There are three confirmed "sets" of North American Master System; early consoles distributed by [[Sega]], late 80s consoles distributed by [[Tonka]], and a third set for the redesgined Master System II, also distributed by Sega. Canada changed packaging when the US changed distributors, but all consoles in that country were distributed by [[Irwin Electronics]].

==The Sega Base System==
 
−
Sega redesigned the [[Sega Mark III]] for a western audience, but for a number of years they seemed unsure what to call the redesigned console. Initially, it was simply given the vague title of "Sega System", with the bundle names seemingly given more attention than the console itself. The console unit itself was strictly called the "Sega Power Base", before being renamed later down the line.
 
  
−
Two packages were originally offered to the US when the system showed up in 1986 - this "Sega Base System" (the cheaper, lesser option) and the "Sega Master System" (the more expensive, better option). The base system, was, as you would expect, basic. It contained merely the Sega Power Base and two control pads, and no built-in games.
+
Contrary to popular belief, until the advent of the Sega Master System II, Sega did not call the console the "Sega Master System" in North America. Instead the console was referred to as the "Sega System", a rather vague and confusing title which was inevitably scrapped. The console unit itself is often referred to as the "Power Base" (similar to the NES' "Control Deck"), though for unknown reasons the text printed on the top of the unit reads "Master System/Power Base". The "Master System" name clearly stuck, and became the official title for the console in later revisions.

Though there are similarities with European packaging, North American models are easier to spot than one might expect.

The other option, the Sega Master System, was more thoughtful, giving the user two control pads, a [[Light Phaser]] and both ''[[Hang-On]]'' and ''[[Safari Hunt]]'' built in.

+
==United States==
−
At some point, Sega redefined what it was to be a "Master System". This version of the Master System simply contains ''[[Hang-On]]'', which was built-in to the console, and two control pads. We are unsure exactly when this bundle was released, so it may have been earlier than the above.

These "second generation" Master System bundles arrived a couple of years down the line. These would be the mould for most international models. They have a different typeface describing the system (underlined in colour) and the "SEGA" logo replaces the "The Sega" text seen in earlier models. From this point onwards all bundles were called "Sega xxx System" as opposed to "''The'' Sega xxx System". It's also where things start to get complicated.
 
  
−
The "Base System" survived, but the bundle was changed so that it contained a copy of ''[[Hang-On]]'' (mis-represented by the screenshot on the front of the box) as well as two control pads. This means the new "Base System" is identical to one of the old "Master System"s.

Canada's history is similar to the US', except they dropped any name that wasn't "Sega Master System". Consoles were distributed by [[Irwin Toy]], a practise that would continue until shortly after the [[Sega Mega Drive]]'s release. This model was released in 1986 and is identical to the first US "Sega Master System" model. Canadian releases can be distinguished by the IRWIN logo in the top left.

Latest revision as of 21:24, 2 December 2023

Though the Sega Master System always played second-best to the Nintendo Entertainment System (so much so that few even remember the Master System's existence in this region), many bundles and console revisions were given to the North American audience.

There are three confirmed "sets" of North American Master System; early consoles distributed by Sega, late 80s consoles distributed by Tonka, and a third set for the redesgined Master System II, also distributed by Sega. Canada changed packaging when the US changed distributors, but all consoles in that country were distributed by Irwin Electronics.

Contrary to popular belief, until the advent of the Sega Master System II, Sega did not call the console the "Sega Master System" in North America. Instead the console was referred to as the "Sega System", a rather vague and confusing title which was inevitably scrapped. The console unit itself is often referred to as the "Power Base" (similar to the NES' "Control Deck"), though for unknown reasons the text printed on the top of the unit reads "Master System/Power Base". The "Master System" name clearly stuck, and became the official title for the console in later revisions.

Though there are similarities with European packaging, North American models are easier to spot than one might expect.
