1983: O Ano dos Videogames no Brasil tells the story of how video games, as a new form of entertainment, officially arrived in the country in 1983, but it will also bring information about the before and something about the after. The focus is essentially on devices that preceded the cartridges, such as Casio's game watches, Game & Watch handhelds and PONGs/Telejogos, but mainly - and especially - the first national generation of video games itself, the Odyssey generation, the Atari 2600 and its clones, Intellivision and SpliceVision (ColecoVision).
