this is sort of how I feel about the Master System. Least in the USA, it wasn't big, no one really knows anything about it. Stores that sell retro games usually don't care anything for it and don't even know how to price it because they don't get it and no one buys it. Almost the entire USA catalog of games can be bought very cheap in cart only form and not that much more for a CIB (minus a few)
It was lost in time because of the NES.
