Bootlegs, Dictators, & Shoot Em' Ups! Gaming in Brazil | Podcast with ShmupsBR. Today on the Electric Underground Podcast/Videocast I speak with @ShmupsBR about his experience playing retro games in Brazil growing up and all the wild stories about playing bootlegs and getting around the rules of a military dictatorship (hardcore!). We discuss a ton of topics in this episode including his top 5 favorite shmups, the modding scene in south america, clone consoles, arcade bootlegs, fights in the arcade, Nintendo, Sega, Master system, NES, NEOGEO, SNES, N64, PS2, import taxes, the ups and downs of youtubing, and so much more!
