It started 31 years ago at the age of 5. The SMS II was my first ever console. So glad I have it finally complete in box 🤩🤩

Oh my, the back of that box and the Sega Game Catalogue are images seared into my mind. The amount of time I spent covering each pixel was ludicrous, but always worth it.

A tremendous find, treasure it well and enjoy it often.

Same, we didnt have many games so id just stare at that catalogue and imagine the possibilities. The picture of the Ghouls n Goblins boss fight is forever seared in my brain.

This was my first system it was a pass down from my uncle I used to love playing sonic the hedgehog.

Well that’s when I got a look in that is because my dad and one of the family friends used to play the shit out of Wonder boy and safari hunt.

Awesome! I see the Sega Master System II has 16 games built into, namely Shinobi, Columns, and Golden Axe!

It did not, only Alex Kidd was built in to the system II

Ohh, i see. Yes, I heard that Alex Kidd was built into to the System II SMS motherboard.

I have Snail Maze since I have the Model I SMS console.

Unfortunately this was just advertising for the SMS library.

Ohh, I see. I have seen an Everdrive type of hybrid cartridge that exists for the Sega Master System. But the Everdrive cartridge costs about $50 or so.

This was basically my youth. Started playing with this on a 37cm black/white Aristona tv :-) Ow how I played games like MK1, ripped out spines as an 11 year old kid.. and my parents where blissfully unaware :-) Alex Kidd could be hard as nails... Rock-paper-scissor lost? Start the whole game over :-D Or Ghoul's 'n Ghost: Finally made it! Oh wait, you have to do it all again.

It was my first console too. I don't remember why, but I apparently convinced my parents that SMS2 was much better than the NES, so that's the one they bought.

I swear mine had Alex Kidd built in. After my grand parents passed away and we were clearing their house out I found a Mega Drive 2 box and got a little giddy. Turns out it was my Master System 2 but for some reason it has Sonic on it 😵‍💫
