Taiwanese version of the Sega Mark III distributed by Aaronix.
I was tracking this one for a long time and finally got hold of one.

Fantastic acquisition, it looks to be so complete, even down to the Aaronix bag! I hope you can find the time to scan the documents, especially the colour one, is that a brochure?

MORE FUNNY! MORE EXCITING!

Oh boy oh boy, that's so sexy :)

The color one is a soft plastic ad.
The Aaronix SG-1000 II came with an ad of this form too.

When I bought it I didn't even now there would be the manual, ad, enquete and bag so that came as a surprise. However the box itself is seriously sunfaded (the filtering here makes it look better than it is). Happy with it anyway :)

Serial number is 009887

Thanks for the serial number, at least it looks like these were made in the tens of thousands (although possibly very low tens of thousands). How about the Korea Oacs Mark III, have you ever come across one of those? Whilst seeing pictures of several Aaronix Mark III "in the wild", I don't think I've ever seen a Korean Oacs Mark III outside of marketing / advert pictures.

I did in fact, when I visited Masato (Loose-Logic) in Hokkaido.

Cool, I nearly doubted it's existance. I guess after the Aaronix Mark III acquisition the Korea Oacs Mark III is still your Holy Grail :p

Yes, both of those (the boxed Samsung Master System too)
Masato has an impressive collection.

Someone on Reddit made a post about their Korea OACS Mark III and interestingly it lacks a card slot: https://www.reddit.com/r/MasterSystem/comments/1ell8ql/the_korean_sega_mark_iii_has_an_empty_card_slot/

The owner of the Korea OACS Mark III opened it up and posted some board pics, looks to be exactly the same as the JP Mark III but with a huge jumper on the card slot, different RF modulator and an added brace on the DIN.
