the sega master system was one of the most underrated consoles in history, but the one that more than any other was a symbol of my childhood. I still remember when we bought it with my father, who told me that for my birthday I could also have a game. I chose Kenseiden because I was struck by the illustration on the cover with the samurai going with his head bowed against a flaming skull and other demons. Sometimes I was scared of having to face the bosses of the game, and I made my father defeat them, it is one of the best memories I have of the time spent with him, even now that I am 38 years old and he is no longer with us. Please GOG team, bring back this game.
