My friend’s dad worked at a local electronics store, so he was the only person I knew that had the “weird” consoles - Sega Master System and TurboGrafx-16. Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy were the favorites, of course… I liked how you got to buy your choice of weapons in Fantasy Zone.

Years later, I found my own SMS at Goodwill! I need to get a multicart because I only have Fantasy Zone, Ghostbusters, and R-Type.
