I had a Master System!

"Unfortunately, it turns out you need something called a CPF number to purchase stuff from Brazil."

Yes, I'm afraid that's true... our system here is very antiquated!

By the way, I like this monthly round up. It's a great way to see what you've been up to, and it's good to hear about the Sega book's progress.

R$360 for that Master System Evolution?! That's a bargain!

I know, right! And it looks SO cool! Someone on the SEGA 8-bit forms did a tear down and it's literally a big plastic case with one small chip in it, but it just looks so good. Oh well.

While my favourite SEGA system was the Mega Drive, my first was a Master System, so I've always had a soft spot for it. Some of my favourite games are exclusive to it, such as Master of Darkness and Phantasy Star.

Was Phantasy Star a precursor to Final Fantasy? Or is it a whole different world?

This is a great post. Your detailed progress on the SEGA book was engaging and so well-written. I especially liked the challenges with copyright law. Also, your reflections on re-reading Bone provided a nostalgic and insightful perspective on this. Great work.
