  • Sega released The Sega Master System in 1986. This is the unboxing. I'm sorry for the long video (6.5 minutes). I like to show everything in the box. Once again, lighting is somewhat poor. Anyone want to donate a good light? =)

    Aaah this was one of my very first consoles and I loved it. I got the Nes and Master System in 1986 which started my long winding road as a gamer. My Master System came with Astro Warriors/Hang-On multicart and two controllers (plus the secret Snail Maze game). My Nes was the Action Set and csme with Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt cart, grey gun, and two controllers. Very cool memories...
    Addendum- Thank you for making this video!

      I'm glad you liked the video. My first Master System came with the cartridge for Hang On & Safari Hunt. I'm not quite sure what happened but we had to replace the SMS at some point with another one. Though the console looked exactly the same, Hang On & Safari Hunt came built-in to the console. No more cartridge.

      My cousins Master System was like that and I still don't know if you can access the Snail Maze game if it has a built in cart.

    i remember getting this one back in summer of 1987.sure it wasn't as famous as the Nintendo Nes (still have both of these) but it boasted better colors and sound. if Nintendo didn't control half of the market i bet this could have sold much better...
    i liked the fact that games also came on the sega cards which was a unique feature(for the time) the sega master system is underrated like the atari 7800 they really never got a chance.. i still have mine and play it to this day. the master system had some great games.

    Where I'm from in the UK, everyone had the SMS. A few people had an NES, but the SMS ruled the playground. I've had mine since 1991 and it still works great. There are quite a few games I still really enjoy playing for it too.

    I had to watch your video to confirm the system indeed came with a cartridge. The one I got for one Christmas as a kid didn't include one for some odd reason and when we returned it, Toys R Us didn't have any replacements 😑 and that's the story of how I became "proud" owner of the Atari 7800

    • @JustinSalvato
      @JustinSalvato  2 роки тому

      Hmm, the first Sega Master System came with a 2 game cartridge. A year or so later, those two games were built in and they no longer packed the cartridge. System looked exactly the same. Any chance you returned that system before turning it on?

    You're welcome. The Master System has a special place in my heart because it was my first major console after having a Coleco Gemini (Atari 2600 clone). As for the Dreamcast, wow, would love one. Very impressive system. I see you're not a fan of Microsoft, judging from the $ symbol you used. Too bad. Microsoft makes good games, great hardware, and has in fact, been making games for a LONG time. They just haven't been making consoles games until the original Xbox.

    It's a shame that this system was cancelled early in the US. The last US game that came out was Sonic 1 in 1991. Here in Europe, Sonic 1 was only the beginning of many more good games to come, ones that really stretched the hardware (like 1993's Power Strike II). The last EU game was Smurfs 2 in 1996(!).

    Thanks so much for taking your time with the unboxing! It reminds me of when I opened up mine in December 1986. I was so excited. Always had Sega consoles. The Master System is probably my favorite out of them all. I did like Genesis, and really liked Dreamcast. But the Master System, something about the whole experience. Now believe it or not, I play Nintendo! Never saw that coming. I would never play Sony or Micro$oft. They are NOT classic game makers. thanks again for posting!

    This to me was way better built than the Nes. Especially considering they both came out the same time. Sega had it better with the top loading cartridges design, that nes model 1 cartridge load mechanism thing was a terrible design.
