The SMS is a true oddball. Blessed with powerful arcade ports, it got bashed for it with the usual anti-arcade trash talk like "with a few continues, game X can be beaten during one afternoon" or "game Y has many unfair sequences, where energy loss is unavoidable" etc. Evidently video game magazine editors never understood arcade games and never will. They sure know their creditfeeding, though.
Consequently many titles were criminally underrated, like the very good port of DECO's Captain Silver or the very ambitious port of Shadow Dancer. Anyway, the fact that it was so popular in Europe made it possible, that PALestine was endowed with some of the greatest exclusives, like Power Strike II, Asterix or Dragon's Trap, old Nippon could only go green with envy. A historical precedent, no less.
That's brilliant understanding of the SMS concept. Similar can be said about the SMS version of Ninja Gaiden, Enduro Racer or, maybe most prominently, Ancient's first Sonic and SMS Castle of Illusion, which both feature a different level design, such good ones in fact, they rival the Mega Drive originals, arguably even exceeding them.

MS/GG Sonic > MD Sonic
The Master System is an awesome system with some really great games.

Yup, although MD Sonic 2 > MS Sonic 2.
MS Sonic 2 is still a great game that deserves a playthrough though. Ditto Sonic Chaos.

The latter. You’d think that he’d take the hint after his GDEMU got cloned and started selling like gangbusters, but he’s doubled-down on his low-production, no waiting list philosophy.

That's unfortunate, as I'd love a Rhea for my Saturn in order to play some of the expensive games and pewpews. Good on you for getting it though, enjoy!

Yeah still no waiting list.
But the order windows are now open for much longer and announced at least a week in advance so they are much easier to get now.
Just a matter of patience really.
Dont get me wrong I understand the frustration of not being able to just click buy but he makes some excellent products and I am very happy with this and my GDemu which I got a few years ago.
Also cant knock his customer support whenever I emailed him with a problem he responded within a few hours.
The clones of the GDemu though are poor and do not have all the features or the ability to update.

I got onto the pre-order lists for the GDEMU and the RHEA. I had to be up at 3AM to do it. Still waiting for the GDEMU to arrive at 15 days in transit. The RHEA shipped 3 days ago to. We’ll see how long it takes for customs and USPS to get these to me.

Wow, sucks for him. But people obviously want these and someone needs to supply them.

My heart warms seeing all the love for SMS/GG Sonic 1. I was a Game Gear kid and played the shit out of it back in the day.

They're both black and white, but my favorite games (from my tiny collection):
Kaze no Klonoa: Moonlight Museum
Makai-Mura for WonderSwan
I've seen Gunpey recommended a lot too, but I haven't played it yet.

Gunpey is quite fun, I played a lot the Tare Panda version released for the WS.
I'd recommend also One Piece Swan Colosseum, it's a great fighting game that served as a base for the DS Jump Superstars series.

Klonoa is probably my most played game on the thing these days. Gunpey is my favorite though, it's great. Protip: get the original black and white Gunpey, not the color remake. Makaimura is pretty fun but not really worth how much it costs these days.

Devil Dice - just like the PS1 game
Mr Driller - addicting puzzler
Final Lap Special - formula and touring car with career modes.
I sold off all my RPG's, but Front Mission has full english menu's. It's probably the most playable RPG on the system.

Rhyme Rider was designed by the same game designer as Parappa (but a different artist from Parappa).
There's a half decent (by WS standards) Gundam SD shmup.

Excellent! Keen to hear how it runs, I’ve heard good things. Looking to get one myself.
