About Niorone of us since 5:29 PM on 12.15.2014
Writer for Fun, Shmup Lover, and 16-bit Dreamer.
Brazilian man born and raised. Currently working on a series dedicated to the documentation of the local gaming culture and landscape that I call “Brazil Of Games.” I took the name from an old TV series on the subject that aired a long time ago here, but no trace of it exists on the Internet.
The Brazil Of Games:
[*] The original blog about Nintendo's departure from my country that planted the seed for everything that's to come, all the way back in 2017.
[*] The first real installment, where I explore the origins of the world's first digital-only console, the Zeebo. And why it failed. [Slightly outdated. New version below]
[*] Meet the Locadora, the parlors where we got our first contact with gaming!
[*] A follow-up of sorts to the previous blog, where I explore Brazil's most revered game: Top Gear!
[*] The SEGA Genesis might have been born in Japan, but it was Brazil that made it its home! Here's how it happened.
[*] It's no secret we love soccer games. So here's a brief history of the Mod that forever changed how we played them!
[*] Folklore is not something many games explore. Here's a game based on a local folk tale from my hometown.
[*] Everyone knows that gaming really started in the days of the arcade parlors. Brazil's history with them was a very curious one, thanks to legendary company Taito and their many, many bootlegs!
[*] Every story has a beginning. Here's to the game that created our whole gaming industry, Amazônia! May we always remember where it all started.
[*] Happy 20th anniversary PlayStation 2! Here's to the console that changed everything!
[*] A mini review of the cute little indie platformer Out There Somewhere.
[*] What do you get when you mix history, culture, and Metroid? You get the little hidden gem that is Dandara!
[*] In December 2000, one RTS almost put Brazil in the Triple-A gaming market. This is the unfortunate story of Outlive.
[*] Brazil's Independent Games Festival is a celebration and showcase of gaming in Latin America. Here's the best Brazil has to offer in 2021!
[*] 12 years later, we revisit the Zeebo console. This is an “expanded remaster” of my original blog on the subject, back in 2019.
