Aside from the Amstrad GX4000, the Master System is the tech power house over the NES. The NES has a wide library of games, but the NES is also known to have more crappier games for it because of its popularity. Games looked and played generally better on the SMS. Think about Double Dragon as an example. The NES version was awful for two reasons. The graphical accuracy fell woefully short of the arcade version and you couldn't even play simultaneously with another person (which was the best part about Double Dragon). On the Master System, The graphics were a little bit better (but not by a whole lot), and two people were able to beat the snot out of thugs on one screen. The NES is by far the more popular system. But the SMS is the more competant system by far; there's no doubt about that.
