[Rom Hunter]

Thanks!

 

[+SpiceWare]

I got a Question

 

Has ther been any Piracy of any of the Homebrew Games (Vault Assult, Climber 5, etc.)

in Brazil Yet.

 

From this, I'd say yes.

### I added some names of games and images from cartridges:

 

- Page 2 (Digivision)

- Page 7 (Vid Game)

 

 

 

> It was reported on page 23 about the cartridges "Splice Vision" (manufactured by the company "Splice").

This company also manufactured cartridges and console for Colecovision.

These cartridges are rare to find.

 

# Games:

 

- Megamania

- Pitfall

- River Raid

[Rom Hunter]

Thanks again, Sr. Ferraz.

 

I have a question about these Splice Vision carts:

 

In our database, these titles are mentioned for Splice Vision:

http://www.atarimani...r=2355&step=200

 

But I have the feeling that the ones with the typical Brazilian names only belong to the Splice cart list, found here:

http://www.atarimani...orre_20856.html

 

Is that correct?

Dear Rom,

 

I don't have cartridges from Splice Vision, so I can not help, these cartridges are rare...

If I see some new game name I add here.

I can't edit my post on page 29 (# 725), I put here 2 more pictures about the console "Atari Eletronica".

One is of a different label (console), the other is the paddles ("Controle Reostato").

In an auction with many cartridges, I found another cartridge from the 300 series of 'CCE' (3xx). On pages 21 and 22 I report about CCE cartridges.

The front label has some painted parts (children, other labels were so) and note that was 'ripped' just below the image (where originally written the name "CCE").

The name of the game is "Q,Bert (C-318).

These cartridges use the name "CCE" but they have pictures of cartridges manufactured in Taiwan (Taiwan Cooper), see in the image below from a cartridge (box) of Taiwan with the same game.

Another difference is that this cartridge uses the name "Q,Bert", CCE uses the name "Q-Bert"...

Another name of cartridges manufactured in Brazil: "Ultra Vision".

The image is bad. It was in a lot of cartridges in an auction.

Unfortunately the seller did not inform me the name of the game...

 

 

Excellent week !

Many thanks, Sr. Ferraz!

 

This proofs that the CCE 3xx series were indeed Taiwan - Cooper Black carts.

 

All added.

I think i have some Splice Vision carts, unfortunately my collection is currently boxed up in storage :-(

[ianoid]

I'll contribute here with some new pictures of my collection.. Canal 3 stuff I have.

 

Of course, boxed ones and the cassetes are the stars here. All the cassetes have instructions, some right along the cover, some on the back side.

 

Also shown: Canal 3 Superchargers. One is the hardwired variation (fixed cable).

 

Do you know if Canal 3 tapes for the Supercharger came with outer boxes or packaging? Or did they just have a plastic case and insert like most cassette tapes.

 

I suspect that the cardboard boxes pictured are for the Canal 3 cartridges.

 

Do you know of a complete list of released Canal 3 tapes for the Supercharger?

[TomBrazil]

Ianoid, long time, buddy! The cardboard boxes are indeed cartridges'. Never saw cassetes boxes, but Marco Kerstens is the expert on this subject, as you may well know Are you into this stuff now?

[Rom Hunter]

Ian,

 

This is confirmed to exist:

http://www.atarimani...el_218_2_G.html

 

It's been a long time since another title was added, so I don't expect this list to be much longer.

 

The Canal 3 lists in the ads are not too trustworthy, to say the least.

The cassette tapes for the Supercharger by Canal 3 don't have boxes, were sold as regular new tapes (TDK, Basf, Sony, Maxell, etc) .

I have three tapes, I bought them sealed (with plastic and gold 'ribbon' sealing).

I opened with care and 'saved' the items (see pictures below).

On page 11 I put several games and images to Supercharger by Canal 3, on page 1 there are images with approximately 100 tapes.

[thechallengeofnexar]

wow! I have dreams about finding games like this in a charity shop or "thrift store" if i'm in the U.S - whilst i'm dreaming I may as well make it a holiday. Amazing pics! :thumbsup:

 

I can add this Atari Mania multi-cart "16 super jogos" also from Brazil and on your list - the games have MANIA and J&B (Jamar&Beth) written into the games code which i will upload photos of. e.g. on Beamrider Mania - J & B scrolls across the bottom.

 

 

16 Super Jogos - Beamrider / Frontline / Jungle Hunt / HERO / Moon Patrol / Moonsweeper / Ms. Pac Man / Phoenix / Smurfs / Subterranea / Vanguard / Zaxxon / Pole Position / Kangaroo / Pressure Cooker / Kung Fu Master

 

not sure if my attachment worked? i'm new here, still getting to grips

>>> Below I put the manual (instructions) of the game "Megamania" by Polyvox.

Dear thechallengeofnexar,

 

In your cartridge the image "J & B" appears on the game Beamrider screen TV?

The text that appears on the label is "Jomar & Beth," is typically the name of who created the image of the label (in this case a man and a woman).

In my two cartridges "16 Super Jogos - Série Ouro" and the other (which has the game Beamrider), appears "BRASIL-RJ >>>>> Mania" (RJ = Rio de Janeiro).

Please post pictures, I never saw this screenshot.

I put belown the normal screenshots.

[LidLikesIntellivision]

Sr. Ferraz,

 

Do you own any other carts of this manufacturer:

 

 

Five years late I found this one:

 

And it's added in Atarimania.

Just my humble contribution to Atarimania and to Sr. Ferraz' thread .

[Sr. Ferraz]

Dear friend Liduario,

 

Thanks for your contribution !

I have not commented about this cartridge manufacturer, the name is "ADVENTURE International Games", the image seems similar to another manufacturer.

I put down an ADS of a store/shop selling (sold carts) Atari 2600 cartridges with name "Fotomania" (May, 1991). The information is about cartridges for Mega Drive, Master System, Phantom System (NES 8 bits) and NES 8-bits.

[Rom Hunter]

Thanks, Sr. Ferraz.

 

I'll add these asap.

 

[Rom Hunter]

Added.

 

[Sr. Ferraz]

There is, on the Web, some similar information about a company which was the first in Brazil to manufacture a compatible console to Atari 2600, and with the same hardware, the first "version" of Atari 2600 (first videogame/ console and cartridges). It was the year 1981.

The company "Bit Eletrônica" manufactured the console under the name "Top Game" and cartridges to be used in the console. The problem was that, the company, probably being afraid of legal issues and lawsuits (patent), changed the cartridge connector type (case) - it produced a cartridge connection different from the used with Atari 2600 and similar compatibles.

They were not successful because it avoided to use the cartridges with usual pattern for Atari 2600 (the joint did not allow the usage of an usual cartridge).

Another problem was that the cartridges manufactured by Bit Eletrônica were not able to be used in consoles with Atari 2600 joint pattern.

Afterwards, Bit Eletrônica launched an adapter to allow the usage of Atari 2600 standard cartridges in its console (I don't know whether it fitted or they manufactured another adapter to be used with its cartridges in consoles with Atari 2600 pattern connector, which was another problem). But it was too late - maybe, because of that delay, other consoles and cartridges compatible to Atari 2600 pattern had already been launched (~1983).

The console and cartridges manufactured by Bit Eletrônica are very rare, there are no pictures of them on the Web(so far...). As well as there is not any information or comment on the cartridges made by the same company.

My friend Marcos Felipe has got 4 cartridges manufactured by Bit Eletrônica (one of them without label), they really have got a plastic case which is very different from the Atari 2600 usual pattern (the circuit board connector is similar), they haven't got the two plastic pins which usually are next to the circuit board in the joint (fit).

One of those has got a brown plastic case and the others have got it in black, the labels are varied and perhaps from different series (years). The brown-cased one has got 2 labels, one of those was probably the pattern and the other (like a 'stamped' tag) showed the name of the game (modified when translated to Portuguese). The other cartridges have got just one label, which shows the name of the game (observe that it is written "Video Jogo TOP GAME" on two of them).

The labels are simple. I don't know the original name of the game in cartridges...

Another unveiled "mystery"...

I'm completely stumped.

 

This is totally new for me.

 

Bit Electronica?

 

Sounds like Bit Corporation to me.

 

Well, this makes Air Raid look like a dusty Combat cart.

 

Many thanks for sharing, Sr. Ferraz!

 

Definately deserves a special place in our database.

 

 

Interesting: found a Duelo cart in out Top Game (similar company name) section:

http://www.atarimani...0-1520_2_G.html

 

It's the same game as Outlaw.

 

Batalha could be Air-Sea Battle.

 

And Galinha means chicken, right?

 

Perhaps Freeway from Activision?

 

Edited July 29, 2012 by Rom Hunter

[Sr. Ferraz]

Dear Rom,

 

I thought exactly these names for games (Outlaw, Air-Sea Battle and Freeway). In the cartridge without label has a small sticker with the letter "B" on chip... (I opened the cartridge without label).

Below, I put pictures comparing this cartridge with a 'normal' cartridge of CCE (cartridge connector).

Also I put images of the cartridge open and the circuit board (see detail "BIT" engraved/recorded).

My friend Marcus Garrett released ​​this year another book about video games (1984: A Febre dos Videogames Continua >>> "1984: Videogames Fever Goes On"). Excellent book, see the picture below.
