Sega's 8-bit Master System was the Mega Drive's predecessor and the NES's main rival outside Japan, where it dominated in Brazil and much of Europe. Home to the first Sonic games on 8-bit hardware, Phantasy Star and Wonder Boy.
Full-speed emulation on all R36 models. The entire library is supported.
The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
The R36 handheld family runs Master System titles with perfect compatibility out of the box.
