|
|
I came across these recently at a local game shop.
I thought you guys could appreciate what a neat find it was to come across them in the wild in the U.S.! ![Cool](images/smiles/icon_cool.gif) |

Were these re-releases for the majesco game gear or something? I've never seen those weird cases before. |

Is there anything (like a name of a company) on the back? |

TecToy... so they must be of Brazilian origin. |

Indeed! They seem to be authentic licensed TecToy games from Brazil. How they made it here, I don't know... but Sonic Chaos interested me the most, so I bought it.
Here's some more images of the back of the box, as well as the cartridge itself. I enlarged the font on the back of the cartridge so that it's hopefully easier to read.
Apparently, TecToy uses the same generic box art for all their Game Gear games. |

Hah! I was there recently! I didn't notice the Tec Toy logo, just thought they were repackaged like NGPC games.
I was nice enough to separate all the 7800 games, though.

Cool! I wouldn't mind visiting sometime. TecToy did make some interesting Brazilian exclusives- it would be fun to pick up a few of them. |

Sorry, I meant I visited Great Escape
Where else in town should I hit up for retro games besides McKay's? |

Oh, gotcha! That makes sense. I'll have to check out McKay's!
I haven't been to the Nashville one, but there's a local chain called Game Trader. The Murfreesboro store is pretty decent.
If you don't mind driving a bit further, there's a satellite Great Escape in Rivergate as well. There's also a cool hole-in-the-wall type place here in Murfreesboro called Media Rerun. I definitely recommend either of those if you're in the area.
Plus, of course, Play N Trade. |

Thanks! Great recommendations! There's also a couple Game Galaxy locations, which are mostly an arcade, but they also sell retro games. |

You're welcome- and thank you very much, Hiroshi!
Indeed- DreamTR's place. I have heard of Game Galaxy, but I actually didn't know that they sold retro games. Quite interesting. Might be worth stopping by sometime... |
