Unlicensed Mega Drive clones (Genesis 3) in South America

Back to: Unlicensed Mega Drive clones (Genesis 3).

Despite its late arrival, the redesigned and further cost-reduced Genesis 3 unit became a popular item in South America... despite not being officially released there. Though some were imported from North America, many more clone consoles were manufactured on the cheap (the Mega 3 for example is extremely common in Argentina). This is a list of Mega Drive 3 clone consoles released in South America, in which not enough is known to justify separate pages.

Genesis 3

A very dodgy Genesis 3 clone which despite its many claims, is not thought to be officially licensed. This one resembles the official product more than any other Genesis 3 clone out there, though its box text is translated into Spanish for markets such as Argentina. Font sizes and build quality are also slightly different on the unit.
