Summary

The Console RPG Quest continues with a look at the Sega Master System and Game Gear: two consoles that were overshadowed by their competitors from Nintendo but nevertheless gave us some quality RPGs (mostly Phantasy Star). Kat and Nadia and explore Sega's early 8-bit legacy, talk about some of the notable RPGs to appear on each (and the SG-1000, too), and ponder why the Master System's RPG library isn't stronger.

0:00.0	Welcome to another episode of Acts of the Blood God, US Gamer's official RPG podcast.
0:19.1	I'm your host, Kat Bailey, joining me, as always, my lovely co-host,
0:22.9	Nadia Oxford. Hello, Kat. I'm sorry about the sharks. I'll survive. They're not really my team
0:28.7	anyway. I just kind of like them because I happen to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I know a lot of
0:32.6	sharks fans. Yeah, I know, but I was just kind of voting for them anyway because I also know a lot of shark fans.
0:39.7	Really? How do you know so many sharks fans?
0:46.2	Basically, when someone from that area finds out I'm from Toronto, they asked me, like, oh, do you like hockey?
0:50.9	Because a lot of the sharks fans I find are, like, really dedicated to their pursuits.
0:56.1	Yeah, you have to be dedicated to be a Sharks fan, given that they are the,
1:02.8	one of the most minimized teams in the San Francisco Bay Area, sadly, because they are based in San Jose and also hockey. And also hockey. Yeah, that's really a shame. It happens a lot. That's probably
1:08.3	why you probably get a lot of hockey torts in
1:11.0	that area, that is people from Canada who make it a point to go down and see games in American

1:22.3	There are a lot of expats down in San Jose, so they end up going to the hockey games as well.
1:29.1	That's not to say that San Jose doesn't love the Sharks. I would say that when on Sharks game day, downtown San Jose is
1:34.6	definitely hopping to the extent that that matters because San Jose is not a big city. And the downtown
1:43.3	area is not that great. Sorry, fans fans of San Jose I speak only the truth
1:48.3	I've never been to San Jose yeah there's not really a good reason to go except for sharks games
1:54.1	yeah except when they the sharks like are worthy doing something worthy of celebrating so Nadia
1:59.2	how goes your journey through Trails of Cold Steel?
2:03.0	It goes quite well.
