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.

My Mega-Drive was the NTSC version that I "hacked" by clipping to accept japanese carts (that small plastic part that prevented you from using those), and of course had all those issues of NTSC/PAL selector.

I call it Genesis because a lot of Murican have no idea that it is called Mega-Drive =p

I do remember the silly discussions on which was better based on Mega or Super being of higher magnitude.

Yeah, people in USA will obviously recognize it as Genesis instead of Mega Drive, but that's only there, and let's be real, Mega Drive is a way better name xD
