"It Bounces, It Pounces, It Gets The Job Done!"

Hey, friends!

Over at the Sega8Bit forum, I was chit-chat-pitter-pattin' with ma peeps! I was explaining to them that in Buzdekastanopia, the SEGA Master System was released as a "The Amazing Kersploschki Video Entertainment Gaming Fun System!" There were five models. Let's begin...

1. The Amazing Kersploschki Video Entertainment Gaming Fun System! - This model was basically a computer with a paper plate super-glued to the top. It had a sticker that said "Kersploschki" on it, but that's about it.... It couldn't even play SEGA games! It included a cupholder, though, and there was a pair o' fuzzy dice! The original retail price was about 3,000,000 Buzdekastanopia Coins...So after using intense study...It's about...Hmm...1,000,000,000 Euros.

2. The Kersploschki 1.5 - A sequal! Oh, joy! Thankfully, this one actually plays games. I'll post a picture, soon. This was bigger than the first model, though, so I have no clue why they made it. The price? 5,000,000,000 Euros.

3. Super Kersploschki Strikes Back! - Okay. This was a microwave with a motherboard of a SEGA inside, and the cartridge slot underneath it. Came with a warning saying "DO NOT PLUG THE WHITE CORD IN". That was the cord to the original microwave. This was the "compact" version, so it was cheaper. Only 500,000,000 Euros.

4. Mega Kersploschki + 10!?! - Okay. By now, they should have discontinued these things. This was their "MEGA" console, which was the Kersploschki 1.5, but with a bigger screen, and a "MicroTechnology Little Video KreditKarte", which actually meant "Credit Card" in German. They're geniouses over at Kersploschki Labs! This could play those little SEGA cards. It often bent them, though. Retail price : a mere 10,000,000,000 Euros!

5. MicroKersploschki 4.5 + Q?!? - No clue what the title meant. Apparently, it came with a sticker that says "Q = 0.5...Which means fun!" Please, don't! This was a "handheld" Kersploschki, that could only play cartridges. In other words, a GameBoy with a Kersploschki 1.5 attached...Retail price is...(Drum Roll, Please!)...2 Euros! That's right! Apparently, these were made from parts salvaged from a dumpster, so there you go!
