While the idea that the 1977-1992 reserved market policy for computers had an impact on the videogame market in Brazil is a popular one, that was not the case. The policy was not about imports as all imports (cars, chocolate, etc) were restricted at the time due to the external debt crises. The policy prohibited joint ventures with foreign companies or local manufacturing and sales by foreign companies (like what happened in cars and other industries).
Polyvox/Gradiente had an official joint venture with Atari while Philips made and sold its consoles locally. None of this would have been possible if the reserved market had included videogames. Note that it was common for the policy to extend its reach to areas where it shouldn't apply, but that didn't happen in this case.
