Master System Monday # 11: Let's Buy A Master System...

Crikey! Master System Monday # 11! And instead of just lazily trawling Youtube for a piece of Master System video history, I thought I might actually do a relevant post for a change...

Inspired by the fact that the fantastic Gnome has actually just bought this lovely 8-Bit retro system, I decided to actually check out how much one of these babies might cost you if you were compelled to by one due to the ongoing saga that is, "MSM"... That's the abbreviated form of 'Master System Monday' in case it wasn't obvious...

OK so I went to ebay and discovered this...

I was really lucky (as I often am) and received my Master System from a lovely colleague who found it (along with an N64) in the basement of a house she had just bought...

I would URGE any of you who read this blog to snatch one up while you can. The advent of XBLA and the Wii Virtual Console will have retro junkies running to snap one up, rendering their availability obsolete by 2009... Possibly! LOL :)

For more video game nuggets of gold, that you could own any day now, visit the only blog that combines the wisdom of Father Krishna, The Elderly and Gnome... Retro Treasures!

Master System Monday # 10: "'Ave Some Of That Yer Bastard..."

Jesus! Monday again and this time with the MOTHER of all hangovers, after a three day birthday binge that at one point included absynthe...

I've felt like a hollow shell of a man all day, so it's fitting that the artistic merits of this particular post are suitably empty and vacuous... The video 'review' of Streets Of Rage (or Stweets Of Wage...)has got to be one of the most piss poor pieces of video blogging ever aired. The guy doing the voice over and describing/reviewing the game sounds like a Brummie Arthur Pewty, continuously recoursing to " 'Ave that..." every time he runs out of something to say about the game...

It made me laugh and I hope it will give you a chuckle!

"'Ave that yer bastards..." LOL! :)

Master System Monday # 5: Sega8bit.com

A typical Master System enthusiast!

Well after two glorious weeks off work, its back to the grindstone for poor old me. (Bah!)

However, I've always got posting on this hallowed forum to look forward to and keep me going (Hurrah!)

As such I will continue on my quest to keep the Master System alive and well in our hearts.

I must confess that I haven't played anything new on the MS/Game Gear for a couple of weeks, so this week's offering owes more to web browsing than personal experience, DOH!

Awesome 3D glasses dude!

However, I have discovered a rather wonderful resource for all Master System fans. Let me introduce you to Sega8bit.com which I found this very day! Everything you ever wanted to know about the Master System but were afraid to ask! It's where I found the excellent pics that illustrate this post and there is so much more to discover...

I will endeavour to play some more and give up my personal reviews of those lovely 8 bit classic games. If you can't wait for that, have a look at this review of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker that I posted some time ago over at another one of mine and Gnome's collaborative efforts The Saturn Junkyard!
