The Sega Master System (SMS) was Sega's counter against the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES); both were 8-bit, but the SMS was technically superior. It wasn't largely accepted because 1.) It had a weak game base. 2.) It came out at a time when everyone was enthralled with the NES and didn't need another console. 3.) When the rights form the SMS were sold to Tonka Inc. In 1987, they, for lack of a better word, screwed it up. One noteworthy thing about this console was the conpatability between the U.S and European versions of the console; you could play European games on your U.S console and vice versa (for the most part). |
