Sega Master System is Reborn

Posted by michael on from the buy-one-get-one-free dept.

Nick of NSTime writes "Various sources are reporting that a Brazilian company is releasing a new version of the venerable Sega Master System, dubbed the Sega Master System III. The case is a radical departure from the old SMS and SMS II. The thing to get excited about: it will include 74 games built-in. The translated page can be found here."

    It has been a few years since I got tricked by a goatse.cx link. I hope your happy.

    The most common is NES emulators. You can find them at flea markets (typically) though the one in .roseville.ca.us didn't have ANY even though they had about ten vendors of crappy imported toys. However most of those are run by asians and I'm used to seeing the games in mexican-run stands at the flea in .santa-cruz.ca.us.

    The most common designs seem to be a SNES controller lookalike with ~20 games built in, and an N64 controller lookalike with ~100 games built in. Both run on batteries or a wall wart (not included) and have an RF out. I don't think either had a port for a second controller. I've seen one with a gun as well.

    If anyone knows where to get these things off the 'net that would be interesting.
