Tec Toy and Brazil

TCW Podcast Episode 139 - Tec Toy and Brazil   We look at the video game industry in Brazil.  A big thanks to Marcus Garrett and his book "1983+1984 " which details a lot of the video game industry in Brazil.  We delve into the interesting history of outside companies operating in Brazil and the gray market that has developed as a result.  Once we have laid the groundwork we look at the company Tectoy which is one of the most successful toy/video game companies in Brazil.  They ended up partnering with SEGA to bring in the Master System, Mega Drive, and even the Saturn to Brazil.  However today they mostly refile, iterate, and provide various option of the master system and to a lesser extent Mega Drive to Brazil today.  They are the most prominent location to get SEGA hardware today!   TeleJogo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGd2txxJIBY Telejogo II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaWtddd7liQ The Splice Vision: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_kUt-vGZr0 Zillion Box and Packaging Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSTXk_FJ4PU Zillion played at night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkjmmgzL50 Sega Master System Super Compact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrOdnNTp4JM Woody Woodpecker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_k1Q4d82Tc Street Fighter II Master System: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H7bR7wzBo4 Duke Nukem 3D Mega Drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPdrJtrCi3U Monica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiEc33t5br4 History of the Tectoy Zeebo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfXoAqYZlys   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
