My cousin was the only person I've ever known to own a Master System. I didn't even know that he had one until I got a Genesis. He did have a couple of games that I was envious of, though. I really liked The Flash television show and was jealous that there was a game for the Master System. Also, I remember Superman being a better game on the Master System than the Genesis because you could fly whenever you wanted to! I liked the Spy vs. Spy game, too, good fun. And Sega made Chess for the Master System but not for Genesis, I never understood that.

Ok, Power Base Converter question time!
Has anyone else experienced the "chaser cartridge effect" with their PBC? I mean, games that don't boot up on their own, no matter how clean they are, but boot up fine if another title is booted up first? So far, I've had this happen with Maze Hunter 3D, Bomber Raid, Rambo III and Penguin Land. They don't boot up by themselves, but work fine if I put another game (usually Kung-Fu Kid) in first. Perhaps the first game "warms up" the PBC or something? It's really weird.

I have not noticed that. I'll have to try that with some of those titles and see if they work the first time. I did have one PBC that almost stopped working completely, though.

agostinhobaroners showed me a Digital Press thread that mentions how PBC converters are inferior to those in MS consoles and tend to die faster, resulting in glitchy play. Changing the capacitors fixes this.
Anyone here ever change the capcitors in a PBC?

I owned a PBC shortly after I got my Genesis way back when and it was a crap shoot whether it would play my carts or not. I never did try starting multiple carts in a row to see if that worked. It was just an exercise of resetting the PBC and messing with the screw on the back to get the Master System game to work.
I would be surprised if the Power Base Converter had capacitors on board, it should just be a simple cartridge pin pass through device. I haven't seen one taken apart though.

Good work man.
