Does anyone else here a Sega Master system? I've always enjoyed my Master system. I'm not saying it's better then the NES because it's not.... but it does have a bunch of 8-bit goodness that only came out on the Master system.

I'm with you on the NES being a better system. But the Sega Master system has it's moments in the sun..hehe. Have you ever played Golvellius? It's a Zelda clone Sega put out but it's really good.

I used to own an SMS2. It had a sleek design to it. I really like the game Rastan by Taito. It's a straight forward sideview action game. It was really fun. I remember reading somewhere that the SMS was actually more powerful than the NES, but I've never personally compared the specs. Even if it was more powerful, I think their programmers were to lazy to make most of the games look good. I did have fun with the system, though.

Yes the Master System was designed to be more powerful than the NES, but it was hardly noticeable. I owned one back when it was the new system on the block and games were so difficult to find (mainly because of Nintendo's alledged refusal to sell their games to retailers who carried content from other rival consoles). Some good games are 'Zillion', 'Safari Hunt', 'Gangster Town', 'Rastan', and 'Golden Axe Warrior' (another Zelda clone). Never played 'Phantasy Star 1' or 'Y's' but I hear they're fantastic. As for SMS versus NES- it's no contest. The NES library easily tops SMS'. Except for the greatest 8-bit game of all time- that honor goes to Sega's 'Wonder Boy III'! ... No, I'm serious.

Yes, Sega hat its first console out before the NES.
The first console was the SG-1000 in 1983.
SC-3000 in the same year.
SG-1000 II came out 1984.
Mark III came in 1985.
The "Sega Master System" came 1987, the Master System II 1990.

I never saw a Sega system in the stores when I was little. That's why I grew up with Nintendo.
Technically the Sega consoles were all very good. That's definitely not the reason why it didn't sell so much.

In England the Master System was as popular as the NES from what I can remember. Funny thing is the only reason I got into Nintendo was because my sister got a NES for her birthday, but she very nearly got a master system instead. Just to think, if that had been the case it could have been a master system board that I ended up posting at!

Are there any good Master system forums? I doubt it. :wink: The best forums are for the NES. :P :wink: The best proof for this is here. :D

Well, in Japan the Famicom was released in '83, and the Genesis (MegaDrive) was released in '87, so really, the Genesis/MegaDrive was created to compete with the NES, and strangely enough, it's better than even the SNES even though I know I'm asking to get flamed for that comment. I'm just frustrated by the fact that the SNES is so terribly underpowered... #1 chip is (STILL!) based on the 6502 which was created in 1975, VERY old tech #2, it runs at stupidly low clock speeds, 3.6Mhz is it's top end speed, the Genesis runs at 7.6Mhz, and it based on a TRUE 16-bit CPU (I'm sure nobody can debate that the 68000 is better than the 6502) Granted the SNES can display 256 colours on screen at once with no trickery, it has just sickening slowdown in almost all but the most simple games. the Genesis/MegaDrive can display 64 colours at once (1500 and some with trickery) but a lot of games have no slowdown on the Sega console.

At least I won't flame you. I know that the Genesis is better technically than the SNES. But that doesn't matter to me. I love my SNES. :P
