Computer stuff -> Sega Master System
Introduction
The Sega Mastersystem is gameconsole of the 8-bit era, released in 1986 by (you probably already guessed it) Sega. Technically it’s pretty superior to Nintendo’s NES. It has a much fater CPU, displays the same amount of simultanious colors as the NES, but the total palette is much larger. It has the ability to scroll the screen in more directions than the NES and it displays 4 times as many sprites on the screen simultainiously than the NES.
The one I have is a revised model known as the Mastersystem 2, which is technically the same, but is smaller and had some features like the extra cardslot and status lights removed. It was released four years later in 1990
