Bugün öğrendim ki: Brezilyalı bir şirket, Nintendo Eğlence Sistemini tersine çevirdi ve orada hiç piyasaya sürülmediği için resmi arabaları oynayabilecek bir klon üretti.

Durval Antonelli is a game seller in São Paulo © Red Bull For many of us, access to video games is as easy as heading down to the local shop and buying a game. In the 1980s and '90s, gamers in North America, Europe and Japan could simply head down to their local store to pick up a [Nintendo Entertainment System](/int-en/nintendo-classic-mini-nes-must-play- games "Nintendo Entertainment System") or a Sega Mega Drive. In Brazil, that wasn't quite the case though. As our new documentary series Red Bull Parallels explores, getting ahold of official games was never quite as easy or as cost effective. However, through piracy, copycat hardware and engineering ingenuity, Brazil has experienced access to video game culture in a different way over the last few decades. In Red Bull Parallels, we head to the South American country to check out what makes the video game scene tick, and how it all got started, right from the 1970s until today. From arcade copycats with almost identical pinball machines, to quality Nintendo clones like the Phantom System that even got the big N's attention, our three-part series gives a look into how piracy, hacks and emulation have given rise to – and inspired – a whole generation of gamers and video game makers in Brazil. From interviews with Taito Corp's first Brazilian employee, who talks about copying pinball machines, to discussing the significance of Blanka's first appearance in [Street Fighter II](/int-en/how-street-fighter-v-pros-got-into- the-game "Street Fighter II"), a chat with the creators of famed Counter- Strike map, CS_Rio, and the importance of the Mônica series of video games (which simply replaced the characters of the Sega Master System game Wonder Boy with that of Brazilian comic book character, Mônica), there's lots to explore in our three-part series, which you can watch below.
