There's Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic Chaos for the SMS. Sonic 1 and 2 are like the GG-versions, and not like the Genesis versions.

i realize this topic is about a month old, but i just found this forum and as a longtime owner of both a NES ('88) and SMS ('92) i wanted to make a few comments.
yes the 8 bit sega had some dismal games, but so did the Nes (tons of them, in fact).
I'd like to compare the RPGs because i play a lot of them. the old sega is at least as good, if not better, than the nintendo as far as role playing games go.
what are the best nes rpgs? you have Final Fantasy, Ultima Quest of the avatar, Dragon Warrior 2-3, the Legand of Zelda and a few others, like Faria, Dungeon Magic, etc
on the Master system you have Phantasy Star, Ultima 4, Y's The Vanished Omens, Golden Axe Warrior, and some lesser rpgs like Kings Quest, Miricle Warriors, and Golvinus (sp?).
Phantasy Star is a huge 4 mega bit game with 3D dungeons that the NES could never diplay and is easily as good as Final Fantasy.
I'd say that Golden Axe Warrior is equal to Zelda (i know this is a bold claim, but seriously, GAW kicks ass!), the Ultimas are tied (the nes has cleaner graphics, the sms is truer to the computer game) and Y's can match anything a Dragon Warrior game can dish out.
a far as other games go, the sega has a lot of great platform titles (the Micky Mouse series, Wonderboy games, Alex Kid, Ghouls and Ghosts), fighting games (_2 PLAYER_ Double Dragon, Motal Kombat 2), and a lot of others like Zillion, R-Type, Penguin Land, Time Soldiers. The sms did have a superior system capabilities but rarely stood out except for a few games like Sonic Blast that blow the nes away and look like 16 bit graphics.
don't get me wrong, i grew up playing Life Force, Mario Bros, River City Ransom, Metal Gear and Dragon Warrior; but i get mad when people bash the SMS and i feel it's at least as good as the NES and has a better ratio of quality games.

So now I am getting roms to use with my SMS Emulator, what games do you all suggest?

I got a SMS emulator called Mekaw. Anyway I was playing around with the controls (love the way it is, check it out) and I saw in the option area a box to check that said Mario is not a fat plumber... So I clicked the box (need to stick up for the NES icon) and a saying appeared at the bottom. "You cannot deny facts" I just busted a gut laughing. Also anyone see a similarity between the first wonderbow and Adventure Island by Hudsan? Please tell me I am not the only one who noticed it...oh well time to try other SMS roms I Downloaded. Oh and this emulator also play's Game gear games, coloecovision (sic) and some other system. Like I said check it out and see what you think. NES Rules.
