This article aims to correlate Brazilian games developed and released in the 1990s for the Master System games platform with the concepts of decolonial aesthetics, as presented by the Argentine semiologist Walter Mignolo, and the distribution of the sensible, introduced by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière. The article departs from the theoretical review of the concepts of decolonial aesthetics and the distribution of the sensible and then presents and comments on the games selected for the corpus of the work, elaborating on the possible relationships between them and the concepts described above. Finally, it concludes that these games are representative of a decolonial mark in Brazilian games developed in the 1990s.Downloads
