| To do: More revisional and regional differences. |
Version Differences
Built-In Games
Most versions of the Master System had games preinstalled, accessed if the console was turned on without a cartridge inserted.
- US/EU v1.3 (1986): The original retail release. On this version, press Up + 1 + 2 on Controller 1 on the instructions screen to play Snail Maze.
- v2.0 (1987): An uncommon version, uncertain region. Does not have Snail Maze.
- JP v2.1 (1987): Does not have Snail Maze.
- US/EU v2.4 (1988) with Hang-On & Safari Hunt. This and the next version will load Snail Maze if Up + 1 + 2 are held on Controller 1 when the BIOS intro is finished.
- US/EU v3.4 (1988) with Hang-On
- US/EU v4.4 (1988) with Missile Defense 3-D. Released in "Super System" bundles that did not have the game as a separate cart. Snail Maze is absent from here on.
- US/EU Master System II (1990) with a slightly altered version of Alex Kidd in Miracle World
- EU Master System II (1991) with a slightly altered version of Sonic the Hedgehog (the game's ending sequence was removed to fit in the BIOS). While this and the below check all three slots (cartridge, card, and expansion), they were used only on units that omitted the latter two.
- KR Super Gam*Boy II/Aladdin Boy (1991?) with Alex Kidd in Miracle World
