Fans of my channel may remember I did a GameBoy Advent Countdown a couple of years back & a Jagvent Calendar last year - a different mystery game each day of December. I thought I'd do something a similar this year for the Sega Master System - a console I have lots of fond memories of.
I won't reveal the game in the Title but in the Description.......well that's a different matter. Does anyone other than me actually read them?
This is E-SWAT: City Under Siege from Sega. It was originally an arcade machine, obviously influenced by the likes of Robocop where after a couple of levels of run-n-gun action your cop gets upgraded with cybernetc armour. I first played the arcade & when I got my import Megadrive a Japanese copy of E-SWAT on the system was one of my first games. However the Megadrive game was a brand new game based on the same theme. I later got the Master System game which is much more closely modelled on the original arcade (although heavily cut down in terms of graphics & sound)
It is still a fun port though & means, like Castle of Illusion, we got 2 different games in the series on Sega's 8 & 16 bit platforms - rather than a cut down version of the Megadrive game. There will be some of the 16 bit downports in the Advent Countdown no doubt.
It is a fun & playable game & well worth a look.
This is my original PAL copy from back in the day played through a Powerbase convertor on my CDX/MultiMega through a Retrotink 5X for ease of capture.
Expect a different Master System game every day. Happy Christmas!
