Title: Videomation (Super Grafix) (BIC/VIC)

I bought this cart, among others, when I was living in Brazil.  BIC seems the obvious link, and I did see many other BIC carts while I was down there...  I vaguely remember Portuguese localizations of Battletoads and Kid Dracula, but I may be mistaken...  Not certain the correlation between VIC and BIC...

Couldn't find an appropriate place to put this thing...  Dumped it with a CopyNES probably 10 years ago (or more).  Should be good. ;)

oh cool, thanks for sharing!

BIC was "Brasil International Taiwan Corp", the predecessor to Realtec. They released Videomation in Famicom format themselves, plus a bunch of Codemasters games and the Game Genie (under Realtec).

VIC as far as I can tell was a Brazilian video company that released games in NES format, including BIC stuff like this Videomation and some Codemasters games, plus a bunch of regular pirate stuff as well http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.Results&Company_ID=569&CompanyType=P (http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.Results&Company_ID=569&CompanyType=P) .. guessing the only connection between VIC and BIC was that the former sourced games from the latter, but I could be wrong
