The Retro Years
 The Retro Years ... Nintendo: Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES); PC Engine (remember that one?); Atari ST; Amiga and all the other platforms and games that just aren't contemporary, but still beloved by many.Tell us why you think they couldn't carry on. Was it due to advances in technology, or were they poorly marketed? Do you still play them? Can they compare to today's machines? What's your opinion?" Newest Review: ... Sega Master System. Firstly, I have to comment to the designs of the Master System. There are three main different ones. There’s the keyboard styled first version, the oval shaped Master System II and the only slightly different Sega Master System III (Which was only released in Brazil). I have to say that all three versions, especially the original actually look really good. They aren’t ... more ... sleek or sexy like the PS3 but they have that unique quality, like the Vectrex that makes them nice to watch.

In 1985 Nintendo release the NES or Nintendo Entertainment System. It was an immediate success and helped pull the game industry out of its doldrums caused by the Video Games Crash of 1983.

So, as a tribute to Sega’s first video games console, here is my review of the Sega Master System. ...

(Note: I have *no* idea why the first bit of this is coming out in all lower-case. It looks fine in the DY submission box. Honestly, I haven't forgotten how to write in the time I've been away!) Those of us who started school in 1980 or so are really very lucky indeed. It's true. On the one hand, we just missed the lunacies of the National Curriculum, Records of Achievement, SATs and so on. But on the other, we got to do GCSEs with major coursework components, have a proper choice of Options at 14... and experience computing as [insert deity's name if you like, 'cause I haven't got one] intended it. Caning was abolished in the 1980s as ...
