Mario first, then Sonic, then Pac Man, and finally, Frogger! I'd say in order of importance and popularity, that's how it should be. Anyone else agree with me on Frogger?

I think you might be confusing that with Ax Battler: A Legend Of Golden Axe on Game Gear. Golden Axe Warrior was an SMS exclusive.

So, I'm starting a new series on my channel called the Mt. Rushmore series. In it, I take a topic and give you my four top choices to put on a mythical Mt. Rushmore. I also thought it might make for some good forum topics.
 
Today I give you my choices for the four greatest video game characters of all time:
 

 
So what four video game characters would you put on your Mt. Rushmore?
 

I was always envious of all the the games I saw from the UK fro the SMS back as a Genesis owner when I flipped though import magazines at bookstores. Back in the US, there was barely any 3rd party support, so no Terminator for us.
 
Also, the UK got a PBC for the model 2 genesis, but we did not. However, I don't think it took card games, so at least we got that going for us for the original PBC.
 
Spy vs Spy is the only game I can think of that got both card and cartridge releases in the US..

Same as the original price tags thread. What things in your collection say not for resale on them. Ill start it off i have a resident evil 4 preview game

If I do get one, I know I'll love it

What I might do is get the Power Base Converter first, and in a few years or so, buy a real SMS.

Yup. It didn't sell so well in N. America so carts a re tough to come by. I only know 1 person that had a SMS growing up. Nintendo dominated the market and had an illegal strong hold on 3rd party developers and as we all know a system without games will not do well or fail all together.

Yeah, NES had 90% of the market with the 7800 and SMS splitting the rest...and some years the 7800 beat out the SMS!

I have a second one here that is not getting any use. Not sure if I have all the cords for it or if it even works. If you are interested I will pull it out to test it and get it over to ya!!!! Message me if you are interested.

I need more SMS games.  Is it just me, or are they hard to find?

I will always say a Master System but the original model. HOWEVER you can't go wrong with a PBC either. I say if you do not have a lot of space get a PBC and a model 1 Genesis!!!! 
 
Sega Master System is Frankie approved!!!!! 

I had all except for the converter for the GG.  The Power Base converter is nice but there is nothing quite like the real hardware.  However, like Ferg mentioned there is a snail game hidden in some of the SMS consoles but not all of them.  You will need to find one that doesn't have Super Hang-On and Safari Hunt built-in for a better chance to find that Snail game.  Honestly, I'd go for the real SMS hardware.  It's unique and nothing else is quite like it.  I loved the graphics on it better than the NES...I just wish it had better sound abilities.

You know I honestly DID forget?  I had one back in the day when they first appeared and yes it was pretty damn awesome sitting on my model 1 Genesis. 
 
Still, I love the look of the original SMS. That is something I didn't have back in the day and a while back I had picked up a complete package and realized how much I wished I had had it back in the day. I really gotta do a follow up video on the SMS someday

Original Master System.
 
BECAUSE SNAIL MAZE

Somewhere it needs to be in writing, or at anytime the author could lie and claim they never gave you permission. And technically, all music is copyrighted the moment it is written, even if not registered.
 
Odds are, if he said you're ok, you won't have any issues, since he will most likely never put in a claim. However, there have been many legal problems that could've been prevented if there was something in writing, even if it was a saved e-mail.

Last year, I made the difficult decision, Sega Master System or Dreamcast. As you probably already know, I went with the Dreamcast, and I love it. This year, I'd love to get a Sega console that I don't have. I decided to skip the Saturn and SG-1000 to buy a Master System. Before I do that, I need a new Game Gear and I could really use a Model 1 Genesis (I have a retro bit system for Genesis games). So I'm wondering, should I get a real SMS for authenticity and card games, a Master Gear for portability, or the Power Base Converter (I believe that's what it's called) to play SMS on Genesis?

Just make sure he gives you a document saying that you can use his works.  It might help you in the future to have that in writing should YouTube decide to challenge you for copyright reasons.  Better if you can stay ahead of the game.

I use music from mario64remix in some of my videos. I should probably see if he could make a MIDI remix of Open Your Heart as well as some other songs that I'll need for an upcoming project.

I've just reviewed Atari.io!
