Qualify "technically superior to NES" because the audio sure isn't, and the CPU is debatable with Z80's lower IPC. Also clarify in the lead section that the Master System also has more RAM than the SG-1000 and CV.

There are a lot of hardware similarities between the SMS and the Game Gear (GG). Notably, SMS game cartridges can actually be played on the '''[[gametech:Sega Game Gear|Game Gear]]''' via an adapter. For this reason, most SMS emulators can also run GG games.
Internally the Master System extends Sega's older SG-1000 by adding more RAM and a single new video mode; since the SG-1000 was built from the same CPU, video and audio chips as the [[ColecoVision emulators|ColecoVision ]] many Master System emulators also run ColecoVision games.
