Very few people remember the Sega's answer to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Master System. Born in 1986, it sold moderately well, but was never a match for the Nintendo. Its most interesting feature was that it could accept two different types of game media: cartridges and cards. The cards were smaller and cheaper to produce, but never really caught on. Only seven games were ever released in card format. Despite its lack of popularity, it was still a great system. Games like Action Fighter, Alex Kidd, Space Harrier, and the original Phantasy Star are still referred to today.
Interestingly enough, the Game Gear was based on the Master System. This means that all the emulators listed below will play both Master System and Game Gear games. Two for the price of . . . well, none! Could you ask for anything more? I thought not.
This emulator is so good, you really don't need to look for another. With almost perfect emulation of both the Game Gear and the Sega Master System, this emulator is just amazing. It even has light gun emulation! Sound support is there, it just needs to be turned on in the options. Of course, you still need to download ROM images of your favorite games from the links at the bottom of the page. Have fun!
The only good emulator for the Game Gear and Sega Master System on the Macintosh happens to be fairly good. Master Gear lets you play games for both systems with relative ease. If your mac still runs System 7, you also need to download the Appearance Manager in order for Master Gear to run. As always, use the links at the bottom of the page to download your favorite game ROM images.
Note: Due to copyright laws, it is illegal to download a ROM of any game that you do not own, unless you delete it within 24 hours. These laws also make it difficult to keep up with functioning ROM sites and often these sites are not available. Game Revolution does not host any ROM images on our site, nor does Game Revolution endorse piracy.
