I had to head down to a fancy suburb to pick up my Ozempic. Weather was horrible on the way there, so figured I'd better kill some time before I drove back. Since I don't eat anymore and there wasn't enough time for an arcade, I punched "game store" into Google Maps. Well, heck, like 2 blocks away was a place. https://www.player1videogames.com/ At this point, I'm at the "We have video game McDonald's at home" stage of collecting, but there's a few things on my list... and it was cool to see all these games and consoles in person... And one of the things on my list was a Sega Phaser and Shooting Gallery I still think it's the most accurate gun and game ever released on a home console. :cheers: |

Quite an assottment of gear at that place. I never got to play a lot of Sega games as it was and never got to try that gun. You have to wonder how many were made- and still exist. |

I lived on the one street in America in Southern California where everyone asked for a SEGA master system for 1987 Christmas. Ive only ever met two other people elsewhere that had one and they both lived on the east coast. I suspect it was regionally popular in limited areas. “Did you have one of these as a kid?” “Yep” “Oh, did your parents buy the wrong system? That’s usually how it happened.” “…..no, I asked for it…” “Really? Why?” :dizzy: Anyway, it didn’t have near the support of the NES so it was quickly surpassed in game quality, but a few hold their own. It had the best versions of Double Dragon and Rampage. Phantasy Star looks incredible. Shooting Gallery actually tracks where your missed shots hit. If you have a Genesis, you can already play Master System games off a $20 everdrive clone. |

Yeah, I was lame because I was broke and only had an old 2600 when everyone else was getting NESs. By 1987 I was off the map for gaming though because in spite of my awkwardness and acne I was chasing girls because I had a car and a job I guess. Timing explains why I missed so much with Sega stuff actually. |

I still have my Master System and Phaser, but I never had Shooting Gallery. I played a lot of Safari Hunt though, and always preferred it to Duck Hunt on my friend's NES. I only knew one other person in Edmonton with one. Everyone else I knew with a console had a NES. I never had many games for it, but you're right that Double Dragon was great. I also really liked Space Harrier and Wonder Boy. |
