The Retron 5 is compatible with the Power Base Converter to play Master System games, but those things are really expensive and pretty hard to come by. Stone Age Gamer is making a 3rd Party Master System converter that will let you play Master System games (non-card games) on the Retron 5 for $18. They normally sell the converter by itself for $30.

You know because NES, Famicom, SNES, Super Famicom, Genesis, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance are not enough.

Worth canceling my Amazon Preorder?

Edit: Also, you might want to add that they charge immediately for the preorder.

22 dollar shipping for me which definitely means a no go.

Ups Ground was a cheaper option for me but how do we know the converter is going to work?

Third party and First Power Base Mini Converters do exist. There are not many of them around (the first party mini converter never came to the USA), but they did make them. It's not like there's much to them aside from being a Genesis cart that accepts Master System carts on the top. Stone Age Gamer also guarantees that it will work, so I presume it should.

 
At least you didn't choose Odyssey 2 over Atari 2600 or Mattel Intellivision. I had a friend who did that... LOL

(I was lucky because I had both 2600 and Intellivision. :) )

Yeah, but Phatasy Star was pretty damn amazing though. :) I can't remeber, but wasn't it something like $70 MSRP when it was released?
