Anyone played with the Sega MasterSystem here? hc; never heard of it arcadian has TedB: What?! ted: do you need Gen Herzog Zwei? I'd love to be rid of it... ;) epp; did you talk to him? TedB: It's Sega's first 8-bit video game system. hc; sega made an 8bit system? hc "sega"? whazzat? SC-3000 was it? asc; not really interested in that TedB: Yep. hc: is that made by atari? hc; holy shit, when? ted: ah well.. :) I heard about that thing...they just took a game gear and reduced the colors and made it a home console mick; you're shittin me dude * AkmedSC is slow to catch on today.. :) mick: i thought they took the power base converter and made that the console. arton: No, the Sega Mastersystem was made by Sega. It had better specs and all than the NES but the NES was just too popular at the time. ted: I ain't shittin! ? mick; cool! If it was so damned cool, why did it need glasses. mick; how come i never heard of it? mick: is that the one with that stroker game for it i heard about?? hc: you blow my mind.... it's crazy what you say.. nintendo is the best!!!! mick; i mean i collect classic systems and have over 30 of em, you'd think id have heard of this at some point, right? * PierceBoy heard 'stroker'! ted: cause they buried them all in the desert arton: Well, actually, the Sega mastersystem had better technical specs, it was released after the NES. The problem was that it didn't have that much great software. * TedB shakes his head, 'sega made an 8bit system, i cant believe it' <_sdc_> ted: ROTFL! =0 ted: i don't think he knows what he's talking about tedb: hehehehe! Ted: They did? sega who? sdc; why didnt anyone tell me?? arton: the NES had LOTS of support and no one really paid Sega's system any mind since Nintendo RULED the game industry. so art...when are you sending my SEGA MASTER SYSTEM FANTASY ZONE CART? =) =) =) it's the "super sega" made by arati TedB: Yep, Sega made an 8-bit video game system. <_sdc_> ted: i thought you knew... sdc; i feel betrayed... (akmed: ixnay on the egasay artcay) <_sdc_> ted: man, i'm really sorry... Jesus christ...8-bit Sega? Shit... ppyea: k-o chief Sega made an 8-bit system? really? Didn't know that!!! sdc; so thats why all those squarish carts i have wont fit in my genesis, eh? pb: pico. :) sega WHO? sdc; i thought that if they said sega they must be for the genny * AkmedSC Pico.. Alex the Kidd(or some type of game like this) was on the Sega MasterSystem. It was pretty good. * Xstrobe shits himself...8-bit Sega? ANOTHER system to collect carts for??? strobe; i know how you feel, now i gotta get out there and find one! <_sdc_> ted: nope, sega were around before the genesis! can you believe it? * hcgamers is absolutely SHOCKED none of you classic gamers never heard of the Sega MasterSystem - 8-bit * PierceBoy wonders if the 8-bit sega had a Z80 in it? And maybe a TMS9938-compat video chip? naaah. 8-bit sega? but they've already got the 16- and 32-bit systems. why would they do an 8-bit? <_sdc_> eppy: =) kev: heh...too advanced :D ak: yeah * InfoGoon shakes his head in disbeliefe at the newbies...... sdc; i heard they used to make plumbing fixtures before they got into videogames sounds like a step backwards to me. where the hell did that e come from? * hcgamers says you can buy one from Telegames USA. epp; really rworn; did you hear? Nope, Sega actually was started by an American. rworne: Did you know Sega made an 8-bit system??? * rworne scored a bunch of Jag stuff today! afk before i laugh myself into a coma. rworne; sega made an 8bit system! XS: No, really? :) hi arcadian! rworne: No shit! Really! Sega started out as an arcade manufacturer. - in Japan, but started by an American. arcadian: have any super sega 8 bit atari tapes for trade?? XS: what does that make the SMS, a 12-bit system :) hc; i read it in a faq somewhere... sega used to specialize in urinals, right? * AkmedSC is about to piss himself laughing...afk =) mastursystem is 12-bit? is it an intellivision clone? Eppy: No, INTV was 16 bit... epp: no, the inTV's 16 bits. :-) Eppy: Pong, more likely... Eppy: Sega did an 8-bit before they did a 16-bit and 32-bit. They're 8-bit failed. It couldn't topple the MASSIVe popularity of the NES. hc: more like piss-poor predatory trade practices by the *other* Japanese gaming company... <_sdc_> ted: i bet those carts you have are ER's...nobody's ever heard of the old sega system! =) it must be rare! i like booboo.. is there a booboo game for this supersega system? so when will toys r us be blowing out this mastursystem? no way it can survive in the current 32-bit market. back.. Eppy: The Sega MasterSystem is not 12-bit, but it had better technical specs than the NES, too bad it didn't have better games. Eppy: 64 bit, now... hc: are these MasterSystem games rare?? Damn...I wonder if I have any SMS carts in my 'mystery box'... The Sega MasterSystem was released in the 80s, shortly after the NES. hc: i bet it would have done better if it had a smurf game hc: go on with your bad self! really?! strobe; i have like 30 squarish carts that dont fit in my genesis art: is combat sms? i have a big green cart.. 13 inches long.. is that a super sega master series cart? * PierceBoy wonders what these funky-shaped carts with the shit-brown cross-hatched labels were for. strobe; im wondering now if they aint for this 8bit sega system Akmed: Yep. Hard to get 'em. I only know that Telegames USA - a mail order companies - sells the systems and over 50 of it's games. rw: i think so... Ted: Hrm...I have this one cart, Rambo III or something, it has a sticker that says 'Sega: The NEXT Generation for the 90's!', but won't fit in MY Genesis! xs: Hm... odd. LOL kev: Yeah, I know! Eppy: Yes, really!!! ben: y'know, i found this weird thing that you stuff on the Genesis to make these weird huge Game Gear games cram in there...really neet-o... strobe; i got this boxed game, 'phantasy star' today, but it wont fit into my genesis, no matter how hard i press Hey... I got this yellow cart... looks sorta like an 8-track... is that one of them? strobe: that's a n65 cart. nintendo's failed system that came out beofore the n64 rworne: gimme that! :) hmm. must not have made it beyond some limited test market. ted: force it in Ted: Hmm...maybe if you chip away pieces of the case...like MegaDrive carts... art: are you sure that's not the N32? or the C48??? art; maybe if i use a hammer on it rworne: i love yellow carts Akmed: No shit??? kev: the n65 came out right after the n32 ben: yeah! it's super swell, jackson! Ak: Where'd you get that?? it even has a credit card slot so you can buy more games!!! <_sdc_> did anyone here ever see the coleco CD system? i heard it's better than the pee-sex. ben: from some old dude! afk to play some atari 2100... art: aaah BTW, the Sega MasterSystem color is Black. This is Sega's traditional color. Ak: WHOA! That's COOL! I think there's an SMS emulator out for the Jaguar... The Sega mastersystem looks cooler than the NES, but the games aren't really cooler. Ak: Does it have a built in modem?? hc; how could sega get away with releasing a B&W system? back.. i only have one 2100 cart... vr hampster... hc; that went out with pong... ben: i dunno...lemme go see... TedB: It's all in Black. No white. only atari made pong systems... hc; how can u see what you're playing then? no white? sms must suck! arton: VR Hamster? so that sega thing must really be atari like i said <---knows it all TedB: I'm talking about the color of the system, not games. Actually, I got an SMS, boxed, and new... $150 min bid... * Xstrobe is confused... art; i got that cart in my genesis now strobe: for the atari 2100 megasystem ben: it says Power Baze Convertor...wonder what it does... TedB: The games are in color, like the NES. rworne: Really? Hmm...I'll have to think about that... i see no modem slot tho :( art; it only took a few good whacks Ak: Hey, I've got one of those! <_sdc_> hc: if there's no colors in the system, then how do the games work? art; but now smoke is coming out of my genesis, is that normal? you too? COOL! arton: Cool! XS: I'll even toss in Afterburner... and Rambo II... ben: hey - does that Game Gear Maze Hunter 3D game fit in it like mine?? hmm, maybe i should ask arcadian.... ted: yes, the genisis has an port for smoke effects rworne: Whoa, whoa, slow down...a SegaMasterSystem, AND two games for $150? SOLD! sdc: The system has colors, I said the color of the system - the outside. <_sdc_> hc: does it come with crayons? art; sheeit! art; its cool Akmed: Hmm...I don't have one of those... XS: I'll email the address for the money order later... OK? rworne: Okay, thanks. :) pauls@wauknet.com rworn; pay no attention to strobe, ill give you $300 for the sega 8bit system xs: hahahaha!!! LOL! ted: you can get a 32xe that plugs in the genisis.. it adds light effects Ted: Fucker!

Shit... sorry XS... :) hahahaha... <_sdc_> hc: you need crayons to color in the games on the tapes, right? strobe; you snooze, you loose i bid akmeds weiner for the sega game! haaay! :( :( telegames? who's that Ted: Dammit! Maybe I'll find one in a thrift or something...I hope I've not passed one up before.. ep: um...telnet's video games?? epp: wasn't that the brand-name of sears carts? wait a minute, ive heard about the sega master system before sorry, akmed, i want a super sega!!! sdc: No. <_sdc_> telegames are those guys that put out the fake atari that didn't work. sdc: aaah it had clear overlays that you put on the tv screen that you could color so the games would look like they were in color, right? kev: hey, you're right. this sega system was sold through sears, i guess. ted: yes... that's it. tedb: yeah, yeah, that's it Ted: Yeah! Like that Vectrex thing I hear so much about...never seen one of those, either! Telegames is a mail-order video game company. been around for more than a decade. They're also a new video game company - developer. Eppy: Actually, it was sold through an office supply store in Encino California.... strobe; vectrex? sears went bankrupt in 1953 because ot it, right? <_sdc_> ted: and then you used the sega crayons to color in the games. it was the very first system besides the sony pong sdc; are these still available or will i have to pay rworne's outrageous prices for em? SONY pong? WHOA! <_sdc_> ted: no, man. they're ER. i need a Sony one! thought there was only arati pongs... <_sdc_> ak: it was the first 32 bit pong system. * Xstrobe has a Sony Pong...megamegamega dope. sdc; maybe i could use regular crayons, eh? akmed: you had to move the ball around with a light pen and the machine took punch cards to program the ball to move strobe; the one with the CD built in right? strobe; no waiting to play pong that way... <_sdc_> nug! can you believe it! sega put out an 8 bit pong system with built in crayons! * InfoGoon dearly hopes that someone is logging this. :) iggy: who isn't * calamari is * AkmedSC never stops, jackson... :) Ted: Yeah, so you could put in the Hockey, Jai-Alai, and Handball CDs. <_sdc_> ted: no, only the sega crayons work...they used a lockout chip. =( afk to put a new punchcard in my pc so i can irc with color.... sdc; how typical damn.. a mouse made a nest out of them.. no color for me :(:(:( cal: got my scanner! art: aw... :( <_sdc_> ted: timex did the same thing when they rereleased the famicom here. :| hc; so you own one of these 8bit sega things? sdc: That's nothing, The Magnavox Odyssey Spectra was a transistor-based pong system back in the early '70s made out of scented magic markers. akmed: sucks, eh? arton: do you have an unused punchcard? ill give you the #'s to punch out nug; i heard about that... cala: i have a piece of cardboard... nug; the handheld one with the full color screen right? <_sdc_> nug: the spectra is the one with chase the chuck woolery built in right? cala: but it's 7" thick :( arton: that will work.. make a grid on it.. 1-49 Yeah, and you could put different scented markers in for each game, sort of smello-vision cala: i'll have to get a drill for this thing.. it's really wood, i guess nug; cool Well later versions had Chuck Woolery, earler ones had Wink Martindale. chase the chuck wollery? =) nug; now i need one Nug: Like the movie Polyester? I think the SMS music was composed by Slim Whitman... <_sdc_> nug: wow, i bet the wink ones are ER's. rworne: More like Bad Lieutenant. * arton is afk to write "weiner" on all his carts with sega crayons... arton: punch out 2,3,5,6,9,14,15 & 35 .. that should do it cala: tanks... hey, are activision SMS games rare at all? i passed up a cyborg-hunter or some such today... d00d! ACTIVISION Super Sega games?? ted: "sms"? you eatin soup with a spork? whoa! no prob arton! <_sdc_> goon: you gotta get back to work, or you'll never be able to afford the new sega 4 bit that's replacing the 8 bit one with the crayons. <_sdc_> goon: the 4 bit one's gonna have the kung fu grip. scott: the 2 bit takes a lead pencil hehe It's called the Sega Carnivore and it's made out of petrified vienna sausages. * InfoGoon notes that he only got a weeks severance pay. :( Better than a kick in the ass though. nug: cool! is there a waiting list? <_sdc_> hc: are you sure that this 8 bit sega toy exists? * arton dccs merc a kick in the ass Severance pay? What country to you live in? Not really, but if you trade in 20 N64 games you can get it for $199 thanx arton, that just tops the day off perfectly. :) rw: hehe, I was suprised. merc :) glad i can help you know, this channel has really been chaos... <_sdc_> hc: you might just be fibbing us to get attention...are you sure that there's an 8 bit sega toy? scott: he's full of shit. damn lamer. sdc: There is a such Sega system. scott: I've hear rumors of one... wait a minute, I was scanning stuff.

SuperSega stuff! =D ted: no, I was scannign stuff. hc: yes! if you are so right, post it to rec.games.video.classic! hc: i dare you!! arton: I never make up stuff. We may have had some arguments and all, but this is TRUE. There is a Sega Mastersystem - which is an 8-bit video game system by Sega. merc; apparently sega put out a system *before* the genesis merc; 8bit hc: my eye. post that it exists! i dare you! arton: How do I do that? If I knew how, i would. <_sdc_> ted: i still can't believe it. merc; and here i thought sega speciallized in plumbing fixtures before the genny ted: Wait......no way. The Genesis was the FIRST THING Sega put out!!!!! I KNOW!!!! oh my god... :) ak: hehe ted: they did. I think I actually saw a Master System prototype though. This was back when Sega still made Mickey Mouse leather moccasin kits. merc: yeah, I think you're right! merc; apparently not hc: do you know how to read newsgroups? * InfoGoon doesn't believe this new guy. merc; hc claims to have inside knowledge <_sdc_> can someone show hcgamer how to read newsgroups, so he can tell the world of his incredible find?

IG: Quite rare... not as rare as the Atari 2600 though... merc; i hope you are ready to eat your words when HC proves himself hc; i believe you * Xstrobe needs to go thrifting tomorrow to see if he can find a SegaMasterSystem. InfoGoon: Tell me how I do post it and I will!!!! ted: I'll bet MONEY there isn't a 8 bit system, and I just got laid off, so I don't have any to spare, thats how sure I am!!!!!! hc: You have Netscape? <_sdc_> goon: go ahead. show the man how to post. =) hc: ok, what kind of system do you have? hc: i'm telling you. look at your msg. window.

You guys still haven't really told me how I can post the thing, only arton seems to be helping. XS: yes... scientologists use them to do clearings... hc: We left it up to him. rw: scientolgists use atari 2600's? * Xstrobe wonders if this is one of those reverse engineering projects, where a company gets a hold of unrealized schematics, and produces an obsolete system... Pierce: Naw.. vectrexes... I've seen them on those blood pressure machines also... like the N64? Ak: Yeh. cool-o! Damn...I want a SegaMasterSystem...that sounds so cool... rw: oh * hcgamers will prove all you so called classic gamers how there is a Sega Mastersystem and you lived not knowing so. phooey on segamastursystem. bet whatever games it has stink. * hcgamers will be posting later on today... * PierceBoy likes his masturbatesystem.... :-P hc: seriously... if there was such a thing, I'd have it on my web page...

Youll see... Ep: Yeah! hc: was this only i nthe US? i mean. did the japanese and the british get the supersega? rworne: there is such a thing, but you just don't know about it. And you call yourself a gamer, shame on you. hc: I'm wounded... :( *sniff* Akmed: It was released in the U.S. and I'm sure it was released in Japan. As everything is released in Japan before it hits the U.S. * arton = real hard core gamer.. i don't make up fake systems. * AkmedSC is going to have to lie down in afew...SUPERSEGA! HOLY FUCK!

Some classical gamer you are. hclamer: yeah, right. you're just going to wait untill we all forget because we are all old men with bad memories * Xstrobe is at George Mason in Fairfax, Virginia. <_sdc_> hc: NG=news group. hc; the group is gonna explode if a new system comes out.... from webster: Genesis-:the origin or coming into being of something. <- I submit unrefutable proof that the genesis was the first system... Akmed: I'm going to be a freshman in college this September. hc; you will go down in rgvc history rw: yeah, you're right. THat's why they called it the Genesis I'll either go to Holy Cross, GeorgeTown, UPenn, or John Hopkins. Ted: That he will, if this is for real... hc lamer: it would really impress us and the ng if you posted it first and were right. it'd be a big discovory. strobe; im still kinda in disbelief hc: you better post it before one of the people reading here does.. it'd do your "fanzine" a lot of good, you know
