In fact, spend an afternoon with the Classic and you’ll soon see how Sega’s 90s titles spawned many of the addictive mobile games of today. In 1986, Sega redesigned the Mark III for release in North America as the Master System. This was followed by a European release the next year. Although the Master System was a success in Europe, and later in Brazil, it failed to ignite significant interest in the Japanese or North American markets, which, by the mid-to-late 1980s, were both dominated by Nintendo.
