Welcome to Sega8bit.com, one of the few fan sites dedicated to the Sega Master System. The aim of this website is to build upon and maintain a community for all those who still remember the glorious Sega Master System.
The site itself provides a games database, which should provide screen-shots, box texts, manual scans, images and cheats/tips for your favourite games of yesteryear. A great deal of information can be found on this website, but it is more aimed at the gamer or collector than technical boffin, and is by no means comprehensive, neither does it aim to be. What is most important to us is your opinions, your stories and your memories of playing these great games. If you can capture those on a game review then please share them with us.
