Player One
When it came to the platform wars of the mid to late 1980's, I went with Sega. I had a Sega Master System (seen here), then a Genesis after that.
I am sorry to say that my Master System, after many faithful games, finally had to be thrown out. It died in about 1998 after a static electricity discharge mishap. Sure, sure, I meant to get it fixed, but never did. Eventually it just faded into obscurity and got too difficult to fix and I didn't want to put the money into it.
So, here's to you, Sega Master System! I'll always remember that time I played the original "Phantasy Star" on you for so long that the video store called and wanted their rental game back and told me I owed as much as the game cost and I told them that if I could have found the game to buy I would have bought it already and I would return the game when I had beat it and was ready to pay whatever price for victory. Yeah, good times... good times...
