i love how this ad was very clearly made in the software itself and how (if you can read portuguese and notice the breaks in the grammar) it's completely glitched up with skipped and repeated lines

MSX Page Maker ad, a thing of beauty
🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/mediarchaeology/status/1532841508415713282
the quip at the bottom "100% national software, protect yourself from the pirates" is just *chef's kiss*
i also love how "Nemesis" was apparently "brazil's biggest softhouse" and yet all that history is basically lost/unsung compared to english-speaking countries
it's also funny to me how they developed for the MSX2, a platform that was never officially available in brazil
the MSX was very popular in brazil thanks to Sharp/Epcom and Gradiente manufacturing their own computers in brazil during the import ban in the 1980s, however they were only MSX1
MSX2 was only ever available in unofficial upgrade kit form or via contraband
another Nemesis Informática ad from CPU magazine dated 1990, showcasing their products and games for sale that year http://datassette.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/revistas/cpu_msx_14.pdf
datassette is a good treasure trove for brazilian magazines of that era, especially about the MSX computer: https://datassette.org/revistas/msx
the "much more than a toy, almost a computer" tagline in this ad for the master system is especially funny to me because the master system shared a lot of hardware similarities with the msx
