It is a project set up at the FAQ Contributors Board at GameFAQs to give all Sega Master System games a FAQ. It was started by Masamune3 in the case of the Sega Master System but there are projects like that for other consoles too. DEFEND cities from never-ending nuclear attack in Missile Command! BASH bricks with a bat and ball in Breakout! Eradicate a garden full of mutant insects in Centipede! For the first time ever THREE classic arcade games from the past are brought together in ONE cartridge for UNLIMITED playability! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2- FAQ [A200] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= [1] [Q]. What are those numbers like [A300] next to the title of every section? [A] It is the search engine of this FAQ. Press Ctrl and F. Type in the search code for the section you want to go to. You should be there in two steps. [2] [Q]. What is the two-player option? [A] You alternate levels. The first player does the odd levels, the other one does the even ones. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3- Centipede [A300] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 3.1- Controls [A301] =============================================================================== >> CONTROL PAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The left and right buttons move the paddle from left to right and back. The down and up button work and allow you to use them in a confined area. >> 1/START >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You use this button to fire the bullets from your weapon. It is simple as that. >> 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This button isn't used in this game. =============================================================================== 3.2- Basics [A302] =============================================================================== Centipede is a lot like Asteroids and other 2D shooters. You play a small Gun Turret that can be moved horizontally and a bit vertically. You have to kill the centipedes to advance to the next level. If you are killed in the battle, the level starts over again. Usually when the Centipede gets down to your level, it is hard to kill the enemy at that point. There are a couple of ways to do so though. If it is a centipede, go down to the lowest level and shoot at him while he passes over you. You can kill him without much trouble. For other enemies, you'll need to lure them up and then shoot them from underneath. The easiest way to kill fast enemies is to go to the side of the levels and shoot them there where they come down. Otherwise it is wise to seek places with little mushrooms to shoot at them because you can break the barrier quick at those places. =============================================================================== 3.3- Enemies [A303] =============================================================================== Centipede would be an easy game if the only enemies in the game were the centipedes. They added a couple of other enemies too. They are usually faster than the centipedes and come directly at you except for one. You get points for everyone that you kill. Some enemies give more points in latter levels. If you want to see how each enemy looks, just let the game stay at the Start Screen to see them. _________________ _________________ / | \ | Enemy | Score | \_________________|_________________/ | | | | Mushroom | 1 Point | | Fly | 200 Points | | Snail | 200 Points | | Mosquito | 300 Points | | Spider | 300/600/900 Pt | | Starfish | 300/600/900 Pt | | Crab | 1,000 Points | | Scorpion | 1,000 Points | \________________|________________/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 4- Breakout [A400] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 4.1- Controls [A401] =============================================================================== >> CONTROL PAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The left and right buttons move the paddle from left to right and back. The other buttons don't serve a function in this game. >> 1/START >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You use this button to fire the Red Ball and to change the number of lives in the options menu. >> 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This button isn't used in this game. =============================================================================== 4.2- Basics [A402] =============================================================================== You can only move the paddle at the bottom and you need to shoot ball. Everyone should know the classic Breakout/Arkanoid by now. There are a couple of ways to improve your game. Don't move your paddle until you see in which direction the ball is going. Don't forget to calculate where it will go after hitting the wall and stuff. Usually, at the start of the game, it will come back to you or won't move far. You should try to get your ball on top of the construction when you can by breaking a hole through it. As long as it is up there, you'll get many points with minimal effort. You advance a level by clearing all the bricks on the screen. In the latter levels, you'll come across bricks that don't break so easily. You have to hit those two to four times. Off course, they'll give you fewer points than normal ones but you can hit them more too. The Brick Construction has a new form every level, there is even a level with SEGA spelled out but basically, every level is the same. =============================================================================== 4.3- Scoring [A403] =============================================================================== You get points by hitting the blocks; you also need to hit them all to finish the level so it is nice you get points for it. There are multiple colours of bricks and they each give you a certain amount of points. Broken means that you have to hit them multiple times. _________________ _________________ / | \ | Colour of Brick | Score | \_________________|_________________/ | | | | Broken Red | 5 Points | | Broken Purple | 5 Points | | Broken Green | 5 Points | | Broken Blue | 5 Points | | Broken Yellow | 5 Points | | Purple | 10 Points | | Blue | 15 Points | | Red | 20 Points | | Yellow | 20 Points | | Green | 30 Points | \________________|________________/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 5- Missile Command [A500] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =============================================================================== 5.1- Controls [A501] =============================================================================== >> CONTROL PAD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You have to use the Control Pad to move the Cursor. The Controls itself are pretty straightforward. >> 1/START >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You use this button to fire the bullets from the Gun Turrets. Don't shoot until you have aimed carefully. >> 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is the only game that uses this button. You have to use it to change Turrets when one is destroyed or out of bullets. You can also change if you think that one is closer to the rockets. =============================================================================== 5.2- Basics [A502] =============================================================================== You're part of the army that wants to stop the Alien Invasion Force. They want to destroy both the Earth's defence and its cities. They are launching multiple rockets at Earth and it is your assignment to stop them and protect the cities. There will be a constant was of rockets and sometimes planes will fly over you. It is your goal to stop them and you have the control over three gun turrets to do so. You can't wildly shoot in the air, as your amount of bullets is limited. You have to place your cursor in the path of the rocket and shoot when they meet. You should prioritize the rockets that are close to the cities and the turrets because you aren't safe either. You can be destroyed too. A good trick to save bullets is by destroying two rockets at the same time. The explosion of one rocket will destroy the other ones that are close too. If one of the turrets is out of bullets or destroyed, quickly change to the other turrets.
