Technically this is an SG-1000 game, but it can also be played on the Mark III. I have both so its no biggy, but I tried it out on my Mark III for a few minutes. I love the graphics. Very cool.
An old Japanese video game console sits in my living room and I write things about it here.

That's pretty cool! I've always found the whole "games on cards" idea interesting...
ReplyDeleteI really like the cover art, too, Sean. And the overall packaging? Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLots of old Japanese Sega games had great box art, don't you think? I love a lot of the box art created for Mark III games, at least. I've often been tempted to start collecting them, but I already have enough systems to collect for :|
Anyway, great find. Thanks for sharing it here :)
Love, Love Love! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you on the card board comment, what's even worse than the boring CD cases is todays plastic c*ap (see the cool GBA boxes VS the crappy DS/3DS ones).
I was always telling my friends how japanese boxes were way better than western ones and now they're basically the same (and it wasn't certainly Japan to gain anything with this...).
At least they some times do decent SE stuff (see the forth coming "Kiseki" game for PSP).
SKyrunner - thanks, games on cards are where it is at!!
ReplyDeleteBryan - I totally agree. I am officially on the hunt for CIB Mark III games (well...cheap CIB Mark III games anyway) because I absolutely love the cover art on some of those. Even my copy of baseball, the only Mark III cart I own, is great.
Dave - Yeah, I really do not like the cases that today`s games come in either. Very functional but not very attractive. True about the Japan/Overseas release divide too. The difference between Famicom and NES game boxes is massive (both have their good points, but for the most part I prefer the Famicom versions). With today`s games the actual art is usually a bit different, but they all come in the exact same plastic case, which is boring to look at.
I had no idea HERO got a SG1000 port - I sunk hours into that game on the Atari 2600 when I was a kid!
