That was very interesting, it was nice to see the famous sonic 4 on the snes. would like to see the RONALDINHO'S SOCCER 64 on the n64.
I am a very poorly educated person. I am genuine in my lack of knowledge of the concept of a Grey Market. Black Market I know, but not Grey
Oh, okay. Well just like grey is in the middle of white and black, the grey market is in the middle of the white (legal) and black (illegal) markets - I thought you would've known about this, since you're into dev hardware. Some dev hardware is considered to be part of the grey market, but other stuff is just straight up illegal to have unless you're the licensed dev it was meant for.
whats amazing is not what was accomplished in territories like brazil with gaming platforms of the past like the atari/nes/sms/smd, but what the vintage gaming communities have discovered and found new capabilities of these systems for the time and ages ahead, untapped potential that of if used would of kept the 8 & 16bit era alive a little bit longer out here, no surprise to see the older platforms thriving and finding new players to enjoy the games of yesterday just like a game of today. to myself and many alike , the cartridge is not necessarily a obsolete form of data transport, to me the feel of actually owning a piece of hardware that hold a complete game in all its entirety and doesn't require to be coupled to a active internet connection or require 10gb worth of additional data and or patches to keep functionality of bug free playback to the user is where i find completion as a console gamer.
Lots of misinformation on that video, Milmar's Dactari is a bootleg console, the one actually licensed by Atari was the one manufactured by Polyvox (no comment on the multicart being presented as "licensed" lol) Magazine ad that basically is a "this is an original cartridge, here's a laundry list of how pirates will ruin your console": there are many other things but I'm too lazy to watch it again and list them all.
Not surprised they got a lot of info wrong... Drew just went to a "popular brazilian channel" (which curiously, i've never even heard before ) for his information. I wonder what they would say if they came across an Apple Vision, CCE SuperGame, Dismac VJ, Milmar Memory Game or even an Onyx Junior. Shame he couldn't contact better informed people, maybe someone from the Canal3 collectors group.
Because people from Canal3 are not fancy looking good youtubers. They have knowledge, but that does not mean it sells
Dear lord, Brazil really have some cool, obscure stuff. In general, the systems and games in the clip seems to have far better quality than the Chinese clone systems, pretty much like the Korean made systems. It'd be interesting to know if Brazilian stores are as protective against foreigners buying the good stuff as Korean stores are.
First off, I love those cases for the 2600 carts. I wish we'd gotten something like that. I still want to see someone compare TecToy's plug n play Genesis vs the Atgames ones, especially since both came out with an HDMI compatible one this year.
Lol So now when people show off their collection i can ask "But do u have the Brazilian version though"
As the others brazilians said, there are a lot of wrong information on the video but at least more people are getting to know a bit of the brazilian market. Even though people on the video got some things wrong, I'm happy Drew didn't go for someone like Marcelo Tavares (creator of the Brasil Game Show).
No, no I do not. Maybe I'll get one after Christmas when Bed Bath and Beyond has them for like $25, but there's no way I'm getting burned on an Atgames device at full price again.
