@JayJ totally agree

Tower of power - I assume this is sold separately, and so could be imported and attached to the western mini?

I actually prefer the 3 button pad as this was the variant I used back in the day, and a large part of enjoying these products is the nostalgia element. I won’t be playing street fighter 2 much as I already have hyper fighting on the SNES mini and arcade port on my xbox360 so this doesn’t bother me.

So for me I’ll be sticking with the western release for now.

What an interesting article - thanks for all the research that has clearly gone into this. In this day and age it seems almost unbelievable that companies/individuals were able to sell IP they didn’t actually own onto the likes of Sega and Atari.

@Darknyht totally agree

The master system was my first console, and I still have a master system II. It is a great system to collect for as the vast majority of games are pretty cheap. Also, and unusually, Europe was where the most number of titles were published, so prices in the U.K. tend to be cheaper than elsewhere globally (except perhaps Brazil!)

Great great article Damo - unlike many of your readers I only visit this site because of it’s first class retro content.

Atari Lynx compilation - now that would have been interesting!
