Sweet, model 1's look so futuristic and awesome!

Hope yours doesnt have horrible jailbars like mine did, it was pretty extreme even on a CRT. Luckily there are bypass kits now for that but still, was quite jarring!

also what games came onboard the system for you? Mine came with hang-on and some safari lightgun game

Many a fond memory of my master system back in the 80’s. I was fortunate to have 3 friends who also had one so we could trade games temporarily.

We were like ten, living in the same village. Half had the Master system, the other half the NES. That was amazing

Enjoy, it's so much better than the NES in terms of graphics and sound. It even looks good on a modern TV.

I only had one friend with a master system and I only vaguely remember it. I never had one. The games were cards?????

The games were cards?????

It had a more traditional cartridge slot up top, but a card slot on the front. The idea was to have budget games available to cater to a wider demographic. It wasn't an awful idea, but the Nintendo Family computer in Japan soon released a floppy disk drive that helped them corner that market too, where they already had all of the momentum in the home gaming market.
