Brazil

The Sega Mega Drive debuted in Brazil in the winter of 1990. Like the Sega Master System, distribution was handled by Tectoy, who not only sold Sega's products, but also made their own revisions of the console. Brazil's love of cartridge-based Mega Drives lasted well into the 21st century, with the last console landing in 2006.
