When you say Mark III was the Master System in the West, do you mean the Japanese Master System (which is the Mark III with its peripherals built-in)? Or was the OG Mark III called Master System in the West? This is all so confusing, haha. But I'm looking at the Japanese SEGA website and it's starting to make a lot more sense. Super interesting stuff.
