Collecting All Sega Mega Drive Games - Brazil Edition

[@seguramlk]

Nice. Great to see it. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Thanks and welcome

[@joaquimneto7607]

Hello Mike. I'm from Brazil. I've always felt that the Tec Toy versions skimped on game materials in terms of quality. The manuals they saw in game boxes, for example, always came with low quality paper, among other things.

[@Ivan_Danilov.]

Дружище, в России в 90-х продавались лишь китайские пиратки, и мы даже и не мечтали об инструкциях к играм хотя бы на бумаге плохого качества.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It's interesting to see the quality difference between the four games I have now. Some have lover quality plastics and others it's the print materials. Still it's amazing to have something that someone was planning in Brazil.

[@Faraway.G]

Sega was huge in Brasil. I rember a lot of football stars from BRA talking about it. Great collection.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Yup Brasil is Sega's number one fan.😅👍

[@djberryhardkore]

That 10 game pack…damn that’s awesome. Would’ve been a huge hit if released in Australia just like the 6 game carts were.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Yup, great value for money if you had just bought your Mega Drive console.

[@T0TALLYAWESOMEGUY]

Yeah would have sold like absolute gang busters. Instead we raided the ex rental section of Blockbuster every weekend looking for value buys

[@ThomasRoyBates]

shadow dancer is so good

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I've had a lot of fun with it.

[@thepixelempire9290]

Ah I'm really glad you're covering some of the Brazilian games Mike! They caught my eye four or five years back when I discovered Tectoy were selling (with some significant degree of success) Master Systems and Mega Drives for the equivalent of about £29 and £40 respectively. I know Tectoy published a handful of games for both systems during the mid-nineties though I've never been sure as to whether they were classed as licensed or were semi-unofficial. I've only played through one: the Woody Woodpecker game Férias Frustradas do Pica-Pau. It was pretty dodgy if I'm honest, but it hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for discovering more! 😀

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Tec Toy was and I think still are a official Sega licensed distributor and publisher in Brazil.

[@DoYouNerd]

The Tec Toy stuff is really fascinating. I think it was Sega Head that really opened our eyes to it with the SMS offerings of games. Very fun stuff Mike but I hate seeing ANY part of your collection go!

Some sweet pick ups dude and nearly picked up a 6button boxed pad myself the other day but slept on it and it sold lol. Got to say loving the intro wow very impressive.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

🤣 yup that intro is for the people who remember the old video intro. I was very lucky to get the 6 button pad in that condition. It just popped up at the point I was looking for one.

[@T0TALLYAWESOMEGUY]

Hey I have PAL Shadow Dancer and Super Real Basketball CIB in Australia. Figured that there was no chance I'd have something in my collection you don't already own. Nice pickups!

[@RetroGamerBoy]

There are plenty of more common titles that I still do not have.😁

[@ogsegasteve9430]

The reality of TecToy collecting is that there are only 6 games that are EXCLUSIVE to Brazil and that was a ROUGH set to complete!. Those compilation carts are full of titles that were release in other regions first, then released in Brazil. I understand you are on a PAL mission which changes things. After completing my Genesis set, I chose to complete the #MegaGen global set by getting all regionally exclusive titles from their ORIGINAL region of first release.

[@leandrocalmon4185]

Believe me when I say that even here in Brazil we have a really hard time to find those games. And when u find it, the price is outrageous.

[@ogsegasteve9430]

@@leandrocalmon4185 i KNOW you are correct. I have all 6 of the TecToy exclusives and they were very hard to find AND VERY expensive. im glad i dont have to search or buy any other TecToy items lol.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Yup, I know about the out right exclusives. It's insane how hard they are to find.

[@hilazing]

That six button pad is in amazing condition! I thought it was one of the modern remakes for a minute, like the retro-bit ones. 🤣

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Yup, it was quite a lucky find. Especially given the thin card these were made of.

[@rodgyretro]

Always nice to see more megadrive additions, great vid Mike! Wow, I know there were so many master system games by tectoy but, I've never really looked into megadrive items, I only go for uk pal titles for my collection, so really cool to see something different, cheers for sharing! 😉👍

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I am well and truly down the Rabbit hole now😅

[@eyzmaster]

Nice haul! The TecToy compilations are great and rare!!! :D I always been lucky on the side of Brazilian Master System and Mega Drive titles. I'm from Portugal (and live in Switzerland..) and from time to time I did find Brazilian titles over there. And some Brazilian friends bought and sent me some games over the years. That's how I got Sonic Drift 2 SMS, Duke Nukem and a few others.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I've found them almost impossible to get my hands on here in the UK. When they do tun up, they are very expensive.

[@daithiocinnsealach1982]

_Show do Milhao_ was basically the Brazilian version of _Who Wants to be a Millionaire?_

Yup, I picked that up as I was playing through it.

[@daithiocinnsealach1982]

Always cool to watch the collection grow. My wife said to me yesterday “get your sonic collection out and take a picture” (26 titles so far) I said “you’re not selling them are you?” She laughed, “no, but I thought of making that joke”

[@Metal-Josh]

@@RetroGamerBoy honestly, I’m wasn’t keeping track, I like the platformers and kart racing games. And there’s a couple compilations in there. There was never an urge to get them all per say, just again kept them from since I was a kid

[@francescosmith7859]

Always enjoy the collector's edition videos. It seems like it's almost as big of a project knowing what you're missing as it is to find the games you're missing 🙂

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It really is. I'm always finding some new variant or collectors edition, or even a game I've not come across.

[@pferreira1983]

The 10 game pack is the three Mega Games compilations but they just added California Games on. 😂 Marsupilami is nice fun and I still need to get a few of the other PAL games you showed off.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Still to get a 10 game pack back in the day would have been great value for money.

[@Zobbster]

I can't remember the colour of the cable tie that came with the 6 button controller, but I do remember the box having that extra card hang flap and how annoying it was to put in my collection without having to fold it. The 6 button Mega Drive controller is my favouritest retro controller from back in the day, the d-pad was niiiiiice.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

It's a great controller, and I've had the same issue with trying to find somewhere to store it without folding the card.

[@randomretroplays3123]

Hi , how are you buddy👍. Loved the show ⭐. Some great editions to your collection. Shadow dancer is awesome , I have it ( cartridge only). The top 10 game is a nice purchase. I agree with you on the GARGOYLES thing 👍. Awesome upload as always mike, huge like 👍💯.

Hehe, finally you got Shadow Dancer! This ninja game was Epic back in the day, in Singapore. Oh California Games, that brings back fond memories. Funny I played golden Axe with the numpad of the keyboard on an old NEC 286 PC having an EGA video card (crappy 16 colors). Tonnes of fun anyway doing that jumping axe slash. That’s an incredible TecToy cart you picked up Mike, I’m envious . 😍

[@ZonicMirage]

One six-button incompatible game is Forgotten Worlds. Boot it up without holding Mode and it just glitches to a Game Over, effectively a softlock.

[@sjorspion]

Other examples are: King of the monsters, Golden Axe 2 and Decap Attack.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Ya I saw in the manual for the controller a list of incompatible games.

[@thegamingcorner4095]

Great collection Mike. One thing to check out with the six-button controller. There are, I think Four games that will not work with it at all, even with holding the Mode button down. I have two of the games. Golden axe 2 and Forgotten Worlds I can not remember the others and you will need the 3-button controller form those games.

[@djberryhardkore]

Thought you CAN play golden axe 2? reasonably sure I have as I only had the 6 button controllers and I used to play it back in the day. Definitely need to hold down mode remember it took ages to figure that out pre internet

Great video Mike. I’m really interested to see what you find with the Brizilian games as I don’t know much either. I played the tech toy version of street fighter 2 for the master system the other day. It’s super easy but I had fun playing it

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I was really impressed with the MS version of SF2 for the Master System. That console was so powerful for the time.

[@Ivan_Danilov.]

Отличное пополнение коллекции👍 Поздравляю🤝 P.S. Возможно не совсем правильно понял, но кнопка "Mode" нужна не только для совместимости, например в The Lost Vikings именно при помощи её реализован выбор предметов инвентаре.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I did not know that. I have always played that game with a 3 button pad. I'm going to try that now. Thanks.

[@JogosMofados]

Though Brazilian PALM at 60Hz is so close to NTSC (59.94Hz) that calling it PAL as true European 50Hz is s bit misleading - usually the ROMs in Tec Toy games are exactly the same as the Genesis games, only a few of them had some localization, but they're the same as the Genesis games.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I thought Brazil were PAL M which shares some similarities with NTSC. I'm not an expert so probably the last person to ask 😅

[@JogosMofados]

@@RetroGamerBoy Yes, PALM is very close to NTSC, just some differences taken from European PAL to make it 60Hz (NTSC is 59.94Hz) - which is why I said calling Brazilian Megadrive games "PAL" misleading, as people would assume games running at 50Hz, which is true PAL (and not a great experience).

[@danielbirchal]

Mike, there's an important detail: technically Brazilian games are not PAL. They're NTSC. That's because the Brazilian PAL-M standard is 60hz and it's not compatible with any other PAL system nor NTSC. Brazilian Mega Drive even have the same region code of the USA Genesis and if not all at least most ROM versions included on Brazilian releases back in the day uses the USA ROM version.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

Interesting . I've not had any issues yet running these games on my PAL mega drive, but that may be because they are compilations and the games are PAL compatible. Thanks for the info, very useful 👍

[@danielbirchal]

@@RetroGamerBoy Older games will work fine, but with newer ones, like Ayrton Senna"s Super Monaco GP 2 you may run into that. This one I've tested myself. My Brazillian SMGP2 copy runs perfectly on my american Genesis, but gives the wrong region error on my japanese MD. Donald Duck's Maui Mallard is also an interesting one, becuse it's the only 60hz release of that game. If you need help or more information on Brazillian games fell free to contact me. I'm Brazillian and still have a small MD collection myself.

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

I lived in Brazil for 25 years. Things over there are pretty much expensive, to the point that it even became somehow "part of the culture". I follow some Brazilian retrogaming channels and well know that being a retrogamer there can litteraly leave you skint. It's a quite expensive hobby; much more than here in EU. I've seen brazilian Ebay sellers selling Tec Toy SMS games here in EU for €200 or even more, the same games that we'd pay between €20-€25 (for EU versions). It really seems there an attempt to bring those infamous brazilian prices over here just because things over there can cost our eyeballs. Absolutely ludicrous.

[@RetroGamerBoy]

I had no idea they were so expensive in Brazil. I had always assumed the higher price was because they were scarves outside of their native territory.

[@danielbirchal]

@@RetroGamerBoy The eBay prices for Brazillian games are scammers for sure. I do live in Brazil and while prices are pretty high they're no THAT high. But even for me that actually live in Brazil most times is cheaper to import an American, European or Japanese cart than buy locally. Thats specially true for CIB games. That's why most of my MD collection came from other countrys...

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

@@danielbirchal It's really out of this world....Just for instance, a PS5 in Brazil costs nearly 5 minimal wages ( in Reais, the brazilian currency) whilst here in EU it cost half minimal wage (in Euros). Hight taxes in Brazil play a massive role on prices...

[@danielbirchal]

@@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625 Well, I was referring to the retro game market. Current gen game market is a very different beast. It's true that the PS5 console it's much more expensive than in other countries but in the other hand physical PS5 games and accessories are MUCH cheaper in Brazil than in other countries. Usually even much cheaper than the USA. Minimal wage just isn't a good parameter to compare since the price of the components vary according a global market while minimal wage vary according local economic conditions. But at least Brazilian economy showed some big improvements over the last years and things are slowly getting better.

[@videogamemusicrenditionsby7625]

@@danielbirchal It's indeed true what you said abou the price of components. But the thing is that using the minimal wage as reference is also a way to measure purchaising power. In Brazil, the minimal wage is currently R$1212 and a physical copy of a PS5 game can cost between R$150 and R$380. That means 12% or 31% of the salary. On the other hand, here in EU (in the country I live) the minimal wage is around €1500 and the same physical games would cost only €39 and €49. That represents just 2.6% and 3.2% of the salary. Using the minimal wage as reference is important because we can see the quantity of goods and services one can buy with a wage unit (it's impossible to know the personal income of each person).

[@Kook_Koo_Review]

Hi Mike, love the show as always. I’ve got several Brazilian PAL games too. I just wondered which manual protector you use for these? Same with the Australian ones. I’ve used RetroProtect for the UK PAL ones but they don’t have a direct Brazil/Aus one
