+ Version 8.0 (May/2004 - 91,3 KB)
- I did not believe I would update this FAQ again, but here it is. Here's
what's new in this version:
- Info about new Korean Games for the Sega Master System (from SMSPower.org).
- Information about the new Super Mega Drive III Hardware Model added to the
new section 5.2 - "Brazilian Hardware Models (TecToy)".
- Information about the five new releass for the Sega Genesis/Mega Driver
(the games are bundled inside the new Super Mega Drive III): Pense Bem 10
Jogos, Junte 4, Fica 1, Wrestle War and Força Alienígena.
- Removed the section 5.7 - "Misc: Master-to-Mega Games". It was not in the
original purposes of this FAQ, and it doesn't have much in common with my
goal with this FAQ (which is mainly TecToy's works).
- Removed sections 6.0 - "Sega Saturn" and 6.1 - "Brazilian Games (TecToy)"
because no matter how hard I can search, nothing comes to a subject about
Brazilian Sega Saturn games, so I believe that the information I received
stating that Riven was official]ly translated to Portuguese was wrong.
+ Version 7.5 (January/2003 - 91,0 KB)
- I decided I should rewrite the FAQs section, since it was a bit outdated.
+ Version 7.2 (December/2002 - 89,2 KB)
- TecToy just released a new hardware model for the Master System called
"Master System 3 Collection". The news? It is half coloured in white (looks
great, by the way!) and have 74 (SEVENTY-FOUR) built-in games! Yay!!! Grab
yours now! I mean, if you can import it from Brazil. More info about this
new hardware model in the section 4.2 - Brazilian Hardware Models.
- Also, there is a new site which is able to post this FAQ. Check it, because
it is pretty good. The URL is [
http://www.litespeedcomputers.com ].
+ Version 7.1 (August/2002 - 87,6 KB)
- Erased some few type mistakes.
- Added one more game to section 5.7 - Misc: Master-to-Mega Games.
+ Version 7.0 (August/2002 - 86,7 KB)
- Man, this is the SIXTEENTH update I do to this FAQ! And this is the biggest
update I ever did, so I will call it "The Rebirth" ^_^ Let's see the updates:
- Thanks to a VERY BIG help from Omar Cornut -- creator of the fabulous Meka
Emulator -- SEVERAL unanswered questions were put to rest (includding some
I thought that were answered!) There are too much things to list here, so
you will constantly see his name around this FAQ :) Obrigado, Omar! (Just in
case you could not figure out, Obrigado means Thank You in portuguese!)
- I was reading Genesis Game List FAQ by the Scribe, also posted at GameFAQs,
and I decided to follow its footsteps: I decided to redo this whole FAQ,
adding a lot more of information about each game, as well as my personal
impressions.
- Well, there are a lot more Genesis Unlicensed titles than I thought! There
are around 50 known unlicensed carts, so I just gave up from listing every
one of them. Nevertheless, Genesis Unlicensed Games section was put to rest.
- Instead of the Genesis Unlicensed Games section, now there is a new section
called Master-to-Mega games. The games listed in this section are a lot
more interesting to Master System fans than ordinary unlicensed releases.
See section 5.6 for further information.
- According to Omar Cornut, Nintendo of Europe never released games for Master
System, so this talk about is dead -- for a while.
- Also, according to Omar Cornut, Férias Frustradas do Picapau WAS released
for Master System. He assures he OWNS this cartridge. Ok, ok, I guess it
is now clear once and for all -- it WAS released.
- Retired "World Cup '94", since there are several sports games featuring multi
languages. Thanks to Omar Cornut for this info. Also retired "Mortal Kombat",
"Mortal Kombat 2" and "Road Rash", due to the fact these games were released
in Europe and USA too.
- Once again, a huge help from Omar Cornut -- the situation about the games
released only in Australia became clear -- there was just ONE game released
in Australia for Master System!!! The others are either nonexistent, or were
also released in Europe. Bellow is listed the new information about the games
previously mentioned, which were now retired from this FAQ:
F-16 Fighter Cartridge Format: Was also released in Europe.
Master Chess: This was the prototype name of Sega Chess. Never released.
WWF Steel Cage Challenge: Was released in Europe and Brazil.
WWF Wrestlemania: Does not exist.
So, the only game released ONLY in Australia was 4 Pak All Action. Anyways,
thanks to M.Buchan, who gave me the previous information about Australian
games, includding Sega 6 Pack Australian Version, for Genesis. Once again,
thanks to Omar Cornut for the corrections. You can see his complete SMS
Release list at:
http://www.smspower.org/museum/lists/
- Deleted "Sega 7 in 1" and "Sega Old Classics" since they were really "Sega
Top 5". Now, thankfully this mess is over.
- Several sections renamed, FAQ reformated, games added... indeed, this looks
like a new FAQ. I believe the overall quality increased by one mile. Well,
that's it folks. As soon as I have new infos, I will update this FAQ again.
+ Version 6.6 (July/2002 - 51,7 KB)
- Instead of Rarity List, it should be written Bonus Guide in the title (right
after the ASCII art). Now it's corrected. Sorry folks!
+ Version 6.5 (July/2002 - 51,5 KB)
- Do you remember that in a few weeks ago I was wondering about a Master System
version of 'Ferias Frustradas do Picapau'? Well, just forget about it - as I
expected, it was never (and will likely never be) released for Master System,
ONLY for Mega Drive/Genesis. At least, the doubt is over.
- Corrected information about Bradesco NetBanking Service in Brazil (just see
section 5.2 for more details).
- Changed the title of the FAQ quite a bit ^_^
+ Version 6.0 (May/2002 - 50,5 KB)
- Deleted some trash stuff.
- Added new questions to the FAQ section.
- Added a new game in the section 4.0 (World Cup '94).
- I messed up with Muneaki Fukushima :) It was just the japanese (and not the
Korean) version of Wonderboy 3: Dragon's Trap (though where I've got the box
shot it was listed as Muneaki Fukushima)!!! Since it is a japanese title, the
very few and wrong info about this game was deleted from the section 4.2, but
you should know this game very well ;)
+ Version 5.5 (April/2002 - 48,2 KB)
- Added more to the section 5.1 - Internet for Genesis in Brazil.
- Listed all the games present in 10 em 1, for Genesis.
+ Version 5.0 (April/2002 - 45,9 KB)
- Added some brand new info about SG-Commander 1000 (Thanks to M.Buchan).
- Recently I've got the info that 'Ferias Frustradas do Picapau' was
released for Master System instead of Mega Drive. I am almost sure this
game was not released for Sega Master System. Maybe there should be some
kind of proto of this game, but in fact I can not remember about this
title on the shelves... I hope I will find the right answer soon...
+ Version 4.5 (March/2002 - 45,4 KB)
- Redone the layout of this FAQ to fit in 80 columns.
- Added a new game for Genesis in the section 5.0 (Sega Old Classics).
- Added section 4.5 - Special: Peripherals released by TecToy for Sega Master
System.
- Several sections received small updates and some had their title/numbers
changed.
- Added the section 4.3 - Special: Games released only in Europe, for Sega
Master System.
- As people keep asking me if Master System games are easy to find in Brazil, I
decided to write a FAQ section specially based on Master System's nowadays
situation in Brazil. See section 7.0 for more details.
- As M.Buchan released a FAQ about HES Corporation, I decided that from now on,
every game added on the section 4.1 AND PREVIOUSLY LISTED ON M.Buchan's FAQ
will not receive further information but only his official title. I did this
because I respect the author of the FAQ and I want that people also read his
FAQ. The games previously listed here will remain with their respective info
and comments. If you want more info about all the Master System and Genesis
games released in Australia, see M.Buchan's HES Corporation FAQ also posted
at GameFAQs.com (
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/sms/file/hes_games.txt).
- Added section 5.3 - Special: Genesis Unlicensed Titles, with the games Action
52-in-1 (probably it's an European title) and Spiritual Warfare.
- Well, it is not an update, just a comment: thanks to the several people who
keep helping me with this FAQ, nowadays it is not convering -only- Master
System games, but also Genesis, Game Gear and Sega Saturn games released in
Australia, Korea, Europe and surely Brazil. This FAQ would never be complete
without the help I've got, so thank you very very much!
- I've got a big headache after I finished this update (and I am not kidding,
indeed...).

+ Version 4.0 (February/2002 - 31,8 KB)

about them in the section 4.3.
+ Version 3.5 (January/2002 - 29,4 KB)

2.0 - What is TecToy?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
TecToy is the brazilian company behind all Sega consoles in Brazil. The company
is known by some Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis releases (some are just
officially hacked releases, such as 'Mônica no Castelo do Dragão', but most are
brand new titles, such as 'Duke Nukem 3D', totally developed in Brazil), plus
several Game Gear to Master System ports, only found in Brazil. TecToy also
publish all the releases for Sega consoles in Brazil, from Master System to
Dreamcast. The most successful systems released by Sega in Brazil were Master
System (maybe the most), and Mega Drive/Genesis. TecToy also released a game
for Sega Saturn, which was not a very successful console in Brazil. Currently,
there are not new releases announced, nor exclusive Dreamcast games released.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
3.0 - About this FAQ
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The goal of this FAQ, originally, was to show to the people the games released
only in Brazil by TecToy, but as time goes by, some kind people keep sending
me info about all sort of games released for Master System, Genesis and Sega
Saturn outside US and Japan. Includding my own discoveries and previous infos,
this FAQ now covers games only released in Brazil, Australia, Korea and Europe
for almost all Sega consoles (with the exception of Sega Dreamcast, Game Gear
and Sega computers). As I am brazilian, this FAQ is still directed to Master
System brazilian games but now it covers almost everything about games released
for Sega consoles outside US and Japan. Now, enjoy reading.

By the start to the middle of the 80s, video games industry was not in its
better days. After 1984, everybody thought that video games were failed, but
Nintendo came with a "revolutionary" and "powerful" console that made the video
games hype grow up again all around the world. With the paths opened again, new
companies decided to jump into the world wide video game market, and so the
Master System was released by Sega. Though USA and Japan were so into Nintendo
craze that left behind the newcomer system, European and Brazilian gamers were
intelligent enough to realize how Nintendo's system was weak. Master System's
legacy started has begun. The clash against NES was not hard for Master System
here in Brazil. Through a massive marketing campaign, everything that was not
Sonic was just obsolete. By the beginning of the 90s, the company behind Sega
in Brazil, TecToy, started a pioneer job not only in Brazil, but also in South
America -- TecToy decided to develop games for a video game console. The only
previous tentative was from a Brazilian company called Dynacom, which released
the game "Mega Boy" for Atari 2600. Motivated with the huge success of Master
System, TecToy decided to sink their teeth more and more into Master System
market, and by the end of the 90s, there were around 50 brazilian-only games
released for Master System. And here they are...

============
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: 20 em 1
TRANSLATION: 20 in 1
RELEASE DATE: 1995
GENRE: Miscellaneous
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: There is not a story here. You have twenty mini-games, and
that is all. If you get sick of one, just pick up another,
and so on...
COMMENTS: The idea is not bad -- the execution is. Though you have a 20
games cart, all games are blatant and usually not fun at all.
Indeed, 20 em 1 seems like a collection of "Game and Watch"
titles, especially considering that there are obvious clones
of Nintendo's infamous series. This game was sold with Master
System 3 console in a special edition, and as far as I know,
there is no other way you can get this game but buying this
special package. Useless to say this is a VERY rare cart.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AAAAaaa

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Action Pack
see "Game Box Série Luta".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Ariel - The Little Mermaid
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Based on Walt Disney's classic. Ariel, the auburn hair mermaid
stars this game.
COMMENTS: Actually, I never played this game, so I can not give you my
sincere opinion. This is a port from the Game Gear version, so
maybe it is not different at all from the portable title.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: As Aventuras da TV Colosso
TRANSLATION: The Adventures of TV Colossus*
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Hacked Game
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: You play as a dog from TV Colosso, once a successful show
in Brazil.
COMMENTS: Never played this game, though. Since this is a hacked version
of "Asterix", which was a pretty good game, you should have a
high quality title here.
EXTRAS: This is an officially hacked version of "Asterix".
* NOTE: The title is indeed untranslatable, since it is a pun with the words
Colosso (Colossus) and Osso (Bone).

NAME: Baku Baku
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1996
GENRE: Puzzle
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Pointless and mindless story. You are walking around a forest,
and you must defeat different animals through solving puzzles.
COMMENTS: This is a pretty good game, if you ask me. It is like a blend
of Puyo Puyo and Pac Attack, you have to set animals according
to their foods -- Monkeys will only eat bananas, Rabbits will
only eat carrots, and so on. Excellent Tetris variant.
EXTRAS: The box case shows the name as "Baku Baku", but the title
screen into the game shows the name "Baku Baku Animals".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Beat 'em up
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: You are a TOAD and you must defeat foes in a Streets of Rage
clone.
COMMENTS: Though the premise seems very silly, this game is very good.
Indeed, I believe this is even better than Streets of Rage.
The graphics are smooth and the gameplay very accurate. It is
not a Game Gear port at all, the actual GG version being
different in various points. The game was developped in 93/94
by Rare (developer of Donkey Kong Country series, for SNES),
but never released to the market, until TecToy released it
much later (Thanks to Omar Cornut for this info).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Bonkers Wax Up!
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1994
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Based on Disney series. You take the role of the crazy cop
cat Bonkers.
COMMENTS: Good game. The grahics are really nice and Bonkers' animation
is quite good. The downside are the musics and sound effects,
which are bellow-average, and the far too easy gameplay. But
it is still a nice game.

NAME: Carmen World
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Misc
TYPE: Translated Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: As an ACME detective, your task is to capture the infamous
Carmen Sandiego gang.
COMMENTS: Well, there is nothing here to say "Wow, what a game!", but
it achieves the greatness somewhat. The puzzles are sometimes
quite easy if you have a handy Encyclopaedia, but if you have
not, you will likely be in trouble.
EXTRAS: This is an officially translated version of "Where in the
World is Carmen Sandiego?". Texts are all in portuguese.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum
TRANSLATION: Ha-Teem-Boom Castle
RELEASE DATE: 1997
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: Based on the popular brazilian TV series, that later become a
movie. In this game, Zequinha was turned into a baby. You play
as either Pedro or Biba, and need to revert this situation.
COMMENTS: Average graphics, sound and gameplay. If you are Brazilian,
you will even like this game, but else just forget about it...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Chapolim x Dracula: Um Duelo Assustador
TRANSLATION: Chapolim x Dracula: A Scary Duel
RELEASE DATE: 1993
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Hacked Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: You play as Chapolim Colorado (Chapulin Colorado, in the
original Mexican TV series) against Dracula. Based in one
early episode of the TV series, which is very successful
in Brazil.
COMMENTS: Though the premise is very smart, since Chapolim is really a
huge success here in Brazil, the game is too simple to keep
players interested.
EXTRAS: This is an officially hacked version of "Ghost House".

RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: You play as a weirdo character, which actually seems like the
memberless hero Rayman. One more game from awesome Treasure.
COMMENTS: Actually, I never played this game, but it seems so weird that
I immediately thought it was a bad game. Indeed, Omar Cornut
says it is a good game, so I have to play before I can say
anything.

NAME: Earthworm Jim
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: What is the only character that is crazier than Bonkers and
Dynamite Headdy? Yes, Jim! Earthworm Jim!
COMMENTS: This is one of the best games released for Master System,
nevertheless it is a Game Gear Port. The animation is very
good, and the sound is not as boring as usual. The gameplay
is also fantastic. Wacky and bizzare, but VERY fun!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Ecco 2 - The Tides of Time
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Action
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: World's favorite dolphin, Ecco, is back to the Master System.
COMMENTS: If you enjoyed the first game, you will surely like this one.
Excellent graphics and gameplay makes this game unique and
someway fantastic. A must-have if you are a collector.

NAME: Férias Frustradas do Picapau
TRANSLATION: Woody Woodpecker Frustrated Vacations
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Genesis Port (Original Game)
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: Walter Lantz's feathered mischief-maker stars one more game.
COMMENTS: I never really played this game, but it seems like a port
from the Genesis version, which was also entirely developed
by TecToy. People say that the Genesis version has a loose
gameplay, but I believe it is actually a good title. And so
should be the Master System version. Thanks to Omar Cornut
for assuring this game really exist.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: FIFA International Soccer
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Sports (Soccer)
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: World's most famous soccer series is finally on Master System!
COMMENTS: This game is just awesome! Finally there is decent soccer game
on Master System. Due to the high quality of this title, it
quickly ran out of the shelves, and became one of the best and
rarest games for Master System. Sorry, Nintendo -- you do not
have one of these for NES. It's a living...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Fire and Ice
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Original Game?
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: One more platform game for Master System.
COMMENTS: Info about this game is very scarce. All I could find about it
were some screenshots (which shows average graphics), and that
this game was really developed by the european company Virgin.
The problem is that this game was never released in Europe. So
how could this game be released in Brazil instead? My bet is
that TecToy bought the rights to release this game, which was
in a beta version. Anyway, help would be appreciated.

GENRE: Action
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Shoot everything that moves and just stay alive. Plain simple.
And also plain hard.
COMMENTS: People usually talk about this game, but as it seems it was
never ported to Master System. Quite few time ago, a version
of Gunstar Heroes for Master System appeared on E-Bay, posted
by someone who was also selling Thundercats and Primal Rage
for Master System. According to Omar Cornut, this person is
very doubtful, since there are enough reasons to believe that
the pictures were simply faked (it's not difficult to do).
Besides, the auction ended to a strange buyer whose account
was created just in-time for the auction and then disappeared.

NAME: Legend of Illusion
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1998
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Walt Disney's mouse stars a brazilian-only release.
COMMENTS: I never played this, though. Anyway, if you ever played the
Game Gear version, it is just about the same game. As far
as I know, this was the last game released for Master System,
in December 1998, together with Mickey's Ultimate Challenge.

NAME: Mickey's Ultimate Challenge
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1998
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Walt Disney's mouse stars one more brazilian-only release.
COMMENTS: I also never played this game. Again, this should be just the
same game of the Game Gear original. This was the last Master
System release in Brazil, in december 1998, together with
Legend of Illusion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Mônica no Castelo do Dragão
TRANSLATION: Monica in the Dragon's Castle
RELEASE DATE: 1991
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Hacked Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: Mônica, a character from Maurício de Souza's most successful
cartoon series, A Turma da Mônica (Monica and Friends), stars
this great platform game.
COMMENTS: If you are brazilian, and if you like platform games, than
this game is everything you will ask for. Instead of a sword,
Mônica uses his trusty rabbit toy, Sansão, against the evil
Capitão Feio (Ugly Captain). Thustworthy to the cartoon
series, this game has a lot of fun!
EXTRAS: This is an officially hacked version of "Wonder Boy in Monster
Land".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Mortal Kombat 3
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1995
GENRE: Fighting
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Destroy the warrior of the Outworld, Shao Khan, and become the
ruler of the realm.
COMMENTS: It is ironical -- how can a console be the best if it does not
have the best fighting games? This is exactly what happens to
NES, which Nintendo claims to be better than Master System,
but indeed does not has any good fighting game (with the sole
exception of Dragon Ball Z Fighting Tournament, which actually
is a great game). Well, but we have better games with Master
System: the full Mortal Kombat Trilogy, plus the superb Street
Fighter 2' and the magnific Virtua Fighter Animation. Mortal
Kombat 3 features 8 characters (plus 1 secret) and a lot of
stages faithful to the arcade version. The game is very fast.
A must-have.

TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1988
GENRE: RPG
TYPE: Translated Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: You play as Alis, and as you progress you will find new
partners in a futuristic world.
COMMENTS: Now this is what I call FUN! Phantasy Star was the very first
RPG released in portuguese, and when it was released, it got
the highest scores from several specialized magazines. The
outstanding graphics, 3D view on dungeons, nice songs, strong
gameplay and an extensive length made this title the best RPG
available for Master System. And fully in portuguese!
EXTRAS: This is an officially translated version of "Phantasy Star".
Texts are all in portuguese.

NAME: Primal Rage
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: Unreleased?
GENRE: Fighting
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Fight against Pre-Historical creatures.
COMMENTS: People usually talk about this game, but as it seems it was
never ported to Master System. Quite few time ago, a version
of Primal Rage for Master System appeared on E-Bay, posted
by someone who was also selling Thundercats and Gunstar Heroes
for Master System. According to Omar Cornut, this person is
very doubtful, since there are enough reasons to believe that
the pictures were simply faked (it's not difficult to do).
Besides, the auction ended to a strange buyer whose account
was created just in-time for the auction and then disappeared.
But, different from Gunstar Heroes and Thundercats, there may
be a bigger chance that Primal Rage was released. Thanks again
to Omar Cornut for this info.

GENRE: Platform

LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: You play as either Ren or Stimpy through different side-scroll
stages.
COMMENTS: The gameplay is too slow and plain simple to keep you hooked.
Also, the graphics are not special and the sound is just
passable. The speed is also very slow. If you are a fan of the
TV series, though, you can still enjoy this game. As far as I
know, this is a Game Gear Port from "Ren & Stimpy Show". Why
TecToy never released Game Gear Ports to Panzer Dragoon Mini,
Lunar Sanposuru Gakuen and Tempo Jr. is still beyond me...

NAME: Sítio do Picapau Amarelo
TRANSLATION: Site of the Yellow Woodpecker
RELEASE DATE: 1997
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: Based on a very successful book series by Monteiro Lobato.
Tells the story of Narizinho, her cousin Pedrinho, her speaker
doll Emília, her granny Benta, the female cook Anastácia, the
speaker rhino Quindim, the speaker corn Visconde de Sabugosa,
the speaker pig Rabicó, the speaker fish-prince Escamado, the
speaker snail-doctor Caramujo and a old black mister called
Barnabé. However, other characters appear later in the game,
such was an one-leg creature called Saci-Pererê and a female
alligator witch called Cuca. Also, some mithological creatures
in Brazil, such as Iara (a mermaid) and Curupira (a kid who
lives in the jungle and has his feet turned backwards) are
also mentioned in this game.
COMMENTS: If you do not live in Brazil, you will believe that this game
is a big crap. However the ones who ever read the book series,
like me, will believe that this game is somewhat magical. The
graphics are trusty to the descriptions in the book series,
but the gameplay is awkward. The challenge is plain simple,
and just a few hardcore fans will really enjoy this game.

NAME: Sonic Blast
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1996
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Game Gear Port
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: You know the plot: choose either Sonic or Knuckles, and make
your way to the evil Dr. Eggman/Robotnik.
COMMENTS: The digitalized voice intro "SEEEEGAAAA" is awesome. This game
is Sega's attemp to compete against Rare's Donkey Kong Country
series. And I have to admit that they did a very good job. The
graphics are fantastic for Master System's capabilities, but
some effects like the water and the loops are just awful. The
sound is good, and the gameplay is way too slow for a Sonic
title. The Special Stages are a Blast, literally! The 3D view
is amazing, and the speed is satisfactory. Overall, it is a
very good game, with top-notch graphics, but slow gameplay.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Street Fighter 2'
TRANSLATION: -
RELEASE DATE: 1997
GENRE: Fighting
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Ken, Ryu and Co. battle against evil Mike Bison.
COMMENTS: When I first saw this game on the shelves, it was like if a
dream came true. Street Fighter 2' was the talk of the town
when it was released, and finally we can play it on Master
System! The graphics are amazing. The overall animation is
quite acceptable. The backgrounds are rather simple, but it
is not a bad thing at all, especially considering the sprites'
big size. The sound is just fantastic -- a lot of digitalized
voices and original background musics! The lack of diversity
in the sound effects is the only downside. Now, the gameplay.
It is very weak, to say the least. Ok, the gameplay stinks.
The hit detection is loose and very slow. This is the only
thing that prevents this game from achieving the greatness,
though. This game was a huge success when it was released for
Master System, and it is quite possibly the most famous game
for Master System in Brazil, together with Sonic the Hedgehog.

COMMENTS: This is also another game that caused me the impact of a
dream coming true. Based on the anime series, which was first
based on the arcade game, this game features excellent
graphics (with some breathtaking cutscenes), nice musics and
sound effects and a surprisingly effective gameplay. Though
a 2 player mode is missing, the 1 player mode is good enough
to keep players interested. A must-have.

4.2 - Brazilian Hardware Models (TecToy)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NAME: Master System 3 (Master System Compact)
RELEASE DATE: 199X
COMMENTS: This exclusive version of Master System has a modern design,
and IMHO, is one of the best designs of a console I've ever
seen. It is very small (around PSOne size), and has the
cartridge slot protected by a reversible black-transparent
covering, where the "Master System III" logo is drawn. The
design is exaclty the same as the European Master System 2,
but still looks pretty cool, at least for me :) Thanks to Omar
Cornut for this info.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Master System Super Compact
RELEASE DATE: 199X
COMMENTS: I had this one. This is a portable version of Master System 3,
with NO cables. It works with 4 AA Batteries (allows around 10
hours of gameplay), and came with an antenna, to be plugged at
the top of the console, and a built-in joystick. You just need
to direct the console to a TV and play. But after 2 or 3 hours
the games will starting to get black-and-white. This is a big
problem... Later, TecToy released a special edition of Master
System Super Compact fully coloured in... PINK!!!!! An obvious
attemp to keep females playing. The TV commercial even showed
a happy girl playing. Buy it to your sister :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Master System 3 Collection
RELEASE DATE: December/2002
COMMENTS: This is pretty much the Master System 3, but with a slightly
different design. The horizontal base is still coloured in
black, but the upper horizontal half of the console is now
coloured in white. The black reversible transparent cover is
now light grey, and not transparent anymore. Instead of the
"Master System III" logo, it has written "TecToy" in the
upper left and "Sega" in the lower right. The console also
comes with two six-button controllers. Plus, it comes with 74
built-in games. Under the "Master System 3 Collection" logo,
it is written in the box "The most successful videogame in
Brazil". They are nothing short of right! :)

4.3 - Brazilian Peripherals (TecToy)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NAME: 6-Button Controller (SJ-6000)
RELEASE DATE: 1997
COMMENTS: I do not know why Master System would need a 6-Button
Controller, but TecToy decided to develop one, anyway.
According to Omar Cornut, the exceeding buttons in this
controller may work as auto fire. But, since this was
released around the same time when TecToy released Street
Fighter 2', maybe there is some kind of connection between
the game and this peripheral, other than auto fire buttons.
If you have any information about the correct usage of this
controller, please e-mail me...

NAME: 4 Pak All Action
RELEASE DATE: 1995
GENRE: Various
TYPE: Original Game (Unlicensed by Sega)
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Multi in one cart.
COMMENTS: This is an unlicensed HES release. There are four interesting
games in this very rare cartridge. They are:
ADVENTURE KID: This is like Wonderboy with fruit, milk and
eggs. Quite fun.
POWER BLOCK: A very addictive block game where you hit the
blocks and turn break then turn into items. 27 levels.
TWIN MOUSE: The best game out of the floor. In RPG which you
are a mouse and are collecting things. You can turn from male
and female mouse and it's really fun.
CAVE DUDE: You are a caveman and you beat other animals with
your club and you colect stars on the way.
Descriptions about this game were provided by M.Buchan (thank

NAME: Dodgeball King
RELEASE DATE: 1995
GENRE: Sports (Dodgeball)
TYPE: Original Game (Unlicensed by Sega)
LANGUAGE: Korean
PREMISE: Funny infantile game, which nearest cousin is the Volleyball.
COMMENTS: As far as I could see (only through pictures), Dodgeball
King is a rather good game. It seems like their counterparts
on NES and SNES, so if you ever played one of those before,
there should be no problems here. This is a very rare game,
copyrighted by Game Line Co. LTD., though it seems to be an
unlicensed release.

NAME: Sangokushi 3
RELEASE DATE: 199X
GENRE: Fighting
TYPE: Original Game (Unlicensed by Sega)
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: Fighting game in feudal Asia. Inspired by the popular Dynasty
Warriors franchise, though not officially licensed.
COMMENTS: What can I say? Only that this is the best fighting game on
the platform. Excellent graphics and the gameplay is way
better that Street Fighter 2'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Super Tetris
RELEASE DATE: 1988
GENRE: Puzzle
TYPE: Original Game (Unlicensed by Sega)
LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: You know the premise: set correctly the falling blocks, and
create lines. The more lines you create, the more points you
earn.
COMMENTS: Based on the original game by Alexei Pajitnov. You know how
to play, so there is no need to explain it again. The graphics
are better than I expected, but the gameplay is a bit slow.
Anyway, this is your only option for Master System -- and
thankfully it is not a bad one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Toto World 3
RELEASE DATE: 19XX
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Original Game (Unlicensed by Sega)

PREMISE: Make your way through the end. Enough said.
COMMENTS: Excellent graphics and too-loose-to-my-taste gameplay. It
does not prevent the game from being the runner-up to the
best platform game on the system, along with Sonic, Wonderboy
Alex Kidd.

The next chapter on the war Sega vs. Nintendo was the Ganesis/Mega Drive clash

NAME: Duke Nukem 3D

LANGUAGE: English
PREMISE: The most famous and hilarious character from IBM PC games

RELEASE DATE: 1996
GENRE: Platform
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: Walter Lantz's feathered mischief-maker stars one more game.
COMMENTS: I really like this game. The graphics are nice, and the musics
are truthful to the cartoon. Though there are technically
better games around (Sparkster and Sonic 3), this game is
somewhat fascinating.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: Fica 1
TRANSLATION: Remains 1
RELEASE DATE: 2003
GENRE: Puzzle
TYPE: Original Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: This is one of the five original releases built-in into Super
Mega Drive III.
COMMENTS: Interesting puzzle game that plays like a one-person checkers.
The board is composed by 32 tokens and your objective is to
remove 31 tokens from the board (therefore remaining just one
left, hence the name of the game). Don't expect the fun to
last more than 10 minutes, though...

COMMENTS: Pense Bem is a very popular toy produced by TecToy in Brazil.
Basically, it's a quiz game -- you have a question and four
options to choose from. Choosing the correct answer your score
raises, while a wrong answer would make your score decrease.
The game has 10 different activities, each one approaching to
a different subject. Looks fun, but it's all in Portuguese.

TYPE: Translated Game
LANGUAGE: Portuguese
PREMISE: Based on successful japanese anime series, which also became
a very successful series in Brazil.
COMMENTS: This game was originally released only in Japan, but TecToy
decided to translate it from Japanese! And I guess it was a
worthy job, since when this game was released in Brazil,
specialized magazines claimed it was a great game, and some
even said it is the best fighting game available for Mega
Drive/Genesis! A must-have.
EXTRAS: This is an officially translated version of "Yu Yu Hakusho

5.2 - Brazilian Hardware Models (TecToy)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NAME: Super Mega Drive III
RELEASE DATE: September/2003
COMMENTS: This is pretty much the Mega Drive 3, but with a slightly
different design. The horizontal base is still coloured in
black, but the upper horizontal half of the console is now
coloured in silver. Under the "Mega Drive" logo, it is written
"43 Super Jogos" (43 Super Games). The console comes with 43
built-in games, includding five new releases (Pense Bem 10
Jogos, Junte 4, Fica 1, Wrestle War and Força Alienígena).
Indeed, there are "only" 33 games, because they count Pense
Bem as 10 different games, while it is in fact a single game
with 10 different educational activities. Needless to say,
this is THE collector's piece.

5.3 - Brazilian Peripherals (TecToy)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
NAME: Mega Keyboard
RELEASE DATE: 1996
COMMENTS: Using the joystick to input sentences was a painful job
with both MegaNet systems. On top of that, TecToy released
a keyboard for Genesis, that worked out with both MegaNet
systems, and simplified the Internet access and Chat systems.
Though Sega also released a Mouse for Genesis, it seems to
work only with Art Alive and Wacky Worlds...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

5.6 - Bradesco NetBank Service (TecToy)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
FEATURES: Dial-Up Modem + BBS in Portuguese
RELEASE DATE: 1997
COMMENTS: With Bradesco NetBanking cartridge, users are allowed to
manage bank drafts, balances and some other operations on
their bank account. This service was only accessible for
Bradesco Bank clients. Bradesco NetBanking Cart was just the
same cart of MegaNet, since it came with a plug, in order to
connect in the phone line, so you were automatically directed
to Bradesco BBS, especially created to Genesis users. This
service was only accessible in Brazil, and it is not available
anymore

6.0 - FAQs
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Q1 - Is Master System still selling in Brazil?
A1 - Yeah! Master System is one of the most successful consoles ever released
in Brazil (if not the most), so it is still selling in Brazil nowadays.
Indeed, we have a retro feeling in Brazil that keep consoles such as the
Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES selling. There is an Unofficial version of
Nintendo's NES called Magic Computer that I really should mention. It has
a built-in keyboard, and when plugged on a TV, it turns into a simple
computer! There is a cartridge slot where you can plug the NES's games,
and play them through a joystick that is packed with the Magic Computer.
Magic Computer was released by Dynavision. Brazil is really a country
full of rarities!
Q2 - How much I have to pay for a console?
A2 - The price is around 150-200 reais (or 60-80 US Dollars).
Q3 - Are there games still selling for the Master System?
A3 - Surely! The newest model of the Master System called Master System 3
Collection comes with 74 built-in games, but you can always buy new
games around. There is not a wide variety in stores anymore, since
TecToy's last release for the Master System was in 1998, but there
are some games such as Street Fighter 2' and Sítio do Picapau Amarelo
selling.
Q4 - How much I have to pay for a game?
A4 - Around 50 reais (or 20 US Dollars), each game.
Q5 - What was the latest game developed by TecToy for a Sega console?
A5 - Show do Milhão 2, released for Genesis in December/2001.
Q6 - What were the latest games released for Master System developed by TecToy?
A6 - Legend of Illusion and Mickey's Ultimate Challenge, released in 1998.
Q7 - So, will not they release games for Master System anymore?
A7 - It is very sad, but they will not.
Q6 - I will send you the money and I want that you ship a console and a game...
A6 - No, please understand that this is not my kind of job. This FAQ is not
intended to have commercial purposes. It has informational purposes
ONLY, so please do not send me money, cheques or whatever else because
I will not shop to ANYBODY. Try your luck at [ebay.com] or [amazon.com].
Q7 - Are Genesis, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast also selling in Brazil?
A7 - Yes, the only systems released by Sega and not currently selling in Brazil
are Game Gear and Sega's Computers (indeed, these computers were never
released in Brazil).
Q8 - Will TecToy still release games for Genesis?
A8 - I thought so, but it seems kind of impossible nowadays.
Q9 - What were the most successful titles released for each system by Sega in
Brazil?
A9 - Sonic, obviously! Street Fighter 2' and Virtua Fighter Animation (for
Master System), and Street Fighter 2 Special Champion Edition (Mega
Drive) were also very successful. Capcom vs. SNK and Capcom vs. SNK 2
were the headlines for Dreamcast, as well as Shenmue I/II and Sonic
Adventure I/II. Sega Saturn made its way with Resident Evil, Mortal
Kombat Trilogy, The House of the Dead, Tomb Raider and X-Men vs. Street
Fighter. The King of Fighters 97, though a japanese release, was also
very successful. As for Game Gear, I just know about Sonic.
