Release 488:

Better enjoy that piece of art (!), as I paid heaps for it. :)
Take care.

I've never heard of that cart before.
It's nice to see that price, because it might be pre-94, because in July-94, Brazil changed its currency, adopting the actual R$(Real), instead of Cruzeiro Real(Cr$).

Anyway, nice find and I hope you didn't go bankrupt for that :-p

This was made for Christmas '92. I remember seeing it in one of those deceased Mesbla stores.

The curious thing for me is that my father had bought my SMS3 Compact for me a couple of months earlier for approximately Cr$ 1.200.000,00. Which means we had more than 40% inflation in less than two months!

@sega_club "Em 30/11/92 a Tectoy enviou aos grandes lojistas um cartucho único de Master System, desenvolvido por ela mesma sob a supervisão de Vivian Rosso, se vc abrir um cartucho deste, irá ver o nome Vivi escrito à mão em uma etiqueta colada na eprom do cartucho, o mesmo nem label tinha, contava com apenas 2 telas e trilha sonora de Sonic 2, falando de uma Super Promoção e o lançamento do novo jogo da franquia. #tectoy #mastersystem #1992 #sonic #8bit #merchandise"

Translate to ~ "On 30/11/92, Tectoy sent large shopkeepers a unique cartridge of Master System, developed by itself under the supervision of Vivian Rosso, if you open a cartridge from this, you will see the name Vivi handwritten on a label glued to the eprom of the cartridge, the same as the label had, counted only 2 screens and Sonic 2 soundtrack, talking about a Super Promotion and the release of the new game from the franchise."

The side of inlay says "Cartucho Ponto De Venda" so I guess that would makes it a more official name.

At the risk of sounding pretentious, allow me to offer a non-machine translation in case you want to add it to the cart DB page. This is not a straight up 1:1 translation but I hope it conveys the content more accurately. That said, feedback from other portuguese speakers is welcome.

On November 30th, 1992 Tectoy sent to retail chain stores a unique cartridge developed by Tectoy themselves, under the supervision of Vivian Rosso. Inside these cartridges you can find "Vivi's" name handwritten on a sticker attached to the EPROM chip. The cartridge itself did not carry a red/blue label.

The game program only had two screens that played the Sonic 2 soundtrack and advertised a limited special promotion on the Master System III Compact, as well as the release of a new installment of the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise.

Your translation looks great. Wondering where the release date (November 11th) came from though.

My bad, it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out!
