Hello, I will be reviewing this article. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 14:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to it whenever you're ready. I tend to think it's pretty interesting and it was a tough one to find information for. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 13:22, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

@Taylor Trescott: Hey, not to get antsy here, but it has been two weeks. Are we going to start soon? Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 04:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Whoops. Sorry, you were right to be antsy. Sometimes I get forgetful.

• Infobox: Why is "Cassette tape" capitalized?
  • Shouldn't be. Fixed. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
• "and other countries" How many other countries? If it's just like 2 then I don't think it would be overkill to include them.
  • Unfortunately, the sources aren't really clear on how many other countries the system actually arrived in. It is known it didn't make it to North America or the United Kingdom, but it did to Japan, Australia, and a couple of countries in Europe. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
• Gulf & Western redirects to Gulf and Western, so this article should use "and"
  • Fixed. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
• "as the SC-3000,[5][6] also known as the Sega Computer 3000,[7] as well as the upgraded SC-3000H." How come "SC-3000" is not bold?
  • It is bold in the lead already. My understanding is that you bold when that term redirects to the article. Actually, SC-3000H may not need bolding, so I'll remove it. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
• "Following the buyout in 1984" Since you have previously given the year of the buyout, it seems repetitive to state it again.
  • Fixed. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
• "defines the SG-1000 as an 'abject failure', but calls the SG-1000 and the SG-1000 Mark II" Seems like a repetitive usage of "SG-1000"
  • reworded. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:55, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I will put it on hold. Well done. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 21:32, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

@Taylor Trescott: That should be it. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 21:57, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

"Retrospective feedback highlights that the console is not well remembered due to its poor performance, but served a role in development of the Master System" - how is it possible that an article with this line can pass a GA review? Are you just going through a checklist? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:10, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

To be truthful I must not have noticed it. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 16:37, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Might I suggest that instead of starting a nitpick about a minor issue from seven months ago that we just be bold and fix it? I have done so. Red Phoenix ^{let's talk...} 20:07, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
