Saudações from Brazil

Hello there!
Thank you for the add. My name is Marco and I´m from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
I´m a 47 years old classic videogame collector, focused on 2nd-gen videogames. Got my Dick Smith Wizzard from Australia back in 2002 or 2003 because I just fell in love for pictures I saw online showing the keyboard on the joysticks and I immediately decided to get one for my collection.
Getting a console like that from Australia to Brazil was hard, man. You have no idea. I managed to get a boxed console but with a beat-up (and I mean REALLY beat-up) box, a tape recorder and two loose carts. When it got here I tried to turn it on but I couldn´t - 220V, PAL and an alien (to me) power plug. So I just gave up for a while.
And I finally managed to bring it to life last year - I finally got a PAL TV so I just had to find a 110V-220V transformer and a plug adapter. And the little fellow turned on like a champion!
I currently only own one game, Sonic Invaders. I must say that I got really impressed with what I saw.
I´m trying to grew my collection now. Already got a lot for other systems, now is time to pour some love on the Mighty CreatiVision.
Thank you again!
