Plug N’ Play Master System
Posted by Gill Figno. Filed under News, Retro. Tagged with Master System.
A few days ago I was browsing TecToy’s site, a company that releases Sega games in Brazil. I noticed this baby, but didn’t think much of it because I was completely mesmerized by the concept of having Duke Nukem 3D on Genesis.
The Master System 3 is a Plug n’ Play system similar to the Atari Flashback. This means you can’t use any cartridges, you’re stuck with the games that are built into the system. In this case, I don’t think it’s a bad thing because it includes most of the best Master System games (Other then Phantasy Star and Zillion, which are suspiciously absent.) The system has 120 games built in, some of which never made release outside of Brazil, but a lot are Sega classics like Sonic, Alex Kidd, Shinobi, Golden Axe and Hang-On. It retails for around $93. Anyone picking this up should note they have a similar Mega Drive with 71 games as well.
The price may seem pretty steep for a few Master System games, but it averages out to about .75 cents per game and it’s quite a unique piece of hardware. For a full list of games, see either the link below or TecToy’s Website.
It’s worth noting that Brazil uses PAL-M TV’s so I’m not sure if this will work on US TV’s. Anyone know for sure?
