| # Sega Master System
 | |
| 
 | |
| the predecessor to Genesis.
 | |
| 
 | |
| surely had better graphics than NES, but its sound (fairly weak, 4ch PSG with A-3 is a lowest tone) is subject of several jokes.
 | |
| 
 | |
| this console is powered by a derivative of the Texas Instruments SN76489.
 | |
| 
 | |
| the original iteration of the SN76489 used in the TI-99/4A computers was clocked much lower at 447 kHz, being able to play as low as 13.670 Hz (A -1). consequentially, pitch accuracy for higher notes is compromised.
