Having previously written the Nintendo DS article really puts into perspective how complicated technology has become. The Master System is very straightforward by comparison, even after some 'technical nitpicking' I may have expressed here and there.
Anyway, I hope this article provided you with a comprehensive overview of the state of technology of the early-to-mid-80s. I also want to thank the smspower.org community and the /r/Emulation discord for reading the first draft and pointing out lots of corrections and suggestions.
Until next time!
