Flicky was ported to multiple systems, Mega Drive, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and even the SG-1000, this however is an unofficial port of the MSX version to the Sega Master System.

Thank you, this might be more or less the same collection I found a while ago, this collection deserves preservation.
Yep, and there are some nice ones there, so don't be afraid to put new ones in the web if you want.
 
That is a shame man. Maybe someone saved those and dumped it in some repository or in some Archive.org collection.
Doubtful, I've been searching for months with no trace, not even to credit the group of hackers who did it.
 
There was a huge collection of MSX2SMS ports but unfortunately the entire youtube channel along with all the games and all information were wiped out about a week after I managed to snatch a handful, had I known I would've backed them up but at least I managed to salvage a few, I shared about a dozen to the repo already.

It's not just Flicky, Antarctic Adventure and Circus Charlie also have SG-1000 ports, the MSX2SMS ports are just another option, some emulators don't support SG-1000, and the Repo only has a section for SMS but not SG-1000 so these can be an alternative, besides, there are ports of MSX games that didn't receive SG-1000 ports such as Penguin Adventure and King's Valley.

Yes, they are VERY similar.
So much, it seems the same version XD

(Left: SG-1000 version, already playable using a Master System. Right: the new MSX port for Master System)

I don't know if porting MSX games to Master System is something normal, as it is to port Game Gear games to Master. But this Flicky is not the game people needed to be ported: Master System can perfectly use the SG-1000 version, very similar to this port, using a flash-cart (or the original SG-1000 cart/card).
That's probably the reason MS never had its own commercial version of Flicky, but Mega Drive does.

So... very strange project.
Maybe the author just pretended to learn how to port MSX games to Master System, which could be a very interesting proposition, in fact (if this is not already a thing).
MSX and Master System are no that different in hardware.
Somebody knows if more MSX games are already ported to Master System by fans?

It reminds me a lot of the Sega SG-1000 version of Flicky and even looks very similar in itself.

It's a long story, I only managed to snatch a handful of games before the entire collection along with the youtube channel was completely nuked, had I known I would've backed them up...
Ohhh... What a shame.

I'll have to check this out. I loved the Genesis version growing up.

Also wasn't aware of these unlicensed "MSX 2 SMS" ports.

Pretty much, this, Antarctic Adventure, and Circus Charlie all have SG-1000 versions that are almost identical to the MSX versions so the MSX2SMS port is just a bonus option especially since there is no SG-1000 section here.
