Unreleased SMS NBA Jam Port Discovered

Though the Sega Game Gear did get its deserved NBA Jam port back in 1993, as we all know, the Sega Master System never did, which does sound kind of silly, doesn't it? I mean the two consoles are virtually identical and the SMS was rather popular around Europe and Brazil, and, well, why? We'll never really know I suppose, but we might just get to finally play NBA Jam on our favourite 8-bit console. And love it.

As GameSetWatch recently let us know, SMS Power founder Bock has posted images of a just discovered copy of the prototype of NBA Jam for the Master System. It apparently is a fully working game, complete with the multiplayer options the GG version lacked. You can see more screenshots of NBA Jam SMS over at SMS Power. Oh, and apparently the thing will soon be released to the public. 

A bit of PD Master System Picross

It's an unfortunate and sad truth, but a truth nonetheless: the SMS homebrew community is far from vibrant. Or blooming. Or -of course- booming. And that's what makes the version of Picross pictured above all the more impressive. That and the fact that it's a brilliantly adapted for the Master System puzzle game complete with nice graphics and deeply addictive gameplay. You can download it from this place. For free obviously.
