Master System Review

Brief Description:

The Master System was one of Sega's early developed consoles, that is also known as the Sega Mark III. As it's secondary name suggests there have been many different variations of this console. The first version was released in Japan in 1985.

The Positive Points:

-It was the most powerful and had the best graphics for the early part of it's time.

-It introduced the 8-direction D-pad (aka hovering or floating D-pad).

-It's the longest lived console ever, starting production and sales from 1985 in Japan, and later across the globe, to 2015 in Brazil. Yes, if you lived in Brazil in 2015 you could get a brand new 30-year-old console... if that makes sense.

The Negative Points:

-Despite it having good games, most of the games that were on it lacked the depth of the NES games (it's main competitor), and/or were third-party games that could be played on other consoles as well.

Innovative: Yes

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Fair

General Public Rating: It's hard to say, I don't see or hear a lot of comments about it

Success: Very Success in Brazil, Unsuccessful worldwide

My Personal Final Rating: Good (4/6)
