The '''[[wikipedia:Master_System|Sega Master System]]''' (SMS) was is an 8-bit console released by [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]] on October 20, 1985 in Japan (as "Mark III". In all actuality Master System and Mark III differ a bit due to original Japanese release having more features, such as card functionality, and backwards compatibility with '''[[wikipedia:Sega SG-1000|SG-1000]]''', which 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 8KB of RAM and 16KB 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 8KB of RAM and 16KB VRAM.
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.
