Shout out to a lot of friends from Brazil. Bring those TecToy stories!
So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story
Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

Yeah! I ran across an ad for a Tectoy Master System a couple of weeks back that had one built in, and it worked surprisingly well when I looked up a vid of it in action.

PRGE 2025 pickups! I grabbed a few items off my wishlist: Pilotwings (CIB), Resident Evil 2 & 3 for GameCube, Super C (CIB), and Kirby’s Dreamland 3 (SFC CIB).
I also got some unexpected stuff, such as the TECTOY SMS, Wario Land records, Gundam SMS games plus a few other titles and magazines.

Das pequenas gestalts fechadas da vida: eu tenho vários jogos na minha coleção de Master System que estavam em caixas de locadora, comprei 8 caixinhas da Tectoy por um preço bacana e pude substituí-las. Tem jogo que tava completo com manual, inclusive, agora tá tudo certinho

Bacana, ai sim ein, espero que um dia você consiga completar uma possível coletânea de todos os lançamentos oficiais do Master pela Tectoy, dificil, mas eu acredito na sua capacidade, você é daora.

tectoy, the company sega partnered with, went above and beyond to help make sega a success in the country, adapting some of their games to feature nationally known characters, such as the cast of brazil's biggest comic strip monica's gang or el chapulin, a popular tv show at the time (3/x)

at a time where computer costs were expensively prohibitively for most of the population, tectoy and sega's partnership provided a current and cheaper alternative to many. as someone raised in a small town, ive never had the opportunity to see a nintendo console sold locally, yet sega's were (5/x)

even as sega's time in the spotlight came to an end, tectoy would continue releasing mega drive and master system systems as plug and play machines for much cheaper than other systems were available for. shoutout to the mega drive 4 and its guitar accessory. (6/x)

I think multicultural gaming history is beautiful. I love learning about stuff like how SEGA & TecToy dominated Brazil, or about how Microcomputers were popular in the UK, or how bootleg Famiclones served markets in places like Eastern Europe and Southern Asia, stuff like that.

incrível que, se não fosse pela sega ter feito parceria com a tectoy nos anos 90, e a tectoy não tivesse se importado tanto em manter esses consoles vivos, eu não teria a chance de experienciar o master system tão cedo....e provavelmente me levaria a ter menos interesse em jogos velhos.
heres some fun gaming trivia, something you wont get from the prick in the screenshot's book
the reason why sega was so successful in brazil is because they partenered with a local company that not only manufactured the console but also localized games in portuguese, like phantasy star I (1/x)

Produced in association with Tectoy, Supergame focused on Sega machines, though here they're warming up for going multi-format in a few months time with a 'GamePlus' section about other consoles and PC.

Even funnier is the fact that the Master System and Game Gear escape this treatment.
Both of these were also sold in Brazil by Tectoy and Majesco also did a Game Gear re-issue

Fun fact, pretty much all of the master systems sold in brazil around the early 2000's were mega drive/genesis systems.
MD has a MS compatibility built in, so to cut costs, Tectoy just ordered a bunch of MD system on chip, lock the mega drive part of it and sold them as mega drive.

Nintendo had struggled to get a foothold in Brazil ever since its earliest attempts in 1993. It was the only region where Sega decisively - and overwhelmingly - beat Nintendo in the console wars, thanks to a strategic partnership with Tectoy.
