hi everyone welcome to the new episode of NGS in this episode, we will return to the console reviewing we will review a console from Sega which is Sega Master System here we go this console released in 1986 in US and in Japan in 1985 thats the first 8 bit console from Sega Sega wanted to beat Nintendo in video game market and there was a huge historical war between those two the console was succeed in Europe the big question is: did the Master system manage to defeat the NES? the answer is: of course not there was a huge support for the NES, especially from third party companies but that does not mean the Master system don't have good games Master system have an awesome library of games that everyone should try them out any collector should try it for me, thats the first video game console I played before the NES and enjoyed it very much we will talk about games later after we describe the design as you can see this is the console it has an a rectangular design and up here its not flat at all kinda like a pyramid, or samosas of you are hungry! lets talk more about the showcase that's the cartridge slot, and fortunately it have a cover that protects it from dust thats the reset button thats the pause button that's right! the pause button on the console it self! what a life! that's the power button in the front here, the controller ports and this port is used for games that designed in tiny cards but it wasn't famous, so only a few games that released for it lets talk about the back side this is the adapter port and thats the RF port here you see the AV port and its different from NES and that switch for changing the channel how do you use it? for example, if you select channal 3 in your TV, you set Channal 3 on the console too or 4, depends on your choice but nowdays no one is using this thing lets talk about the controller the size is similar as the NES controller, and the buttons are using numbers instead of letters you will notice there are no Start and Select buttons unlike the NES and thats one of the flaws its really annoying! you have to move from your place just to pause the game or get to the menu and press the pause button from the console! seriously??? hello? hi Saif I am fine alright then, no problem, take care hello hi Hamad how are you? how is it going? long time no see alright then talk to you latter and say hi to everyone for me, take care ENOUGH !!!! that's the only solution! that's right! FUUUUUUUUUU !!!! anyway, lets talk more about the controller the D-pad is so soft its not comfortable as the NES but its not bad in general adding the 4 angles was a good idea you can use Sega Genesis controller on it by the way and it will work perfectly there is an info I would like to share what about the select button in Sega? Sege never used the Select button in any of its consoles! I'll prove it Sega Genesis Game Gear Sega Saturn and Dreamcast none of them have the Select button there is a Mode button for Nomad, but its for changing between 6 and 3 buttons anyway, thats just an info and its not a flaw lets talk about the game covers and cartridges lets start with the covers unlike the NES covers that made by a weak cardboard and they can get damaged easily Master System covers were made by a strong plastic and prevents the cartridges from getting damages, much better than the NES covers, I give them a credit for it but there is a flaw in the pictures of the covers I don't like it in my opinion, which is.... these little squares look like .... an Arabian skirt .. and it doesn't need that its should be a blank white or any color that fits for the game but the most important thing is: the protection of the cartridges lets talk about the cartridges and this is it as you can see its looks like the Famicom cartidges but its completely rectangular the size is almost the same if you compare it to the NES cartridges, its a lot smaller the design is okay but don't like the sticker that contains only the game title and Sega icon not even the game picture unlike the Nes and the Famicom there is only a blank red background with squares I don't get it, considering the release of Master System, its released after the NES that's about the original model and cartridges, lets talk about the other model that's the Sega Master System 2 its released in 1990 as you can see, the design is completely different from the orginal its a lot smaller and much lighter lets describe it deeply this is a cartridge slot and its cover is different form the original, you have to open it by your self thats the pause button here is the power switch controller ports at the back there is an adapter port RF port and the switch for changing channel like the one on the original the model look is much better than the original, but there are things they didn't get them right firstly, there no a reset button secondly, they put the pause button on the console ONCE AGAIN !! instead of designing a controller that has the start button for this model and solve the problem they decided to be more stubborn! thirdly, this model does not have the port for Sega card games unlike the orginal probably because this technology didn't succeed and finally, there is no AV port the same mistake that Nintendo did with the NES top loader there are 2 colors for this model which are black and grey and that all about Sega master system 2 now we will talk about the adapters for playing Master System games that's the Master System converter with it you can play Master System games on Sega Genesis or Mega Drive that's the cover of the cartridge slot thats the port for Sega card games that we saw in the original model thats the pause button you can insert it easily and of course you can use Sega Genesis controller on it by the way, it works on Retron 5 I made a review for Retron 5 you can check the link there thats all about master system converter lets talk about other kinds of converters this is the one Gear Converter Master there are many kinds of it and thats the one that I own you can use it on Sega Game Gear the design is decent there is only a cartridge slot you can insert it easily too you have to tight it form the back by a screw then you insert the cartridge now lets play the resolution is not that good but at least you can play the games without the TV that's all about the converters lets talk about some good games The Ninja its a side scrolling shooter like Contra but it has an overhead view you have to walk farward and defeat the Ninjas you can get the upgreats by defeating the enemies its a good game in general Power Strike, or Aleste in the Japanese version its a space shooter game this is one of the best space shooter games because its challenging and there are a lot of weapons not to mention the epic soundtrack, you should add this game to your library Wonder Boy 3 The Dragon's Trap its an adventure game and its a sequal to Wonder Boy in the monster world your goal is discovering the dungeons and castles and defeating the bosses each time you defeat a boss you will transform into different animals and each one has its own ability you can call it a Zelda game for Master System, you should try it out too Fantasy Zone another space shooter game with side view you can move more freely, forward or backward the world of this game is like cartoons and more childish even the enemies look funny but the game is enjoyable you can get to the shop by taking the shop icon and buy weapons but they won't live for long, don't worry you can get the money quickly and buy others all you have to do in this game is defeating the enemies until the boss appears than you defeat it after that you will be advanced to the next stage and thats it, is a good game in general Kenseiden its an action 2D game and you play as Hayato, the dragon samurai your main weapon is a sword of course and your goal is finding all the scrolls that let you learn new moves from the bosses and you have to discover the stages by using the map after being ready, you can go to the final castle and fight the final boss this game is so awesome and it has a dark atmosphere thats all about the games In conclusion, this is all about Sega Master System its a good console you will probably ask, is this console worth buying? I will tell you my honest opinion I say, buy the converter only if you already have the Sega Genesis not to mention the controlling in Sega Genesis is much better than Master system even if you don't have the both consoles neither Sega Genesis nor Master System I would say buy Sega Genesis with converter you will enjoy Sega Genesis games and Master Systems games on one console and this is all I can say about it thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in the next episode
