Sega SG-1000

Providing the basis for the Sega Master System the Sega SG-1000 was released in July of 1983. Being test marketed in Japan the SG-1000 received some popularity and sold well up until 1985. It’s best remembered in Asia as one of the first consoles available at the time however to find one today is rare.

The console is very hard to find and is considered a collectors item sometimes selling for $300 on eBay reason for the rarity is that it was never released in North America.

Zoom 909, Girl’s Garden, Galaga and Monaco G.P. were some of the games that were available for the Sega SG-1000. The graphics on the Sega SG-1000 can be somewhat compared to that of the ColecoVision which was released the year before.

Here’s an example of Girls Garden for the Sega SG-1000
