+
+The Sega Mark III is the third version of the [SG-1000](/museum/sega-sg-1000/) system and was only released in Japan. This system is in fact the original Japanese version of the [Sega Master System](/museum/sega-master-system/).
+
+Compared to the [SG-1000 Mark II](/museum/sega-sg-1000-mark-ii/) the case has been redesigned again, a video monitor output has been added, and the system is equiped with a card slot which was also found on the first version of the Master System. The Mark III is backwards compatible with the SG-1000 cartridges.
+
+The system has an expansion port that can be used by add-ons, such as the FM sound unit or the Telecon Pack (wireless video signal). The controllers (two joypads), can still be stored on each side of the system. Many other add-ons were available (not using the expansion port though), such as several different controllers, 3D Glasses, keyboard, graphic board, etc.
+
+When Sega decided to market the Mark III abroad they redesigned the case and sold it as the Sega Master System. Though superior technically, the SMS/Mark III was eclipsed by the great success of the [NES](/museum/nintendo-nes/)/Famicom.
