Sega Master System 2 for me, my sister had a NES and I was extremely jealous of Duck Hunt and the gun that came with it! Memories of a simpler time!

I had the big Mastersystem thinking about buying a new one. Was Mastersystem 2 just the slim version?

Yeah it was the smaller, more rounded one. It played the same game cartridges etc, so basically a slim version yeah

Same! Took me a minute to figure out that it came with Alex Kidd in Miracle World installed and booting the console without a cassette inserted would launch the game...
