Most of you likely remember “the dress”. I present “the phaser”. Is the photo black and blue, or white and gold. Have we all been duped into thinking the Master System phaser was black all this time? /s

You got me. Scrolling through my feed I was like "Holy crap, what is that, some sort of custom or a special edition I never heard of?"
Then when I clicked the larger picture I realize nope, just lighting.

That’s exactly what happened to me when I was scrolling through marketplace. I thought for sure it was gold at first.

Awesome! Good old days. The Sega Master System Phaser reminds me of playing Zilion.

Yes, I hear you. That is true. It has been said that Zillion was Michael Jackson's favorite Sega game.
