S: The Sega Magazine from early 1990

A magazine dedicated just to the Sega Master System. What a time to be alive!!

It later became Sega Power.

I find it really interesting and a friend just gave me a broken game gear so I'm going to have a crack myself but if I get in a right pickle, then I may have to give you a call 😂

What a great job. Do you get all the parts you need for the upgrades from retrosix? I mean do they have everything?

Interesting fact for you. Pachinko on the SG1000 was the first time Sega recalled a game. They discovered a bug shortly after release. This is why copies are so rare.

Once the bug had been fixed, they re-released the game and called it Pachinko 2 a few months later.

Sonic on the Sega Master System. It might not be as fast or boast 16 bit graphics like the Mega Drive but it's every bit the classic!

Blasphemous is 6 years old. I absolutely love both games. The first has a very special place in my heart. I've played over 100 hours on PlayStation and completed it twice on The Switch. Such a great game, awesome gameplay, gruelling boss fights and beautiful pixel art 😍
