The Unexpected Truth Behind The Sega Mark III

[@ronch550]

This thing is oozing with 80s Japanese vibe. Very reminiscent of the Family Computer but looks cooler.

I remember a Mailbag in GamePro saying there was no Japanese version of the SMS. Show's how much they know.

Here in Brazil the Master System was so popular , it was a huge hit. It was so popular that even in the x360 era the company was still producing licensed clones and selling a lot

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

Yeah you guys got the Master System III! How about the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis did it last long there too in Brazil?

[@parallax8207]

@@JolliAllGenGamer yes the Genesis was called Mega Drive here, it was also super popular during the 90s. The distributor here ( Tectoy ) still make mega drive to this day ( of course it is not the original hardware anymore)

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

@@parallax8207 You serious? Wow, Brazil really loves Sega! Hmm now I'm wondering too if the Saturn and Dreamcast I'm assuming did well there too.

[@parallax8207]

@@JolliAllGenGamer unfortunately they didn't do very well here. The playstation really buried Sega hard

Nice to know the original Master System. It was my first video game console ever. I was so young I barely could play at all, lol. Games were so difficult. But I loved the light gun games, and the Sonic games.

RGB in 1985!!!! That is insane! I couldn’t believe it, at first but according to wikipedia the “ Model 1s with an AV port can also output composite and even RGB video”. In this year Atari was still on RF, and we were lucky to find a NES with composite in Europe. CRT’s with RGB were extremely rare in that year, i have to ask RetrotechUSA on this one.

I would surely clean that IPA alcohol or wait a bit before inserting, you can kill your system like that. When the alcohol is 99% instead 99.9%, it can still be conductive. I cleaned a smartphone like that, and it died.

WOOOW. That is the most bright white Sega Mark III i ever seen! They all turned yellow! 😂 I own a Japanese SMS. No worries about yellowed plastic plus i wouldn't have to pay a fortune for the FM sound module. Oh yeah i can use 3D glasses without hunting down a Japanese compatible adapter another thing that costs a fortune!

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

Thanks for watching! I am going to eventually get to the master system video sometime in the next few weeks because I’m still reviewing consoles in 1986 next

[@dream4playz]

Nice overview of the console, but I kept wondering when the hidden truth came. :p

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@jengelenm]

Thanks for showing, i didn’t know this existed. This is like the japanese version of the Master System, right?

[@JolliAllGenGamer]

Yup that’s right well the master system is based on it.
