videogame memories

I was reminiscing the other day about the time when I got my SEGA Master System. It was sometime in 1994, my dad finally had enough of my asking for a new videogame console and we went to the store with the intent to buy the SEGA Mega Drive that I wanted.

When we got there, however, the Mega Drive wasn't available anymore, and the clerk said they could bring one within 2 days, but I knew better. At that time, here in Brazil, it would take at least a week or two to arrive. I was so adamant on the intent of bringing a console home that day that I decided to pick up a Master System they had on the store. 

It came with Sonic the Hedgehog built-in on the memory, and boy did I play that game a lot.

I just wonder how it would be if I had got the Mega Drive instead. How different my, well, life would be? What game I would have gotten? One thing is for sure, I'd probably miss Phantasy Star, one of my favourite games ever.
