	Encyclopedia: Sega Mark III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Mark III was released in Japan on October 20, 1985 to compete with the Nintendo Family Computer, following on from the SG-1000 Mark I and SG-1000 Mark II.
		The Mark III was built similarly to the Mark II, with the addition of improved video hardware and an increased amount of RAM.
		Neither the Mark III nor the Japanese Sega Master System were commercially successful, due to strong competition from the Nintendo Famicom.

		Sega of Japan was purchased for $38 million by a group of investors led by Rosen and Hayao Nakayama, a Japanese businesman who owned a distribution company that had been acquired by Rosen in 1979.
		Unfortunately Sega has fallen on hard times recently and is moving out of hardware manufacturing, at least in the home console market; the arcade SEGA Naomi units are still being produced.
		Sega was attempting to "lock out" game companies from making Genesis games unless they paid Sega a fee (ostensibly to maintain a consistent level of quality of games for their system.) Their strategy was to make the hardware reject any catridge that did not include a sega trademark.

		To compete with the Nintendo Famicom in Japan, Sega released the successor to the Mark I/II and called it Sega Mark III in 1984.
		The console had two game formats which were cartridges and a Sega "Game Card" format.The cards held only 256K of data (cartridges held over 4 times that amount), but the advantage to both Sega and the consumer was the fact that the cards were cheaper to manufacture and sold for less then the carts did.
		Sega also introduced 3D glasses that could be used in some of their games.

		Sega's decision to turn the fate of the SMS in the U.S. over to Tonka proved to be a fatal error from which the system never really recovered.
		Sega quietly killed the system in 1996 in order to better focus its resources against the new threat from Sony, and that was the end of it.
		Sega's next system would be the one that would turn the home videogame market on its ear, but it could not have done so had not the SMS opened the doors to the world marketplace first.

		Sega of America announced a "Graphics Board" (a drawing pad, with images appearing on your television screen) and a 3.5" disk drive with the SMS' introduction, but neither accessory was released.
		Later, the "Sega Mark III" appeared, which is similar to the U.S. SMS unit except for some added FM chips (in fact, Sega of America based our SMS on the Mark III).
		With Sega owning the rights, they introduced the SMS with the Light Phaser, which is modeled after the Zillion Gun, except for the Light Phaser's markings.

		Shinobi was a arcade hit and have been ported to almost every gaming system available at that time, Sega ported it to their Mark III and Master System consoles, while licensees like Asmik and Tengen ported it to other consoles and computers.
		Sega then ported it to their Sega Mark III console with FM chip, I guess that version is very similar to the Master System one, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to give it a try.
		The Sega Master System version is a bit special, they changed the gameplay a bit, here, you don’t need to save like hostages, they are just a way to get some options and access to bonus stages,...

		The Sega SG-1000 Mark III was the next game console in the SG-1000 series after SG-1000 Mark I and SG-1000 Mark II (an updated Mark I).
		The Sega Cards are the same ones that are compatible with the SG-1000 card catcher add-on, but the card catcher is now built-in to the Mark III console.
		Sega would have learnt more about marketing a console and that's why their next console, the Genesis, was their most successful console.

		Still angling for a piece of the pie, Sega released the Mark III (Sega Master System) around this time, but it failed to put a dent in the Famicom behemoth.
		Sega followed suit the next year with the release of the Mega Drive, a true 16-bit machine that later came to the States under the name of Genesis.
		The SG-1000 was the first unit that launched the long-lived line of consoles (almost one release a year, bizarrely) that would culminate in the Master System, the first Sega-made console to be released in the U.S. Like the Famicom, the first version of the console was white and toylike.

		In Europe (particularly, the U.K.), players were given the "Sega Master System." and "SMS II" (I assume in all ways similar to the U.S. units, except for NTSC/PAL definitions).
		In Europe, Sega released a "Handle Controller" (info, anyone?), and in Japan, a BASIC program language attachment, keyboard and light pen (is this the same as the Graphics Board?), and "audioadapter" (what is this?).
		In Europe, players were given the same pack-ins as those in the states -- concerning the original "Sega Master System." Later, with the "Sega Master System II", Sonic the Hedgehog (cart) soon accompanied Alex Kidd in Miracle World (built in) as a pack-in, but then later replaced Alex as the built in feature.

	Sega Master System (History, Specs, Pictures)
		The Sega Master System was a redesign of Sega's Mark III and was introduced in 1986 at a retail price of $200, during the same year that Nintendo was taking the American video game market by storm with its Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
		It was meant to compete with Nintendo's less powerful NES and gain some of its market share.
		The release of newer games demanding more powerful hardware specs did a lot to show Sega's superiority over the NES and even contributed to Sega's release of the Master System II, which was for the most part a cut-down version of the original.
