Using older tech was the default experience here in Brazil, so I know the feeling, lol.

I'm from 1993 and my first console was the Sega Master System... in late 1999, when the PS2 was about to be released xD

The first game I've ever played was Prince of Persia in a PC (whose system I really have no clue what was, probably the DOS version running on a windows 3.1 or so), earlier that year tho... but I hated it.

Sonic on the Master System was the game that made me a gamer.

Then my cousin got a Mega Drive and I got to see 16-bit Sonic and holy sh... lol

So yeah, experiencing generational gaps from 3rd to 7th gen one by one was really something crazy, which people starting to game nowdays will likely never experience.

Ah Prince of Persia... My brother's best friend had it on his PC back in 1992~ (He also had a Sinclair with its quirky game cassettes lol), and I just couldn't believe how great the animations were. But PC from my perspective as a child was like a "Holy zone exclusive to the gods, begone small peasant!". I was happy with my little MSX with its Konami and Japanese greatness :D

I've never seen a MasterSystem, but little did I know that my first ever controller (which was compatible with MSX computers) was actually Master System's! My first owned game console was the MegaDrive, and yes the generational leap was glorious indeed (First game I watched on it: Mortal Kombat 2. I was a closet rascal!).

My first Master System was a brazillian model called Master System III that came with Sonic pre-installed, but my brother killed it with grape juice way back then, lol.

The one I own nowdays is actually the model sold in the USA, which considering how utterly irrelevant it was there I think there must not be that many units out there.

Sadly it's one of the two systems I don't have the original box for.
