"Okay. Now we just have to not di-FWUUGGHHH" - Jeff Gerstmann, immediately getting killed in Rambo for the Sega Master System
i don't care what anyone says i like the SN76489 sound over the 2A03
it's a lot less versatile. which is what makes it all that more challenging to compose for and makes it more characteristic. which are the things i enjoy
"Oh knife man! AGH KNIFE MAN!" - Jeff Gerstmann
"Rambo asking if we get to win this time. Not if we keep catching bullets like that, RAMBO. JOHN." - Jeff Gerstmann, dying again in Rambo for the Sega Master System
"you get home and HBO is there, and you're like, did you know there's full frontal nudity in Revenge Of The Nerds? and you're like, well we're watching *that*" - Jeff Gerstmann recalling the "latchkey kid" era
jeff ranting about the pause button being on the *console itself* on the sega master system, and how sometimes it paused the game but some later games used it to trigger a status screen and that meant you had to sit close to the console 👌👌👌👌
i still love the master system
