had this system when it was new, loved it, almost bought it at a convention yesterday, but picked up a colecovision instead, always wanted a colecovision since I was a kid in the early 80s..great video, I love your style and screen setup for the reviews, a very atmospheric review for retro games..kudos!

I came across your channel and I loved this video, congrats on this; you gained a new subscriber. I'm Spanish and I also had a Master System when I was 7, it was my first console (indeed, my first one was the Atari "whatever", however I gave it back to the shop and got the Master System which, in turn, wasn't the one I would like to get. I was pointing to the Genesis, Mega Drive in Spain, but the clerk took the Master System instead). Here, it was a Sega territory, just a few friends had the NES. It looked so shitty compared to the Master System that no one would like to get a NES. So, the NES' success was due to, above all, it was released earlier. I've always been a Sega boy until the PSX arrived.

Adding a little nostalgia to the mix, this is my favorite system. I still think of its games today. Y's, Phantasy Star, Black Belt, Miracle Warriors, Fantasy Zone 1 &2, and Golvellius, too many to list. Those were the greatest days...

Ummm...the Mark III is not just a redesign of the Mark 1. As you stated the Mark III was a Master System whereas the Mark I was more like the Colecovision in power...or was that the Mark II (they had one of those as well). The Mark I already had an 8-bit processor. I believe it is the same as the Master System.

The "Mark 1" Is actually the SG-1000 and there was an SG-100 II (cosmetic redesign only). The "Mark III" is in fact the Master System and that has improved graphics hardware. ALL of the units use the same 8-bit CPU, the Zilog Z80, a very common chip of the time.

Awesome video. I really enjoyed it.

[@alexanderbjork6451]

Upgraded to an 8 bit cpu? The SG 1000, Mark III and Master System all have the same processor: the 8 bit Zilog Z80 clocked at 3.58 mhz. Also, some of the games in the game play section of the video is from the japanese versions of the games, that's because it was only the japanese Master System had the FM soundchip which can be heard in those clips. One more thing: the Master System did better in Europe and in Brazil and many of the games were exclusive to Europe and Brazil.

This is cool, well edited but I'd prefer it without the constantly surprised sounding voice hehe

With the Master System, it really is quality over quantity. Although 300+ games is in no way a small library. One thing to note here is that, with the exception of Buggy Run, I think every game here is from the first half of the console's life. Meaning it's a choice from about 40% of the library. I guess it's chosen from the North American releases... Doesn't really show the full range of the games system. Missing out the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck games, Asterix, Sonic 1 and 2, Sagaia, Master of Darkness, etc., etc. I mean, Power Strike is a fantastic game, but no-one would ever choose it over Power Strike II, which many people consider the greatest shoot 'em up on any true 8 bit system. Still, nice video all the same. It's a bit of a pity to miss out more than half the console's library, especially as all the games released outside of North America are region free*. *Japanese cartridges are a different shape with a different sized board.

Excellent video!

[@Mariofans-gn1lu]

witch was better in the late 80s Sega Master System or Nintendo Entertainment System

[@HollowRick]

Depends where you lived if you were in the us then the NES would have been the better choice if you lived in Europe then the Sega Master System was the better choice

[@sands1609]

Mordecai And Rigby's console

My first console experience and golden ace warrior I know I seen that game somewhere else... Can't put my finger on it. I'd be the weird kid while all the kids are talking about Zelda I'd be asking if anyone played golden a e warrior. And probably be looked at like a complete dip shit. Golden ace warrior wtf is that? We play Zelda here. Ironically and this is true in the 90s less than a handful of kids I knew maybe like 2 even knew sms existed they all only knew Genesis but I believe it was where I lived out in the Styx which is why it was unheard of here
