Segaiden #24: The Mark III, feat. Hang On and Teddy Boy Blues (Patreon)
Content
I always like to post a meaningful or otherwise better-than-average episode around the holidays, and I'm thrilled to say this year's lineup bears that out. Last week's episode was one for the books, and I'm even happier about this one—not least of all because jumping from SG-1000 hardware to Master System (well, Mark III) was a profound relief. I don't think the Master System gets a lot of respect in the U.S., and I can safely say that's because we didn't have SG-1000 releases up through its debut. As much as I admire what Sega did with that hardware, the leap to its successor is profound and honestly thrilling.
That's to be expected, of course. What may surprise you is just how hard this episode goes on Teddy Boy Blues. It's a pretty interesting game when you look at the broader context around it.
Anyway, please enjoy this excellent (if I do say so myself) episode, and whatever holiday you celebrate during these darkest of Saturnalian days: Happy Holidays!
