The Sega Master System supported both horizontal and vertical sprite flipping; What changes?

[Anonymous No.10650575]

The Supreme Soviet of Russia prevails in the 1993 Russian constitutional crisis and Boris Yeltsin gets successfully removed from office. In turn Vladimir Putin never gets a chance to enter politics beyond being a low level official in St. Petersburg under Anatoly Sobchak.
Oh, and I guess Master System games look a bit better, but that's a minor change.

Does the Soviet Union remain, and if so does it hold the same size as it did before? Oh, and do they make their own consoles?

The Soviet Union still dissolves in 1991. Russia was still technically the Russian SFSR in our timeline until the new constitution was adopted in 1993. With Sega Master System supporting hardware flipping that obviously does not happen and some lighter forms of the Soviet governing style continue into the 2000s. Steepler, the company behind Dendy, would probably get nationalized and selling Famiclones to other countries would become a major part of economy.

Russia developing a native game market from the starting base of clones. We could see a true stand alone nonclone in the year 2000.

Besides Pathologic and The Void, what other Russian games are there?

Man, I had one of these as a kid in Brazil It was fucking neat, even had the light gun. My dad still probably has it stashed somewhere, but I doubt it still works.
Mickey games were pretty good on it, and my console had the alexx kidd on the memory.
Also, what was that cartridge slot on the front for?

Certain games came equiped with a smaller credit card like card that was used for special features, like for connecting the 3D glasses to it.

Early on Sega experimented with selling games on small cards to save money on cartridge production. They eventially hit the limit on possible rom size they could fit in such form factor and returned to cartridges.

The Master System supporting sprite flipping will extend it's life.

TONKA still distributes it it's still a huge failure

Pre-Tonka sales would be good enough to avoid Tonka touching it.

Now you have a console that can do some neat stuff with no games. The master system failed because it had no games compared to the NES, not because of its power.

I wish TecToy's blue Master System Evolution with a 6-button controller for no reason was "wild" around here, it's tame, what's wild is outside, all the stuff that happens, video games are a good escape though, so thanks TecToy I suppose.

Master System had alot of games, it was a lack of third parties that harmed it.

I can't stand how some talk about the Master System, it was worse than the NES and had less software, it's bad in relative terms, in comparison, but not objectively, on its own its got a superb library that's still lots of fun to play with.

Master System had excellent games, more ram, more colors on screen but lacked sprite flipping.

It's good that TecToy's later releases in South America went with the Genesis 6-Button one, even if a bit excessive, it was way better for it.
