Sega's relationship with Argentina is not yet fully understood. It is known that Gameland distributed the Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear (and games) in this country in association with Brazil's distributor, Tec Toy. Stock intended for Argentina can be identified by Spanish text as opposed to Portuguese, the language of Brazil.
Video game piracy was prevalent in Argentina for a period, and unlicensed consoles were often more popular than official alternatives. Imported stock from North America was also common.
The unlicensed Sega Mega Drive games TC 2000 and Truco '96 are known to come from the country. Cablevisión TCI supposedly carried an Argentine version of the Sega Channel.
