Re: NOAC

All we had in Brazil before 1993 were NOACs. Since we had no base of comparison (aside from some rare imported NES's), they were pretty cool. I always got lucky with the compatibilty issues, never owned/rented a game that wouldn't work. In fact, I'm note 100% sure the brazilian clones were actually ...

Re: Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Hey there!!

Hi, everyone. My name is Thom. I'm a 28 years old brazilian gamer. I heard about the site on DP, and decided to chek it out. I've been playing videogames since I was 6, when my parents gave me an Atari 2600 for birthday. I'm a fan of the classic, pre-32bit systems, mostly because those were the syst...
