Can be considered as the first generation to harness a true potential for the creation of EOPs, as hardware overheads were too restrictive in systems released prior to this period. text/html 2022-05-11T02:31:56+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://io55.net/wiki/eop/video_game_consoles-home/3rd_generation/sega_sg-1000?rev=1652236316&do=diff Sega SG-1000 Sega's true first entry into the home video games market, being a (mostly) Japan-only system. Releasing July 15th, 1983, the SG-1000 is quite similar to the Master System with it's Zilog Z80, 256×192 output resolution with 16 colors, and 1KB RAM. Accomplishing little, the SG-1000 was enough to convince SEGA to release the Master System, known in Japan as the SG-1000 Mark III, worldwide.
