The Third Generation Consoles (1983-1994) improved on the home console market. In Japan, Nintendo released their popular console, the Famicom. The Famicom was rebranded in North America as the Nintendo Entertainment System. After the crash of the home console market in North America, the Nintendo Entertainment System brought gaming back to a mass audience and saved the market for video games. One year later, Sega released the Sega Master System, a rebranded version of the Sega SG-1000 Mk III. The console was not popular in Japan and in North America due to the immense popularity of the NES. Since the NES was so popular, Sega targeted Europe and Brazil as the Sega Master System's market.
