The absolute dominance of Sega Master System in Brazil is one of my favorite gaming idiosyncrasies, great video!

[@elnoel1220]

It’s mad how the system is still going over there. They’re gonna be blown away by the time they get the Sega Saturn.

[@ElShogoso]

I wouldn't say it was completely dominant, there were NES clones competing appropriately here too (like the Phantom System by Gradiente, Turbo Game by CCE and Dynavision by Dynacom, the latter of which was in production all the way until the mid 2000's). The Atari 2600 was also huge even while the NES and Master System were current. It's just that, somehow Tectoy still hung on to that Sega license to continue making those master systems. They also made Mega Drives, Saturns and Dreamcasts so basically the whole console line except the handhelds.

[@james__page]

1:18 the reason Sega partnered with TecToy was because of insane import tariffs in Brazil. The MS would be unaffordable if it came from Japan. So, they built them in-country under licence to get around this. Similar arrangements exist today, for instance doing part assembly in the US and then final assembly under licence inside China for domestic sales.

[@arturpaivads]

Yeah, both Xbox and PlayStation are actually final assembled in Manaus and they even have the "Produzido na zona franca de Manaus" on the box.

[@retrogaming3gp]

Argentinian here. Nobody knew the Master System back then. In fact, kids argued about “Family vs Sega” (Genesis) ignoring that they were from different gens. And also, ignoring that the SNES existed. Then PSX came, and nothing else mattered.

[@faberfox]

That's not true at all, it was pretty well known and sold in major retail stores like "Garbarino", quite a few years before the family games flooded the market. It didn't sell a lot because it was expensive compared to the then popular home computers, with the C64 taking the throne.

[@lvl90dru1d]

haha, basically the same situation was in Russia, Famiclones (Dendy) vs Megadrives (original and clones) vs 3DO/later PS1 Master Systems were uncommon for some reasons: 1) they were available for the unholy prices in 1990-1991 (5000 of them were imported from Brazil) 2) you can import it, usually from ex-East Germany (most consoles on the second market got there this way) but this wasn't for everyone too 3) or you can buy it officially as late as 1994 (too late, huh?) And SNES was just as expensive as 3DO/PS1 but only as good as Megadrive, so there was no proper market for it

[@Jokerwolf666]

I am Canadian and Master System Model 1 was my first console.

[@SteveBrandon]

Yeah, same here, if you don't count the Commodore Vic-20 as a "console". While I know that the Sega Master System was nowhere near as popular in Canada as it was in Brazil, I think the Master System was a bit more popular in Canada than in the United States on a per capita basis. This is just anecdotal but there was a good two to three years up to about 1990 when most video rental stores in my area (just west of Montreal) stocked Sega Master System games in addition to NES games and even a few TurboGrafx-16 games. Obviously, once the Sega Genesis gained steam, the rental stores liquidated their Master System game selection.

[@ConsiderMeMilesDavis]

Same, bundled with Outrun... That is maybe my most memorable Christmas morning.

[@Jokerwolf666]

@@SteveBrandon if Sega had promoted their power base converter better than they did I think more places would have kept their games for rental.

[@SteveBrandon]

@@Jokerwolf666 It's possible but I think the Power Base Converter was always going to be a niche item considering that many of us who already had a Sega Master Sytem weren't going to spend extra money just to be able to play Master System games on the Genesis when the Sega Master System we already owned still worked fine (I was too young to care that much about saving space) while many people who never had a Master System but who wanted a Genesis for its 16-bit graphical power weren't that interested in being able to play 8-bit games on it.

I don't think nostalgia is the only motive for the Brazilian 8-bit ongoing market. Brazil has very high taxes on imported gaming consoles (Xbox, PS, and Switch), which makes the market more creative and accepting of the old classic gaming consoles.

[@kaiosobreira]

hey uhh... brazil tends to use both 110 and 220... maybe if you look at the sticker in the bottom it might say what voltage it accepts...

[@kaiosobreira]

btw i got a atari 2600 made in brazil thats multivoltage and it says "apple vision video game" on it. pretty decent shape

[@evefavretto]

Yeah, I think that Master System should be perfectly capable to run on 240V, since it's a switched PSU meant for Brazil. And since it's, again, a switch mode PSU, the lower 50Hz also shouldn't be an issue at all.

[@arturpaivads]

You're probably right. Our mish-mash power grid mads we adapt to both voltages really fast. Even non-switching power supplies tend to have a switch (no pun intended) to change the transformer coil ratio to both 110 and 220, or 127 and 240 per our standard.

[@AutieTortie]

We only have 230V where I live, but practically ALL appliances are rated 90-240V. So thay gives absolutely NO indication of what the actual supply in Brazil is.

[@evefavretto]

@@AutieTortie 127 or 220V nominal, always at 60 Hz.

[@StreborKram]

Glad to see your recent flurry of videos. You add the uk-quirky dimension to the mostly us-based retro gaming scene and I'm grateful for that!

[@pedrodossantos5890]

by the way, brazil uses both voltages, so its pretty common to see 127v/220v on a power supply, there was a time where the standart was 110v, some old houses still using it, as well as the other standart, 240v, so almost everything runs on 110v to 240v 60hz

[@daniel_lucio]

in fact 127V

[@arturpaivads]

Any remotely modern device here can run from 100v to 240v. Some with switchs to toggle. The only things that are not fully suported are resistivd stuff and motors, but even then I saw progress in the form of a full range hair drier and a vaccum pump, i do think that theres other stuff. Also, i dont have ways to test but by the label it will also work with 50hz. We call them bivolt.

[@volvo09]

​@arturpaivads crazy Are the plugs different for the higher voltage homes?

[@arturpaivads]

@@volvo09 Nope. Same plug, imagine the share of burnt devices plugged in the wrong voltage. This is not a problem at your own home, you normally use a single voltage across the house and have only a few marked sockets for the other voltage if your region have both but elsewhere, including hotels, you need to be aware. And there are regions that are only 220v, regions that are only 110v and regions like mine that have both in the form of split phase, which is really at your choosing if you want 110 or 220 at your house. Luckly most modern eletronics can switch automatically to both Ironically we have two types of plugs for 10A and 20A. But not for 110v and 220v. Although the 20A plug just has bigger pins so you can plug 10A devices in 20A sockets. Its a neat design but they should have done the same for 110 and 220, specially since in most cases plugggin a 220v device on 110v nothing happens, but the other way around is a sure smoke situation.

[@evefavretto]

@@arturpaivads well, we have NOW (actually, for about 14 years or so it's been mandatory). Before that, it was a mess. I have a microwave that is 220V with the US plug (flat blades).

[@kjrehberg]

I honestly thought to begin with he was just taking the p*** - until it came back again.

Man, sometimes I kinda miss the wood veneer TV (singular) we had back in the 70s. The high pitch whine from CRTs were especially bad with that one. Then, in 1980 we got another wood veneer TV (a Grundig!) only this one had a REMOTE! And not as bad a whine. The remote looked like a Jaguar controller and was about the same size as the TV for all the two channels we had available for our viewing pleasure.

Man i was enjoying the video, then that hero wars garbage came up.

[@tigheklory]

NTSC isn't 30fps, it's 60hz interlaced and since the consoles from that era were 240p the result is a 60fps result .

Heck, TecToy is now "manufacturing" (i.e. building from chinese components to get tax breaks) credit card machines.

[@mjetektman9313]

You should also do a video on Zeebo, a failed console TecToy made, released here in Brazil, and some south america countries, and Mexico

Over here in the states, we I had the NES, but my older cousin had the Master System. I loved the Master System.

[@CptJistuce]

In the US, the Master System was distributed by Tonka. They really had no idea what to do with a video game system, so it languished.

[@noneed4me2n7]

Up and comers can learn basic programming on these even if the skills no longer translate as well to modern hardware. It’s nice seeing older consoles still getting new releases.

[@madson-web]

I owned a super compact at time. The idea os playing wirelessly was nice

[@vasileios6301]

I have the same Panasonic 14'' tv,fantastic. It even has a screensaver (rotating colors)

[@kdub175]

no battle toads 😓

[@volvo09]

That game kicks my ass Edit, but was it released on the master system? I've only seen it for the NES.

[@persechini]

man, I had almost forgotten about pal-M 😆😆 I had my snes playing in grayscale for a few days before my dad got a signal converter, who knows if it added any latency, I was none the wiser. Later our TVs adopted ntsc compatibility along pal-m

[@dragonlash]

I own one of these, dunno where it is, but I have great memories of playing pitch shifted Sonic 1 lol

[@Sindroms23235]

10:07 I will just assume that you will return to this somewhere at the end of the video as well and not watch the rest, I suppose. Christ.

[@Colin_Ames]

Nice to see more frequent videos. I can live with the tacky sponsor ads.

[@Wiedadde]

Master system II was my first console and i still have one at home 😄

[@LegoBob4123]

A most likely terrible mobile game that has a silly song? It was catchy enough for me to watch through (but I'll never touch it)

[@GamingBoyColor]

as a brazilian, i have no real idea on why theres master systems still, we also have pretty much all of the main consoles of today, we're not poor to still need a master system

[@battmann7089]

Good games may well be the answer.

[@rafaelsierra7287]

Brazilians will be fuming when they listen the Portuguese lady speaking

[@ammosophobia]

Dr Limpeza was the assisstant to Dr Moniz, who invented Lobotomy.

[@reviewofthepast4047]
