I've searched, and searched and though I've found lots of FAQs giving me the facts and figures about each system, but I am wondering about an overall compatibilty chart.
Here's what I've got so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong or confused
The SG-1000/SC-3000 are "pre-Master System". The 1000 games can be played on the 3000. Can the 3000's be played on the 1000? Can both be played on the Telegames Personal Arcade? Is there a region lockout for any of their carts?
The Mark III is also "pre-Master System" but yet it *is* a Master System. It can play Master System games and vice versa. Can it play any of the SG 1000 or 3000 games? Since Sega also released a Master System later, what's the difference between the Mark III and the Master System?
Since all the systems are so closely related, is there a way to play all games pre-Master System on an SMS? If not, why?
Lastly... a good place to get SC-1000/3000 games would be.. (fill in blank). I'm considering picking up a Telegames PA to check out some of this stuff.
