Master System

The Master System (, Masutā Shisutemu) is a playable video game console in the Yakuza series. Multiple individuals own Master Systems, through which several games can be played.
==Description==
The Master System is a real-life 8-bit SEGA video game console first released in 1986. It was based on their 1985 console, the Sega Mark III, redesigned to fit the tastes of the Western gaming market; the redesigned system would later be released in Japan in 1987.
The in-game Master System can be used to play emulated versions of multiple real-life Master System games, similar to the arcade games in Club SEGA, though the available games differ somewhat with each installment. Only a limited number of games are initially accessible, while the rest must be unlocked by finding or purchasing their ROM cartridges. The player can choose to play each game in either English or Japanese, with the system displaying a different BIOS screen accordingly.
In Lost Judgment, the Yagami Detective Agency has a Master System, replacing the pinball table/OutRun cabinet from the previous game. In Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, the Sotenbori Daidoji hideout includes a Master System that becomes playable in Chapter 3. Agent Enzen warns Kazuma Kiryu not to break the console, noting that they haven't had much free time to collect games for it due to their busy schedules.
The Master System is purely optional and is not required for any side content. However, to achieve 100% completion, every Master System game must be unlocked and played at least once.
==Games==
The following is a list of games that are playable. Some games such as Flicky are based on their earlier SG-1000 versions, which were also playable on the real-life Master System through backwards compatibility.

==Trivia ==
*Outside of the games listed above, the secret game Snail Maze can be accessed by viewing the Master System BIOS screen without selecting a game, then holding Up, Button 1, and Button 2. This was a hidden feature of real-life early Master System models, which was removed in later revisions as other games were built into the console instead.
*Prior to its introduction into the Yakuza series and its spinoffs, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio implemented Master System emulation into Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, via an in-game Mark III console capable of playing Hokuto no Ken (1986, originally released internationally as "Black Belt").
