Yup. The first SEGA system. And by far their most boring, since they didn’t really have a console development division yet got software, so the software that came out for it are mostly of the “low quality arcade port” or “Japanese simulator” variety. Not to say nothing good came from it, but there actually IS a reason you’ve never heard of any games for it: it’s just kinda there.

I don’t want to roast this thing non-stop. I’ll try out some games via emulation later (they’re very easy to emulate), and I won’t deny that the hardware history is FASCINATING. I think the system looks incredible! It’s like a cool technological art piece! So distinctly Sci-fi that I can’t help but love the look of it. But lacking any singular game that I’ve ever seen anybody recommend (even the SEGA super hardcore) really does taint this poor fella for me. I also think that it’s a CRIME that this system has a tag, but the Original XBox and XBox 360 STILL DON’T.

I have not seen much of this console and have never played it. I am considering emulating this console now. Thank you for writing this post.

We’ll have to write about our game experiences here! I would love more than anything to be proven wrong and for this console to have a bunch of awesome arcade style games that people don’t know about!

All the games can be played on the Master System and I think some were actually released for it in the West. The games are really simple because the console was similar to a Colecovision or first-generation MSX computer. Coincidentally, Golgo 13 is the main game I played for it. It's basically a shooting mini-game where you're trying to pop windows on a moving train. Basic but kind of addictive.
