That's some classic 6502 vs. Z80 right there. Master System
especially set itself apart by having way more memory and better
video hardware. In general, Nintendo won by simply having better
games (also, I prefer 2A03 sound to SN76489, though the YM2413 on
the Mark III smokes both of them on the games that actually use
it).
But the real kicker with Phantasy Star in particular, is it came
out three days _before_ Final Fantasy, yet if you compare them
side-by-side it's not even a fair contest.
