Lol that manscaped ad was hilarious.
@@mikedrop4421 agreed 🙃
Best Adver EVAR!!!!
Love the opening advert. More of this please
We need a separate video of the outtakes!
Who needs Netflix when we have Lady Decade!! Loving all the content!!
Outside of Stranger Things, Netflix is largely crap.
Smash or pass ?
@@MarkMcDaniel agreed!
I gotta be honest, I respect the hustle of the Manscaped ad. Made me laugh. Delivered with all the dry humor I expect from my Gin. Lovely as always.
I guess that Manscape gear goes to Top Hat.
@@tremelo8508 My wife uses manscaped stuff as well, so maybe not!
I can respect the hustle as well, but I am happily hairy myself. :P
Well if you listen to her, she does call herself Lady Dickaid!
This is one thing I have never ever heard about till now. It would have been cool to see this being released to see how it would have done.
Yeah she's really good at this stuff. I'm always learning something around here.
Fun fact: the system wasn’t called the Sega Master System, it was actually called the Sega Power Base (hence why the Genesis/Mega Drive add-on was called the Power Base Converter). After being sold as the Sega Mk.III, it was re-packed and sold as part of two packages: a stripped-down Sega Base System, and a deluxe Sega Master System bundle. But those were different ways the system was packaged, the system itself was still the Sega Power Base.
The Nintendo Entertainment System was also referred to as the Control Deck. ;)
@Mr. Garbage Interesting. If you bought a Sega Base System, would it have said Master System on the Power Base? And why call it the Power Base Converter rather than the Master System Converter, then?
Lady decade should be “Lady Decades” since she covers everything from the inception of video games to the cutting edge in her commentary.
Keep up the good work lass and stay safe!
Always interesting and very informative.
The promo…. Ummmmm … not sure what you’re going for here. Your previous videos might suggest you don’t want calls for Onlyfans but this one…
Again, not sure Kloe, but you do you girl.
I remember getting both the mega drive and master system 2 one Christmas. The master system 2 was from my grandparents. Man, I loved that console. I remember selling it at the car boot sale in the late 90s. I think I let a guy have it for about £3.🤦♂️
would've been fantastic to own a master system disk.
Cool I played some master games on a emulator including zombies ate my neighbors 😈
Oooooooh yeeeeeeeah!!!
I had both master systems n megasis systems wait i think i still got em at my olds house.. lol i dnt think they sold em😆
@@mikesilva3868 I've heard of that game. Don't remember playing it though. I'll check and see if it's on my pandora console. 👍
@@shenglongisback4688 the tower of power, too sweet to be sour! Oh yeah dig it! Lol.
Always wanted that first master system. I might see if I could pick one up.
Would be nice if sega gave us a mini master system. 👍
You sold a Master System 2, given by your grandpanrents, for lame 3 pounds.
You suck.
My first computer as a kid was the SC-3000, all those years ago. We also got the SF-7000. They don't get much coverage online, so it's great to see them in this video.
It's interesting to see the development of early PCs and the idea you could potentially have bought a gaming device and upgraded it to a full computer by adding modules instead of buying the computer and upgrading the gaming capability.
It was actually a common facet of early consoles/consumer computers. The NES' original Japanese name, Famicom is a portmanteau of "Family Computer". The C64 was housed in a keyboard, etc.
the master system has to be up there as one of my favorite aesthetically appealing consoles. I recall going over to my friend's house as a kid to play Rocky, Zillion, and other games. Picked one up many moons ago after the Genesis came out for maybe 20 dollars in a box at a junk store with a bunch of games, and for the short time i had it, it served its purpose.
Has to be the best advert delivery ever at the start, dry, full of wit and innuendo and very straight faced absolutely brilliant.
"Your balls will thank you!" - EXCELLENT!!!
Kudos for the most awkward ad read in UA-cam history...
Unfortunately for this one I watched it on Patreon before the ad...the ad fits her channel so well 😬🐢
@@greenkoopa , I am happy for you
What's awkward?
She's offering wares that will let you shave your taint and balls baby-smooth. I get that you might prefer to have juicy, funky, jungle gooch.. but you might want to think about switching up your thought process.
Besides, the ad wasn't awkward. Most adults can understand that adult themes are comical and fun.
I agree it was uncomfortable her doing the ad
Does this mean that Top Hat Gaming Man shaves his dingle berries? Yeah! Manscape!
As you surely know, but the Master System was very big in South America too, in no small part because of the Brazilian company Tectoy. Even countries outside of Brazil would get Tectoy produced consoles and cartidges, I remember my siblings and I asking for a Master System for Christmas ,but getting a bootleg Famicom made in Argentina, which was very sturdy and of quality, all things considered, since South American markets were flooded with very cheap Famicom knockoffs in those days ( ours lasted for our entire childhood while friends that got other other more low quality versions had like 3 different ones. At the time even if the TV ads showed the Master System more colourful graphics it was a blessing to get this Famicom ( dubbed locally "Family Game") because games were very easy to find and for much cheaper than the ones for the Master System. And it was 92 so by then the Sega MegaDrive (yes we also got the Japanese version and bootleg versions of that) was already on the market, but it was deemed still a bit too expensive for most of us middle class kids.
Me: I think I already know about every gaming console
Lady Decade: So the famicom 8-track adapter came out in the fall of 1988...
idk why it feels awkward to see Lady Decade doing the manscape sponsorship xD
women gotta keep their bush under control too
Master System videos are always interesting for Americans because the MS never gained traction here and was very much a niche product. Sega only really got our attention when the Genesis/Mega Drive was released.
I'm so glad YT recommended this channel too me, my cuz had a master system and his mum gave it too me with 15+games when he needed to study more, the best day ever. Not for him though :-)
Aaah, the good ol' "bowls" ad. The best here.👍🍻
i keep learning more everytime i watch these videos about lost systems
It cannot be overstated, how much I have learned, since finding this channel.
That secret Master system port had contacts underneath that plastic block... Love the Show!!
*As much as I've seen about all this stuff, you always seem to amaze me with something new! love it! Cheers*
That Manscaped promo. Well done @Lady Decade. The background setting and the background music really made yours the coolest advert I've seen for that product.
At least that expansion port can be used to add an FM chip to the Master System. 😁
To get rid of all my hair you would need like 6 of those kits and a whole day. It's hard being a neanderthal.
These are so interesting - I've never heard of many of them, and some of them are hard to believe!
9:24 They're bigger. I love this channel
Saludos cordiales desde Michoacán México viva sega siempre siempre siempre linda mujer gamer
Why did I watch the full Manscaped sponsor commercial with Lady Decade plugging it....lol. Great content as always!
wow again a awesome video again! i grew up by the sega ms,still got my first one. Got this one in 1986 ,then i was 10. Now i have a lot of sega games and consoles.
Ah. I was wondering what Mark III was. When I had a Japanese Genesis back in the day, the Master System module for it would show some Master System games as Mark III when it booted.
I NEVER knew the Sega Master System existed until decades later when people cared to notice it. NO SUCH THING existed where I was. No stores had it. But when the Sega Genesis came out it was a BIG deal around here. Most didn't have a Sega Genesis UNTIL the price was dropped to $99. I was one of the few that had one long before the massive price drop.
I knew Sega 8-bit games existed and of a console adapter that would allow playing Sega's 8 bit games but I didn't care. NONE of them seemed worth the cost of the power converter and effort finding the games. I knew of it and the games because a flyer advertising the power converter and some of the games came packaged with my model 1 Genesis.
The silly part of it is ... WHY didn't they design the GENESIS to accept BOTH master system and genesis carts? It was stupid, seems they felt it was a good idea to risk being in the hole with a bunch of unsold power converters rather than JUST cutting that cost while potentially selling more master system games with NO added cost. It didn't make any sense and still doesn't.
A lot of decisions Sega (and others, but mostly Sega) took back then make no sense in hindsight (the saying goes hindsight is 20/20):
-Sega developed a superior sound add on for the Mark 3 in Japan, One of the biggest criticisms the Master System gets is its high pitch 'tinny' sound and music, why didn't they just included the FM audio add-on with the base hardware?
- they released 2 add-ons to the Genesis, the Sega/Mega CD and the 32X(which used some of the chips that the Saturn got), looking back we know that each add-on split the userbase.
-the Saturn should have been backwards compatible with the Genesis easing the transition to 32 bit, and eliminating the reasons for the 32X.
-the Dreamcast should have waited to have DVD as its game media...DVD was still too expensive when the Dreamcast came out (98-99) but it made all of the difference for the PS2 which was the first DVD player for a lot of people out there, if only Sega could have waited...
I always love getting a notification that there is a new Lady Decade video!!!!
I'd like to bury my face in shaven, smooth, Lady Decade
The way you presented your sponsorship is top tier, bar none. Good on ya.
It's my understanding that the Master System was a huge seller in the UK 🇬🇧
This has been the best Manscaped ad since they came out!!!
I love hearing the Sonic 2 soundtrack in the background. As I loved the Master System release of Sonic 2.
That was the first time ever I didn’t skip a sponsor message 😂
How is it that there are so many console addons that I've never heard off before despite watching these kinds of videos all the time? That's why this channel is awesome.
Lady Decade for all your retro gaming obscurity & history needs.
Always a good day when a new lady decade drops
I reckon an advert for Manscaped, delivered in this way will help sales. British, sassy, slightly tongue in cheek... It works IMHO
I said it 3 times fast. I actually pulled it off. Bow before me, everyone. Kidding. I really don't care, lol.
I can't believe I've never heard of this. LOVING this channel.
Haha, "mysterious". Needed some photoshopped ghosts flying past behind you and the ancient aliens logo
Nice info here. I'd love to see an episode dedicated to the industrial designers of 8 & 16-bit consoles. I don't mean the hardware engineers, I'm talking about the designers of the encasing of each system we grew up (and still play) with.
Hello all
If it weren't for you LD, I would have never knew.
Thank you Lady Decade 😊
Superbly done! What a channel you have. 👌
Jesus Christ. I honestly thought I knew of every piece of Sega hardware ever made. It melts my brain how many thing Sega made even if it never made it to market. But this takes the cake. I mean the SG-1000 is one of the rarest systems. The SC-3000 computer is practically mythological but now there's something 1,000 times more mythological than that!
The one thing I've always hated about the Famicom though, I'd the hardwired controllers. At least they could have made the cord longer. I'm from the US and didn't really have to deal with it obviously, but I liked having the Famicom as well for the different games we never got here.
7:48 Holy crap that's a horrifying bodge. I don't think I have ever seen production device solder the tabs on a connector to a pin header like that before. At the very least they should have used flying leads to connect the tabs to the PCB, or better yet source a proper 90 degree connector. That.. thing is a cracked solder joint and intermittent connection waiting to happen.
Another thing that probably contributed to SEGA deciding against releasing the MS FDD addon would have been the levels of piracy going on in the PC/Amiga gaming scene at the time.
Best part - Shaven part. Well done)
I was a huge Sega Master System Fan and I never heard of the Disk system until now. Very interesting and thank you for sharing.
Very fond memories of the good old Master System. Was my first genuine game console after moving from the Speccy in the early 90's. Sega never really did have a good track record with add-ons, did they? The only real success, if you can say that was the Mega CD.
Great video Lady Decade, very interesting and entertaining!
This has never happened before. I saw me! :)
I've been watching your content for a while now and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks.
It's pretty cool to see your video here.
Very surreal.
This must be the best sponsored message in any UA-cam video ever.
So many oddball and wild things out in the world of 'what was tried then discarded.'
I have to admit, this is the ONLY Manscaped ad I've watched all the way through.. Curiosity got the best of me 🤔
The living Manscaping Add made me spit out my Monster I was drinking 🤣 well done!
BOTH the Sega Master System AND the Nintendo Famicom / NES were intended to have a floppy disk add on, only for such a thing to become redundant. Since the cartridge technology improved so much, there was no need for the disk systems, so the expansion ports go unused. :(
I had Nintendo and my cousin had the Master Sega in 1990 in Puerto Rico we were 10 but we were like Gods in the Neighborhood 😆 best childhood memories was playing those consoles❤
Haha that's a lovely little story x
@ladydecade
I've been an avid gamer and SEGA fan since the Master System 1 days so my only question is how do you know all this hidden history?
You're showing off some truely mind-blowing content.
The Manscaped plug made me laugh. Blew my drink out my nose. Love you. Subscribed.
You're absolutely blowing my mind lately Mrs Decade.
Great video!! Never heard of this before!!👍👍👍
Lady Decade must join forces with Game Sack and Sega Lord X!
After seeing the ad now I'm wondering if Top Hat Gaming Man keeps himself shaved and smooth
Very interesting lady decade never knew sage did this with the master system
I'm so glad this channel exists. I found it thanks to THGM, but subscribed cuz the content was different. A lot of channels cover the same game history, best of whatever, etc.. This one covers all the crazy rumors I heard when I was younger, way more, of course! A lot of this stuff never came to fruition, but we still got lil snippets that left us wondering what happened. Thanks for all your hard work clearing up the mysteries [and cobwebs] for a bunch of the what-ifs that came up when we were kids! =D
I’m interested in how this is SPECIFICALLY for the Master System and not the Mark 3.
Awesome video, loved it start to finish!
Wow, I gotta find out more about this Sega Golgo 13 game
And Mad Maestro looks so easy but is surprisingly, frustratingly HARD!!
Appreciate the original content covering topics that go largely undiscussed.
I love the way you present these unique videos! Another great one from the beautiful and classy, Lady Decade!
This is new to me, I've never heard of it.
Great video as always Lady Decade.
I found out about this video from the channel Joystick Division.
Good video!
Loving all the oddities. Thank you
lol top hat looks up "Did you pay for my present this year?"
you reply..."yes babe" ;) that promo caught me out there love it lol
That was the best manscaped ad ever
Wow, I didn't know about this one.
New subscriber here. Love your content and love watching videos about the history of old consoles and games!
I remember the first time seeing a Sega master system I didn't Even know though they existed, I only thought they made the Genesis. I had the Genesis we moved into a new house and in the basement was a Sega master system. I looked at it and was like what the hell is this? Sega made a console before the Genesis. And this was in 1996 97. I never plugged it up and played it though.
Hey Lady. Here is some information on a couple of great Christmas gifts. The Retroad 4.3" HDMI Famicom handheld from Ali-Express with the KryzsioCart flashcart from Ebay and the Retroad 5 Plus with the GB/GBC Extension Converter and an Everdrive GB X7. Great systems!!! 🙂
You mention the Master System being popular in Europe, but not Brazil where it beat out its competition
Remember the sega Pluto????
Hmm, we share the same taste in Sega Master System music, eh? Cool video!
When u did the ad an was like " I bet u all assume I'm horribly horribly hairy.." LMAO, U had won me over, subscribed!!
I hope someone Will find this discsystem in the wild
Watching your videos and Angry Video Game Nerd's videos on the same systems are almost like they were both made in different dimensions. XD
What's interesting, we had a whole bunch of actually illegal clones of Nintendo in Poland, but there was no copyright law back in the day, and even later the authorities didn't care about that and piracy for a couple of years. Might do a video on them some day. Right now I'm finishing one on Moonstone, a great Amiga classic.
I like your accent, by the way.
Hurray! Thank you so much Lady Decade for making this interesting video about the Sega Master System disk system!
You are the best!
Girl. You’re seriously KILLING IT!!!
You're absolutely smashing it with all the content! Keep it up~💖
I had the master system 2 with the build in Alex Kidd game, good vid Miss Decade
SMSDS. Acronym works way better. Huh. They were ahead of the curve, even back then. Bummer it did not pan out. But the format they produced did what it could. To think if classic titles could be brought to the CD format, limits in storage space would be different. Plus using higher quality audio vs what they were limited with.
Sega, always experimental
can anyone tell me what the 2 player racing game at 8:46 is? It looks very similar to Final Lap Twin for TurboGrafx-16, which is interesting. I had no idea such a game exists on the SMS.
He we go. A system I know little about. Thanks!
I can’t imagine the super control station from sega is real hard to find just like the Tera drive I’m in a shocker. Famicom seems pretty cool after I got it in a trade before Labor Day 2021. Best regards Nikita.K
That Joy Stick for the Master System was EXTREMELY annoying and highly uncomfortable to use.
