Sega's Great series gathers several basic sports simulations on Master System: baseball, basketball, football, golf, hockey, soccer, tennis and volleyball. Each title offers an accessible arcade formula with standard rules and modest AI. Honest for the 8 bit format, without the depth of later references.

Collector interest
A Sega ice-hockey simulation released in Japan and the US, where two teams clash in fast-paced sports action. Its desirability rests on that Japan-US distribution profile without an European release, more unusual, and its place among the console's first sports games. Collectors seek this title for that specific bi-regional marking and the relative scarcity of an early sports simulation.
