The '''[[wikipedia:Master_System|Sega Master System]]''' (SMS) is an 8-bit console released by [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]] on October 20, 1985, in Japan (as "Mark III". In all actuality, the Master System and Mark III differ a bit due to the original Japanese release having more features, such as card functionality and backward compatibility with '''[[wikipedia:Sega SG-1000|SG-1000]]''', which the Master System lacks) and in September of 1986 in the US. It was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|199.99|1986}}. It had a Zilog Z80A at 4 MHz with 8 KBs of RAM and 16 KBs of VRAM. It had a Yamaha YM2602B VDP GPU. It was designed to be a direct competitor to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Nintendo Entertainment System]] and was technically superior to it in some ways. The Sega Game Gear was released in April of 1991 and was a competitor for the Game Boy. It had a backlit screen, color, and a nice-looking design. It retailed for {{Inflation|USD|149.99|1991}}. It had a Zilog Z80 CPU at 3.5 MHz with 8 KBs of RAM and 16 KBs of VRAM.

| colspan=17 | The Sega Master System only has 256x256 pixel layers for the background tiles and sprites, therefore, in contrast to the NES or Mega Drive, a Widescreen hack is impossible. One could gain 64px vertically, but there's probably noone interested in implementing that.
