Play Game was a game show produced by SBT, which aired inside the Programa Silvio Santos TV show. It starred the former TV host Augusto Liberato, better known as Gugu.
History
During the show, two teams with two kids, each from selected schools, could challenge against themselves with a selection of dedicated tasks related to Sega Mega Drive games, such as getting scores in certain games or collecting objects in certain ways (e.g.: Rings in Sonic 2). Sometimes, trivia challenges unrelated to games could be featured instead, as a form of "educational value". At the end, the kids from the winner team could challenge themselves by going "inside" random games in time trial mode, such as Alex Kidd in Miracle World. The final prizes could be either the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear or a Sega Master System II, depending on how each of the kids did well in the final challenge.
Legacy
The show used the music The Grubby Dark Blue from Thunder Force III as its opening and ending themes.
After the game show was discontinued, Gugu gave away Sega systems (and years later, the Famiclone Dynavision from Dynacom, makers of the Megavision) for competitors in his former TV show Domingo Legal as prizes for completing challenges. However, the challengers were actual Brazilian celebrities rather than kids.
The Sega Mega Drive games Show do Milhão and Show do Milhão Volume 2 were based on the Show do Milhão game show from SBT.
The show gained a very light acknowledgment outside of Brazil (mainly with Sonic fans) on YouTube as an Internet Meme, thanks to the Robotnik's costume and his deeper robotic voice.[2]
