d of 169 members from 7 parties and 19 constituencies, elected during the Norweg
ian parliamentary election on 11 and 12 September 2005. The Red-Green Coalition,

System is a third-generation home video game console from Sega, released in the
late 1980s. The original models took game cartridges as well as credit-card-siz
ed Sega Cards; accessories included a light gun and 3D glasses. The system's har
dware was superior to that of the competing Nintendo Entertainment System, and i
t boasted several well-received game titles, but Nintendo's licensing practices
prevented Sega from acquiring many of the more popular titles. Sega failed to ga
in a significant market share in Japan and North America, but was more successfu
l in Europe and Brazil. Sales of the console reached an estimated 10 to 13 milli
on units before the arrival of its successor, the Sega Genesis, compared to 62 m
illion Nintendo Entertainment System units sold. The Master System has been sold
for 26 years, longer than any other game console, due to its continuing popular
ity in Brazil. (Full article...)
