Believe it or not, we are right around the halfway mark of our journey through the American Master System library. Sad news for Sega fans, no doubt a relief for the haters. Anyway, it seemed only appropriate to pause for a moment to take stock of the highs and lows of this adventure so far, and to praise the games that maximize the console's capabilities while showcasing what makes it stand apart from Nintendo's console.

Edit: Sorry this went up late! I meant to post it this morning, but Patreon's ever-changing front end for posting caused me to click the wrong button and I accidentally set it to go live in two weeks.
