What happened to the kids that got a Master System for Christmas instead of a Nintendo?

Did they just kill themselves, or did they turn into emotionless, empty husks due to their inferiority complex?

>> No.6857556

They moved to Bongland or Brazil to settle among their kind

Master Shitstem was very popular with spanish poors too

I'm here and not only I got a master system for christmas I also got a NES for christmas some years prior
the truth is hide and seek, riding bycicle and watching cartoons at a specific time all had a higher priority over them. days where all I had to do was play videogames by myself were sad days

Nah, I like Sega a lot, and the Master System is OK. Australia-kun is a legit schizo that brings the quality of the board down, though.

Both americans and brits are annoying as fuck, both of them think the world revolve around them. Both of them are also materialistic and brand-loyalists.

Actually I was the kid who wanted a Master System instead of a Nintendo because of Rambo 2. Luckily my dad ended up selling my Nintendo for a better Sega system, which was the Sega Genesis. All the kinds in my block were insanely jealous because they were stuck with a Nintendo. Luckily I ended up buying a Sega Master System with 14 games(including Rambo 2), along with some accessories for just $60. That shit's worth over $400 altogether. I am now a proud owner of a SMS, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast.

>>6857963
Because some Americans are too immature and think that brand loyalty is more important than giving competitors a chance. Likely I was one of those kids who wanted to give competitors a chance because Nintendo shouldn't be the only company making game consoles. I feel the same way with comics because it seems every kid was bashing on DC Comics and praising Marvel, I wasn't going to be brainwashed into thinking DC sucks, so I gave DC a chance and enjoyed their comics. This was back in the 90's too when comics were very good. Anyways brand loyalty can suck a dick.

Doesn't make it any less true. I've notice it a lot. Luckily I don't have brand loyalty because I do own multiple Sega, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft consoles. I also own comics published by DC, Marvel, Image and other comic book companies.

I have noticed this too on classic gaming discord: amerikans sperging all day long about their favorite 'pizza' or burger brand, talking endlessly about how much fingie balls are better than krikstar bars (or whatever stupid brand of junk food they are used to ingurgigate) as if this was vital information. So boring and pathetic...

it's childish behavior. for some reason when I was very young enjoying a cartoon made me hate others because in my mind it either felt like I was betraying the cartoon (lol) or that enjoying another one meant I did not enjoy the first one as much as I thought I did

I agree. It's like with Pokemon and Digimon, it's okay to like both, but unfortunately you have elitists who pick one side or the other.

Megadrive fags are like vegans. If you are talking about a snes game you played they will always bring up some stupid fact about the megadrive "being superior".

My parents bought a SMS2 with about 5 games from target when it went on clearance. i think i was 3. loved action fighter and wonder boy. my boomer dad loved out run europa.

I bought a NES with 10 games for $20 from a yard sale when i was 12 then sold both consoles for $50 so i could buy a guitar.

I was a dumbass.

I think I might be mistaken, but I think this was more popular than the Master System in the States.
