Happy birthday! Recently followed after enjoying your music playing through various Alex Kidd hacks. Hope this secret room I found is a fun reminder

Screenshot of a secret room in Alex Kidd 2, a mod of the original Sega Master System game. The wall in the room reads, "Music by Nicole Marie T. Not only did she compose amazing original music, but she learned to use new software to produce it. I cannot thank her enough."

Ultima IV for the Sega Master System for me, hands down. Probably a PC game to many, but such a brilliant SMS game.

Intro cutscene of Ultima IV for the Sega Master System showing a serene scene of nature alongside a river with a circle of standing stones near the riverbank that just magically produced an amulet, map, and two books. The screen instructs the player "(No, really! Read the Book of History!)"

Perfect timing for my to have got video streaming to CRT working. Lovely 10:9 aspect ratio (nice!) so I do oddly have side borders 😂 Great video as always. Trying to play Kanto between streetlights in a car is foundational absolutely

Cecilily's video Nintendo called FRLG the "ultimate Kanto games". I disagree.

Lucky Dime Caper. Can't remember the stage but lava. Hot!

Happy to help. Just finished listening to the track and it's really great. Sort of captures the epicness of the version from my childhood memories. Any excuse to replay Sonic 2 again 😀I continued on and got the good ending and all!

Kiki's art is absolutely amazing, and Ashes to Ashley is a brilliant heart warming story about a brave and joyful bunny girl. Anytime I see her art I usually end up thinking about it in the back of my mind later. Inspired enough to try to make some SMS Ashley fanart. Drawing is fun!

Excited to get my zines and stickers from @deeliteyears.bsky.social in the post today. The SMS2 has never looked so good. After many runs of Maxim's ZEXALL Z80 test, and opening up the console, I can also confirm, there is indeed a Zilog branded chip inside! Thanks Dee! #zine #Sega #MasterSystem

Wonder Boy 3 Fox-man confirmed! Look at them on the right 😂

Imagine taken from SMSPower of a supposed rumoured secret character in wonder boy 3 called Fox-man. Rumoured to unlock on secret inputs at the end of the game

Fully agree. Also reminded of some podcast where someone made the observation, "See that Sandopolis Zone back there? You can go there (In Sonic and Knuckles 😏)"

Instantly reminded of this old bible I have from childhood. IIRC this 100% unofficial guide came with a "100% official" Red/Blue Guide back before they released in Ireland. Used to read it all the time before I got the game. Fields of Charmander confirmed! 🤯Somehow I don't entirely believe this! lol

The front cover of an old 90's Game Boy secrets book released before the European release of Pokémon Red/Blue. Titled "The Complete A-Z Game Boy Secrets! All the Cheats, all the Secrets! 100% unofficial". The cover has images of a Game Boy, anime looking Charmander, and N64 looking images of Link and Mario. Worth £9.95! Apparently :D

Page 118 of the guide, section on "Pocket Monsters". The highlight secret is titled "All 150 Monsters". It reads, "To get all 150 monsters you must have the blue and red version of Pocket Monsters. Play through the game until you find your first monster. Now go to the field with the Charmanders and capture one of them only. Plug in your game link to the other version of the game and press trade rapidly until you hear a tone. Look at your monster collection and you will have 150 monsters".
