[TK] Retro- Sega Master System II met 11 games

quote:

The system was redesigned and sold in the United States under the name Sega Master System in June 1986, less than a year after the Nintendo Entertainment System was released. The console sold for $200. The Master System was subsequently released in other locales and markets, including a second release in Japan in 1987 under the new Master System name. The Japanese Master System includes a built-in 3-D glasses adapter, rapid fire, and a Yamaha YM2413 FM sound chip, all of which were separate accessories for the Mark III.

By 1988, Nintendo commanded 83% of the North American video game market share[4] and the rights to the Master System in North America were sold to Tonka, but its popularity continued to decline.[5]
Sega Master System II

In 1990, Sega was having success with its Sega Genesis and as a result took back the rights from Tonka for the SMS. It designed the Sega Master System II, a low-cost Master System that lacks the reset button, expansion port (which was never used), and card slot of the original. The card slot was omitted because there were only about a dozen card games. Any card game can be packaged as a cartridge, with some of these re-released in this way. Since the card slot was used as a connector to synchronize the 3D glasses with the original Master System, the SMS2 cannot use the 3D glasses.

In an effort to counter Nintendo's Super Mario Bros., the new system included Alex Kidd in Miracle World playable without any cartridges. Sega marketed the Master System II heavily; nevertheless, the unit sold poorly in North America. By 1992, the Master System's sales were virtually nonexistent in North America and eventually ceased.

The last licensed release in North America was Sonic the Hedgehog, released by Sega in fall 1991. Some European games were still released in Canada for some time, though.

Deze 2 is juist niet uniek, de mastersystem 1 wel, die had ook nog het card systeem (mer 3d-bril uitbreiding). de mastersystem II is een nieuwer geproduceerde goedkopere versie.

spellen wil je zeker niet los verkopen ? (ik het de mastersystem en mastersystem II al)
