Best Sega card?

guyjin · 03/05/2008, 10:47 AM

they're like hucards, but 8-bit. pick the best one.

list comes from here.

Nazi NecroPhile · 03/05/2008, 11:14 AM

I thought they were called Sega Cards - where did MyCard come from? Anyway, the best use of the card slot was the 3-D Glasses, but since you're specifically asking for a card game, I'll pick Spy vs. Spy.

P.S. - Your link is broken.

You forgot Laser Ghost, Ecco The Dolphin, Psycho Fox, Dragon Crystal, Enduro Racer, Impossible Mission, Ninja Gaiden and Wonderboy in Monsterland.

Probably intentional, seeing as those titles are standard cartridges.

You did leave out Bank Panic, Great Soccer, Great Baseball, Satellite 7, Astro Warrior, Comical Machine Gun Joe, and Woody Pop; but I assume that was also intentional, since they weren't released in the good ol' USA.

I thought SMS carts WERE cards???

td741 · 03/05/2008, 02:21 PM

SMS games came in two formats... Cards and Cartridges. The card slot were dropped in the later revisions of the SMS consoles *(SMS 2). The 3D glasses also used the card slot for the 3D games found on carts (possibly for power?)

The cards tended to be very limited games (maybe quick ports from the SG-1000?)

Ghost House is teh r0olz, despite the jump and punch buttons being ass-backwards.

rolins · 03/05/2008, 03:44 PM

GULKAVE a Compile shooter for the SG-1000. I'm sure it runs on a SMS too.

I voted transbot!

guyjin · 03/05/2008, 05:05 PM

Transbot is indeed awesome.

hang on all the way!!

CrackTiger · 03/06/2008, 08:34 PM

I voted for Ghost House, because it is the coolest as a game-on-card that I had a lot of fun with back in the day. Its just not the same on cart. I also prefer Teddy Boy on card.

The Mark III SMS has both the card slot and an ear phone jack type port for the 3D glasses.

Card games are limited just because the cards could only be made in small meg sizes back then. Just as HuCard took a while to gain size and R-Type had to be split into two games.

Joe Redifer · 03/06/2008, 09:00 PM

They should have split Black Belt™ into part 1 and part 2 on two cards.

I loved how every Sega Card game had the same exact hand on the box holding the card.

guyjin · 03/06/2008, 09:27 PM

I wonder who's hand...

Maybe Bernie Stolar's from the future? Or perhaps Yuzo Koshiro's?

The hand of God.

Don't be silly, there is no god.

and even if there was, he obviously hates everything fun, and would never put his hands on anything as fun as a Sega card.

Turbo D · 03/07/2008, 03:02 AM

God wouldn't like that fact that I collect games. He would consider it worshiping idols.

Your logic has a fatal flaw: if you say God hates everything fun, then please explain boobies.

Women didn't have boobies until satan gave eve the apple; satan created boobies.

Perhaps, but God created Eve and flat chested ladies are still fun. Certainly more fun than a pair of disembodied boobies, anyway.

The Bible implies that God had forbade sex (they didn't think of their genitals in a sexual matter, they gave it the same regard as someone wearing a T-shirt). So unless you think sitting around and just talking is fun, then Satan created fun.

This is of course, if you choose to believe in that shit. As an agnostic, I'm only capable of saying "lol, dunno".

Bullshit, the Bible only forbids sex outside of marriage. Adam and Eve may not have thought of their genitals as strictly sexual organs, but that doesn't mean that they didn't use them (witness the many current cultures that aren't ashamed of nudity, yet still have sex). Besides, God only forbade eating of the Tree of Knowledge, which wouldn't have prevented them from enjoying oral.

Joe Redifer · 03/07/2008, 06:03 PM

God was a retard to create the Tree o' Knowledge in the first place. What a dumbass. I hope he gets shot in the face burns in hell.

God should be backing off soon, since the church has had to divert all its funds to pay off the victims of pedophile priests.

Obviously you didn't bother to show faith.

On a serious note, who is this seller you are referring to, by the way?

Joe Redifer · 03/09/2008, 05:50 AM

I was the seller!

Keranu · 03/10/2008, 01:10 AM

.

Joe Redifer · 03/10/2008, 01:28 AM

In reality the buyer was a very good individual who paid within minutes of the auction ending and received their game only a couple of days later, positive feedback all around.

Mark III stuff isn't widely circulated among "western" gamers, so much of the info about it is uncommon.

KungFuKid · 03/12/2008, 07:30 AM

Indeed, I've got a small markIII collection, but most games (except commons) and especially the accessories are hard to come by outside of Japan.

Sinistron · 03/12/2008, 04:14 PM

Going Spy vs. Spy here- though I played it on NES the other day and it was much shittier than I remembered. Used to love it anyway.

Ewww look at me- Roz Erback, bitches!

did you play alone, or with a friend? it's much more fun the latter way.

Sinistron · 03/19/2008, 11:59 PM

I played with a friend and was destroying him until I grew bored. I remember liking the second one more- with the punji pits and coconut bombs

Mobius · 04/14/2008, 06:21 PM

Figure this is as good a place as any for this question... I just got my first card-based game for the SMS, Ghost House. Is there a trick to getting these things to work? I put the card in and turn the system on, but I just get the instruction screen telling me to put a card or cart in. This happens in two separate systems. The 3D glasses work fine, so it doesn't seem to be the port.

Nazi NecroPhile · 04/14/2008, 06:27 PM

I'm not well versed on the SMS cards, but have you tried scrubbing the card's contacts? They're almost always the culprit on my Turbo.

Best Sega card?

Best Master system game released on a MyCard?
