That much I knew.  I really don't know if there are any exclusivly
Brazilian 2600 games, but I'm sure there are some released there that
didn't make it to the U.S.  AtariAge (www.atariage.com) will let you
pull up a list of South American cartridges, but sometimes it's
difficult to tell a localized name from a non-U.S. game.

Yes, there are, but it has to do with the TV, not the console.  I have
a PAL game (not sure which version of PAL).  It plays on my console,
but the extra scanlines cause the image to roll.  And I seem to lack a
TV that still has a vertical hold knob.

OTOH, I understand NTSC 2600 games will play on PAL TVs, but the
colors will be wrong or it will revert to black and white.
