The Eastern European [[Mega Drive 32X]]] debuted in December 1994 and through 1995, it was introduced in all markets. The systems are identical to PAL ones seen in Western Europe, with only differences being manuals in native language, warranty cards, catalogues, posters and distributor seals on box or under console. The Bulgarian, Serbian, Montenegro and the CIS countries markets got the European and Asian models, due to the fact that [[Mega Drive]] was distributed in these two standards there.  
  
The console wasnt popular in the region due to low availability, especially when compared to the [[Sega Mega CD]].
