That's a great write-up. I've never seen an SG-1000 outside of the National Video Game museum in Texas.
I just looked up Girl's Garden and the article is correct, it does look incredible! Parallax scrolling backgrounds, big bright colorful graphics, and a REALLY fun stage win screen.
Honestly, I love this system. It feels like this is where games really started to get fun
What are your favorite games for it?
Nothing out of the ordinary, actually. Just loved Galaga, Space Invaders and Gulkave. They were well implemented in comparison to the Atari 2600
I was just reading about Gulkave in a book I have! They said it's a must play. I'll check it out. 🙂
I'm guessing you're referring to home console games? Because arcade games of those times were awesome.
The SG-1000 is brought to my attention just infrequently enough, that it feels like new knowledge every damn time.
After all these years, I still haven't even played anything from it. It's like my brain wants to ignore its existence.
I'm not much of an 8-bit gamer but it's cool to hear about these early consoles. The general narrative is that the Famicom ruled in Japan, but it had some competition and it's interesting to see what other companies released.

Jeremy Parish has a whole video series about the system if, like me, you never heard of it: https://jeremy-parish-fanclub.neocities.org/video_series/segaiden
