Overview edit · view history

Polyvox is a Brazilian electronics company, founded in 1967 by by Moris Arditti and Mario Pucci, former Gradiente employees. It was the main Gradiente's concurrent until it was bought by them in 1983.

In the same year, Polyvox signed a deal with Atari and released the Atari 2600. The video game crash didn't affect Brazil, and the Atari 2600 was a huge success until the late 80s.

No product has been released under the Polyvox brand since the end of the 80s, even though Gradiente still has the rights over the brand.
