Sega Master System Compact

The Sega Master System had continued success in Brazil, while it was in decline in Europe and North America. The Tectoy company from Brazil produced portable Sega Master systems, of which the Master System Super Compact is one.

The system is a handheld version of the Master System, and the cartridge is inserted into a cartridge slot on the backside of the system. The unit can be powered by an adapter or by batteries, and there is a thumbpad controller right on the device itself. Additionally there is also a controller port so the user could plug in a regular Sega controller.

The unit has a Mark III Telecon pack built-in which allows it to broadcast an RF signal directly to the Television, so no wire was needed to play the games. However there was a lot of interference if the player was too far from the TV, or from other devices. Additionally the console could be plutted into the tv using a cable.
