Hey guys, I'm Tim. I started playing Mater System while stationed in Korea 87-91. It was a cheap fun way to stay connected to the states and not fall behind on pop culture. When I returned from overseas I upgraded to a Genesis and gave my brother one for Christmas replete with the Master System converter so we could share games between us. I remained hooked on the Master games for their classic simple fun and ordered missing titles from some online distributors. I even ordered some Europe-Only titles from Sega of Europe. The shipping was fairly steep but I was doing well financially and liked to idea of having games none of my friends owned. Sega Europe had ported numerous Game Gear games onto Master System Carts which added some much needed variety to the library for that console. I took all my games with me when I became divorced and returned later to pick up the boxes I had stored in a closet only to discover my ex had thrown them out assuming I didn't want them, Aagghh!!! Anyways I still have all of the games including my coveted Sega Europe titles. I assume some of the online sites are for keeping Master System fans supported and well informed. Just curious whats up with other Master System Collectors and get up to date on everything since I bought a Master System III from Kaybee Toys in the late '90's?

Hello everyone! I'm Zach and am a 27 year old from Dallas Texas. I am a recent Master System player, at least in a way... I grew up with the Game Gear being one of my favorite systems. However, since buying a master system several years ago, I've slowly picked up around 60 games and enjoying every minute of it.
