Both console (and components) and games were manufactured in Brazil, but strictly the same as their import equivalents. I believe there are none exclusive Brazilian games (maybe compilations, I don't know too well), but most hits for the console were reproduced by a Brazilian company called CCE. The games are the same, yet cartridge labels have CCE's logo on the bottom.
Imports are your best bet (again, don't know for sure if there would be PAL-M - Brazilian standard - incompatibility issues with local carts), and those are quite abundant, and some are at the price range you asked for (I can get loose cartridges for as low as 1.5 dollars). Boxed and complete games also come by once in a while (right now there are auctions for complete Codebreakers - US$ 5.00, Kung Fu Master - 14.00, and Space Invaders - 6.00) but they are much more scarce - Brazilians aren't know for they're conservation skills :) I'm a computer game collector, and don't know much about videogames (which are common and which are scarce), so the best thing to do is for everyone who's interested to send me their list in my personal email, and I'll contact you individually with an offer once it araises (that way we don't flood the list with this). I can tell you the collectible market around here is small, and you can get outrageous low prices for lesser-known titles (i.e., I got the Windows version of Pirates! Gold on CD, boxed and complete, for 4.00 dollars - and I was the sole bidder on the auction! same thing for jewel case Neverhood). Thanks and obrigado for the "welcomes".
