after I left school .The game he put on to show it of was Enduro Racer which blew me away,bright colourful graphics and I knew as I walked away I just had to get one and sure enough eventually I got my own Sms with the card version of Ghost House 8)

I was 12/13 years old back in 87 and was the proud owner of a C64, an Oric 1 (don't laugh!) and an Atari 2600 (wood panel - Ah the prestige). The NES had been released and a lot of kids were going wild about it, but I was hanging on for the imminent release of the Amiga 500 which was to be the super machine of the universe. Then Sega went and released the Master system. Kids bought this system and started to mock the NES and so the NES vs SMS war started. Now I'd played some NES demonstrations in shops when out with my mother and, although nice, they didn't sway me from my Amiga dream. But then a friend bought a SMS and asked me around to play the games Hang-on (which was big in the arcade scene at the time) and a shooting game that used the light gun. That evening when my dad picked me up I placed my Amiga wishes aside (I got one in 89) and upon my birthday became the proud papa of a new spangly SMS. That was a great feeling!

Mine goes back to my old schooldays, whilst bunking off from a Spanish lesson I went back to a friends house who had a Master System and we spent the whole afternoon playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World. I knew I just had to have this machine, it was nicely priced and a realistic thing to beg my parents for plus it had decent conversions of all the Sega coin-ops I loved. I lived, slept, ate and breathed Master System from that moment. I still have that warm fuzzy glow whenever I use either of my Master Systems.

Ma 1ere expérience avec la master-system c'était chez un ami à l'époque (shinobi, sonic, safari hunt...sont les premiers jeux auquel j'ai jouer). Cette révélation ne m'a plus lâcher depuis. Comme je n'ai pas eu la console en ce temps là, la nostalgie m'a pousser à en acquérir une bien plus tard et à profiter à fond aujourdh'hui de ces merveilleux jeux.

Translation:
(My first experience with the master system that was with a friend at the time (shinobi, sonic, safari hunt ... are the first games in which I play). This revelation has me let go since. As I did not have the console at that time, nostalgia has me push to acquire a much later and thoroughly enjoy aujourdh'hui these wonderful games.)
