The
Sega Mark III was the natural successor to the
SG-1000. It was
a vast hardware improvement on one hand, and a
far more viable attempt at competing with Nintendo's
Famicom
on the other.
In the performance stakes it easily matches Nintendo's
effort, but sadly it came too late to make any
kind of an impact on Nintendo's stronghold.
The Mark III does play host to some formidable
games, yes, but only by Sega. By the time it arrived,
Nintendo had not only sucured the services of
every major third party developer in Japan, but
had also locked them into exclusive contracts
that forbode them to develop for any other format.
So there you have it: the Mark III's only problem
is that there really aren't that many 4-star games
available for it. Sega produced as much as they
could, but it realy wasn't anywhere near the massive
quantities of titles that were appearing on the
Famicom. But still: for what there is, the Mark
III is really worth the detour. |

The
all-inclusive 'Master System' may look familiar
to Western audiences: this was the machine that
was pitted against the Nintendo NES outside of
Japan, where Sega found far more success.
In Japan it was the final incarnation of Sega's
8-Bit hardware. The unit was backward compatible
with all software, featured a built-in 'FM Sound'
unit (not included in its western release), and
a stereo earphone jack.
More info soon, and hopefully more items on sale,
too: Sega stuff always seems to sell out immediately! |
