Piracy was just everywhere here, people from major markets like NA, JP and some major EU countries might not realize how much that impacted the gaming landscape here.

To this day I haven't met a person that owned the NES here back then, but loads of people with Phantom System and the likes.

People would rarely even know what having original game copies was before the PS3.

But as a fellow Brazilian it really pains me to read you writing Genesis instead of Mega Drive, seriously, lol.

I was fooled by this thing as a kid:

And guess what? I had a ton of fun with this thing. I think my favorite games were Baseball, Adventure Island, Mappy, Contra, Castlevania, DuckTales 2...

A friend of mine had a Dynavision.

But the Playstation 2 was absurd here in Brazil. I got mine in 2010, and it was still very popular around here. The Xbox 360 was gaining ground, but very slowly, at least in my town.

I almost falled for the Polystation 2 and Polystation 64, but I done some checks before hand and since I already had a PS1 by this time a Polystation wouldn't satisfy me =[

And well PS2 is still popular. Bomba Patch still updates the Fifa/PES roster until now, there are GTA mods for GTA 4 and 5 for PS2 (likely San Andreas base) plus some other oddities.
