Sega Master System (SMS)

Sega Master System (SMS) is an 8-bit game console, released by Sega in 1986 in the US and 1987 in Europe and Japan.

In June 1986, Sega Master System appeared in the United States and for the first four months has sold about 125 thousand of the consoles at the price of $ 200, while over the same period, Nintendo sold 2 million NES.

In 1988, all that concerned the Master System in the United States, gave the company Tonka, which was to boost sales and popularity of consoles. And this resulted in a complete failure.

In 1990, Sega of America has revoked all rights to Sega Master System from Tonka. The console was thoroughly revised and published as the Sega Master System II, which was just a games console and nothing more.
