My favorite Master System:
Phantasy Star
Zillion
Impossible Mission (Commodore 64 is a better port though)
Honorable mentions: Golden Axe Warrior (Zelda clone), Vampire: Master of Darkness (Castlevania clone).

Uh, for Genesis my list would be too big lol
I absolutely love Shadownrun (completely different game from the SNES version, both are awesome but I prefer this one)
If you like Alien³ you will most probably like Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park Rampage
Kid Chameleon, Landstalker and Beyond Oasis are pretty good exclusives

Phantasy Star and Shining Force series are great RPGs. Streets of Rage 2 is an awesome Beat'em Up, and so is the whole series. Golden Axe series also quite fun. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist is a shorter and tougher version of SNES' Turtles in Time. Contra Hard Corps is also pretty tough and very fun. Castlevania Bloodlines too. Some other worth checking Gunstar Heroes, Alisia Dragon, Mega Turrican, The Killing Game Show, Vector Man 1 & 2, Comix Zone.

In general, even though I hate the characters, Disney games are great. Mickey's Castle of Illusion and Land of Illusion for Master System, the Castle of Illusion version for Genesis and also World of Illusion, and Quackshot, are all quite good.
