If not mistaken those western console last time if you want go buy ou need to get from Toys R Us. Gameboy was kinda common thing back in the days when I lay my hand on video games. Bootleg of Micro Genius cartridge also a common spot in pasar pagi/malam.
Back then Sega handheld was one of the most expensive to get in Msia. My relatives from the states brought one for my cousin and problem arise

QUOTE(Faidzal @ Jan 3 2016, 12:01 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « hhhmm, seem to recall this as well.
but their prices were really outrageous, almost as expensive as those cheater game shops.
iinm toys r us sold those wywy-distributed sega consoles such as the megadrive2 and sega Saturn.
oh, and around 10 years ago (2006, wow time flies) iinm Nintendo appointed an official distributor for Malaysia/Singapore (maxsoft/m.m soft) and started officially selling Nintendo consoles, and toys r us was one of the official sellers.
they sold Gameboy advance, Nintendo ds (the 1st model) and also eventually the Wii.
and I seem to recall certain Carrefour/Tesco/Jusco also selling NDS/Wii games with the m.msoft official product stickers.
(jusco/Aeon was the one in midvalley, they had a dedicated section for Nintendo games, I keep passing that booth but their prices were too high...) Never know there was official distributor for Nintendo in Msia back then. Yeah brought a Zelda game to hack the Wii from Best Denki KLCC. Too bad parents were not informed about bootleg, if not for sure there will be alot of collector among us now. Still keeping one Atari Console. Not sure which model is taht but it comes with 2 joysitck with sucker at bottom so it wont move around.
