In the 70s Finland was one of the countries where Sega imported its game machines.
Digital Systems released the SC-3000 in Finland. Sanura Suomi distributed the Sega Master System until around 1990 when PCI-Data took over before the Sega Mega Drive release. However, PCI-Data went bankrupt not long after, leading to Brio taking over Finnish distribution of Sega products from 1991 through its division PlayMix[1][2].
In the 90s there was also Sega Clubi.
In 1996, TCI's technology group got the rights to distribute Sega Channel in the Scandinavian countries. In 1997, ION Finland-the official importer of Sega announced that Sega Channel is available along with 30 games.[3]
From July 1997 ION Finland launched NetLink as the only one in Europe, but it was only a test. The service was in Finnish.[4]
Dreamcast Internet was available from December 2000.
In 2003 in the Scandinavian countries the company Pan Vision became the distributor of Sega.[5] In 2014, the company Koch Media became the sale of games as in most countries of Western Europe.[6]
