Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.
Item Description
Forget starfighters: in Cloud Master, the hero takes to the sky on a cloud. Mike Chen rides it through a scrolling world inspired by Chinese myth and folklore, firing energy balls at a parade of flying oddities that feel closer to a storybook than a sci-fi shooter. The game began as Hot-B's 1988 arcade release Chuka Taisen, published by Taito, and Sega brought it to the Master System in 1989 in a conversion by Opera House.
Underneath the whimsy sits a classic arcade shooter. Power-ups boost both the strength and the speed of Mike's shots, so a run builds steadily from a modest pea-shooter to a screen-clearing barrage, and each stage builds to a mini-boss and then a main boss, giving every level two showdowns instead of one. The mythological setting shapes the enemy designs and backgrounds, and it gives Cloud Master a personality that stands apart from the space shooters crowding store shelves at the time.
The idea had more staying power than most players realize: Cloud Master was remade for the Wii in 2008 as The Monkey King: The Legend Begins, two decades after the original hit arcades. On the Master System it offers a colorful, lighthearted change of pace from lasers and asteroids, a shooter where the hero's ride is a cloud instead of a spaceship, and a fun reminder of how many unusual arcade conversions found their way onto Sega's 8-bit console.
