I still have a Atari 2600 clone from Brazil with some very nonofficial looking multicartridges for it. Seems to be late '80s though, long after Atari stopped making them.
- rbanffy 10y agoThere were Atari clones and one, from Polivox, that was licensed. The Polivox one was the black, Darth Vader model.
- ido 10y agoAccording to Wikipedia Atari manufactured the 2600 till 1992!
- paulmd 10y agoOlder consoles often get used in developing countries for quite some time since they're much cheaper (typically at least one console generation longer than the US). IIRC Microsoft only shut down Xbox 360 production very recently, because it was still selling well in South America. The Playstation 2 had a similarly long lifespan, I think production was just shut down a couple years ago.
