Genesis Around the World: Córdoba Argentina

[Melf]

When traveling abroad, it's always fun to search for treasure of the 16-bit kind... that special game that you would never find in your local area, something exotic and wonderfully foreign - the kind of thing that makes game hunting worth all the effort. Sega-16 is dedicated to showing its readers the best places worldwide for buying Genesis goodies, and while it might not require a whip and Fedora, the hunt can be just as much an adventure. The latest installment of Genesis Around the World features one of our readers exploring the hack and pirate coves of Córdoba, Argentina, and he's got all the details on what you'll find. Read the article and check your passport!

I am going to be going back to Panama in a couple weeks, I have never seen any video game shops there, but I wasn't really looking for them either. I will look around for some crazy bootlegs while im there. I doubt they have the scene that they have in Argentina though.

Very nice article, a completely original subject that I haven't seen covered anywhere before. Kudos on the piece. It must be a blast to go shopping in those stores, the whole look of them is awesome.

Wish we had something like that in the states.

Nothing new about that for me, since I live in Brazil and, here too, it is not hard to find these dealers for hacked / pirated cartridges. My personal collection is almost entirely of originals, but I wouldn't give up my pirated copy of Alien Soldier since I have no intention at all to pay what an original one normally costs.

Paradise... There should be more articles like this one!

Bootlegs = hell for me.

Really interesting read. If I ever happen to find myself in Argentina, which I doubt, I'll be sure to be on the lookout.

Very nice read

ITs funny how sega was never strong here in Mexico. Nintendo always had 95% or more of the 8 and 16 bit market...

Very nice read, although I think we've all ready discussed this to death in a previous topic

Enjoyed reading the article, there

Still makes me wonder who takes the time to program these games, and who makes any money from selling them. And why they're still so popular in places like Brazil and Argentina...
