R.I.P to the Master System

Folks, we might be kicking off 2023 with some potentially bad news - The Master System Evolution has finally disappeared from TecToy’s website.

I hope the console is only temporarily out of stock following the Christmas period, but I have a feeling we won’t ever see the console be restocked again.

If I’m right, 2023 could mark the end of an era and (possibly?) the first year since 1985 that a brand new Master System / Mark III cannot be purchased anywhere in the world.

Could this be the potential fallout caused by SEGA severing its ties with AtGames back in 2018? TecToy clearly still has a relationship with the company (you can see a recent Atari Flashback and their Legends Core console for sale on their website), but since the company lost the rights to manufacture SMS/GG/MD clone consoles for the rest of the world, this presumably either extended to the Brazilian market as well, or made producing such clones commercially unprofitable. It’s also equally possible the console is no longer selling very well for TecToy.

AtGames have made some woeful Mega Drive clones over the years, but for what it’s worth I think their SMS/GG products were usually half way decent. I don’t see a reason why SEGA couldn’t have allowed AtGames to continue producing their SMS/GG related consoles. We know there’s never going to be a Master System mini and it’s not like they’re doing anything else significant with the Master System back catalogue.

In any case, I don’t see any other way TecToy could continue to produce the console without the help of AtGames or a similar supplier. Truth be told, with so many cheap Raspberry Pi like consoles running emulators available on the grey market, the days of the dedicated hardware clone have been coming to an end for a long time. This day was probably going to come sooner rather than later.

So I guess that’s it. I’m calling it. After a remarkable 37 years, the Master System is now a dead console.

The last model of Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) released in Brazil was in 2017.

TecToy will now focus only on "smart devices" and there is no longer any reference to the Sega Genesis on its official website.

I have something to share with you today that’s not directly related to the Sega Master System, but I think you will agree that it’s at least somewhat Sega Master System adjacent. It’s something that until a few days ago, I didn’t even know existed. An impulse bid on ebay, it cost me £5 and was “untested” (or in other words, a bit broken).

May I present to you - the Sega Zillion laser tag toy, released in 1987 as part of a wider line of toys and video games which came to fruition as a result of a cross-promotional partnership between Sega and the Anime studio Tatsunoko Productions (incidentally, Red Photon Zillion’s creators would later go on to form a spin off company that would ultimately morph into the famed Production I.G.)

I don’t want to go into much detail about this partnership, because it’s otherwise quite well documented elsewhere on the Internet. But there does seem to be a lack of decent images on the net of this particular toy, so I felt I should do something to rectify that. Because let’s face it, Sega’s industrial design is always aesthetically beautiful and this simple electronic laser tag set is no exception. Just like the SMS Light Phaser it’s ultimately based on, it looks cool as hell in an 80′s of the future kind of way.

How it works is quite simple. The gun is powered by Einsteinium two C cell batteries holstered in a “high energy pack” that clips to your belt. Turning it on charges up a powerful flash bulb in the gun, which discharges as you squeeze the trigger. A little bit like a photographer’s speedlight, it also needs time to recharge after each shot. It even makes a similar (and very cool) sound as it charges up.

The included target is powered by two triple As. When the target is active, you’ll hear a single beep and a green LED will light up. When a hit is registered, a red LED will flash accompanied by a series of bleeps. There’s no way to count your score or anything like that.

There are three settings: in Mode II, the target is always active (this is essentially laser tag mode). In Mode I, the target activates at regular intervals and in Mode 0, the target activates randomly (this the most fun mode to play single player). And that’s really all there is to it. Simple, but fun. I can imagine myself loving this thing as a kid. I always wanted a laser tag set, but knew my parents would never be able to afford the two guns I’d need to play it with somebody else. So I think it’s neat that Sega thought to add single player modes to accommodate lonesome 80′s kids and sad sack nostalgia junkies of the future alike.

Unfortunately, my target doesn’t work exactly as it should. Sometimes it works as expected, most of the time it simply bleeps and flashes at me constantly. Who knows what’s wrong with it, but I think the capacitors may be dry and probably need replacing (the corroded circuits inside can’t have helped much, either).

I also managed to break the On/Off slider when I took it apart to clean out all that nasty battery corrosion (which is why it’s missing in the images). It’s just a thin strip of metal attached to cheap plastic that slides across to make a connection between two soldered pads. Maybe I put it back together wrong and so it snapped off. I don’t know. Anyway, be careful of that if you plan to take one of these things apart. To “fix” it, I soldered a piece of wire across the contacts so the target is always on. Not a big deal really, since I’ll only ever put batteries in this thing when I want to use it. Like I said, my “handiwork” is the least of its problems. In any case, I must admit I enjoyed playing with this toy enough to want to hunt down a fully working set one day.

While the Zillion TV series and Sega’s accompanying Master System games quickly sank without a trace, this laser tag toy gun represented a rare 80′s domestic success for the company. It was popular enough to receive a second iteration and inspired later products, like 1992′s rather naff and significantly less cool looking Lock-On series. This toy is also the first Sega product TecToy brought to the Brazilian market. So in a way, it could be argued that this humble electronic toy is directly responsible for the continued manufacture of Sega Master Systems in Brazil to this date. Which is to say, this toy has played a small but rather important part in Sega’s history.

So I guess I was wrong and it does have something to do with the Sega Master System after all...
