Famiconversations Episode 8
Added 2021-12-01 03:05:06 +0000 UTCWow, geez! I almost forgot to upload this one before the month was out.
I've hesitated a little bit to publish this episode, because Zoom muddled my audio in annoying ways, but sometimes you just gotta press ahead and get the straight facts about SG-1000 out into the wild. Thanks to Dylan Cornelius for helping to bring those facts to light.

FWIW, the SC-3000 did way better than the SG-1000 in Australia and New Zealand among hobbyists. Folks wrote their own software in BASIC and cassettes ended up being a bigger deal than cartridges. The SC-3000 fandom seems like a smaller version of what the Astrocade had in the US, but ultimately not enough to keep the platform alive. There's still a cool fansite at sc-3000.com/ where they offer a multicart of old software! The John Sands part of it is pretty weird and something I already covered on my channel, but it'd be nice to get a hold of that multicart and an SC to fill in some knowledge gaps.
