Mortal Kombat (Arena Entertainment) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

This is the most violent and addictive game I've played on any system for a long time... Believe the hype! If you love a bit of blood, it's perfect.

The Terminator (Virgin Games) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Top of the shoot-'em-up tree and one of the best Master System carts of any kind, The Terminator's a must.

Super Space Invaders (Domark) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

If blasting legions of space mutants appeal to you, this cart's perfect.

Alien Storm (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

An enjoyable, polished game.

Alien 3 (Arena Entertainment) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Alien 3's graphics are colourful and detailed, especially the Aliens as they creep through the maze-like levels.

Power Strike II (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

A decent shoot-'em-up that's both explosive and challenging.

Predator 2 (Arena Entertainment) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Although the basic game design is the same as Alien 3, Predator 2's bland gameplay and poor presentation make it the inferior product.

Robocop 3 (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

A good looking shoot-'em-up - shame about the lousy gameplay.

Sagaia (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Steer clear of this... unless you're a sucker for punishment with more money than sense.

Space Gun (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

A waste of time. The sound's scratchy and gameplay's boring. Buy it and you're a fool.

Super Smash TV (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

The coin-op and other conversions of Smash TV are fast, furious and wicked fun; it looks like the Master System one drew the short straw. Only die-hard fans of the original need buy.

Junction (Sega) (Sega Game Gear (US Version))

Another variation on an ancient puzzle idea. Too tricky and not enough fun.
