Tec Toy

Tec Toy at a Glance

Tec Toy is a Brazilian company founded in 1985 that operated until 2015. You will find 202 games listed under their name on PlayPile as a publisher, with them developing only 27 of those titles themselves. The data shows they were most active during the 1990s when they released 127 games. Their output dropped to 60 titles in the 2000s and just one game in the 2010s before they ceased activity. In 2007, the company underwent a rebranding process and became known as Tectoy. Their catalog is heavily tied to Sega hardware. They released 115 games for the Sega Mega Drive or Genesis and 79 titles for the Sega Master System or Mark III. They also have 27 releases for the Wii, 24 for PC, and 22 for Mac. Their genre focus leans heavily toward platformers with 39 titles, followed by shooters at 30 and puzzle games at 27. Sports and arcade games round out their top categories with 26 and 23 releases respectively. Quality varies across their library. The average IGDB rating sits at 68.5 out of 100 based on 70 rated titles. Most reviews fall into the good range with 43 titles scoring between 60 and 79. There are nine great titles that scored above 80, but there are also 16 mixed scores and two poor ones below 40. Some of their highest-rated work includes Golden Axe Warrior from 1991 which holds a score of 99.4, Centurion: Defender of Rome at 90.3, and Phantasy Star from 1987 with an 85.9 rating. Recent releases like Mosaico in December 2015 and several titles from 2008 such as Fantasy Pinball and Snowball show they were active until the mid-2010s. While their bio notes they were Sega's official distributor in South America and helped establish the 8-bit platform as a cultural staple there, the numerical data suggests a catalog that relies on established franchises rather than consistent high scores across all entries. Their output has been small in recent years compared to their peak in the 1990s.
