A nice video explaining the fundamental differences between the SEGA SG-1000's video mode 2 and the Master System's video mode 4.

How can two 8-bit systems have such different graphics?

1984. Sega's first home console gets a keyboard. โŒจ๏ธ๐ŸŽฎ

Sega SK-1100. A keyboard peripheral for the SG-1000 (Sega's debut console, released in 1983).

Why a keyboard? Basic programming. Maybe educational dreams. Maybe just "why not?"

Before the Master System. Before Genesis. Sega was already experimenting.

Rare. Weird. Wonderful.

21th place: "Akalabeth1000" for the #SEGA #SG1000 (by dark).

It started out as a proof of concept (PoC) for the Sega SC-3000, focusing on the drawing routines. Later, I became interested in how the game works at its core. The GW-Basic port of Akalabeth, which is itself a port of Applesoft Basic, served as the template.

11th place: "Arpabet Speech Synthesizer" for the #SEGA #SG1000 (by Digital Fluff).

Speech synthesis using ARPABET phonemes. Technical demo showing off 2 things:
- Porting from Colecovision development kit to #devkitSMS.
- Minimal speech synthesis engine using ARPABET phonemes.
