Socialist Yugoslavia
Socialist Yugoslavia did not belong to the Warsaw Pact. A small amount of Sega, Nintendo and Atari games and consoles were sold here. In the 70s Yugoslavia was one of the countries where Sega imported its game machines. The only known company that sold Sega Master System was Comy, which began importing the console from 1990.[1] In 1992 IVC became a distributor and still sold Master System in Bosnia.[2]
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1992, but the war quickly began. Sega and Nintendo consoles appeared during the war as a donation from other countries. During the war they gained popularity of the Famiclones, including Terminator 2 - modeled on the Sega Mega Drive and the Pegasus console.
Official Sega products appeared in Bosnia thanks to the Croatian company Europatrade[3], which had been importing these consoles to this region since 1994. Thanks to this company, Mega Drive II, Master System II and Game Gear were released here. In 1995, the Mega CD II and Mega Drive 32X were released. The sale and the number of places where it was possible to buy the console was of course limited due to the hostilities.
The war ended in 1995 with the Dayton Agreement. The country was 80% destroyed and the population could not afford to new console. This resulted in an increase in the number of bootlegs, including Sega consoles and games. Rumors say that Power Pegasus appeared in 1996.
New consoles such as Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn appeared in Bosnia and despite the fact that they were more available than their predecessors - Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo - they were still too expensive. At the end of the 90s, the PlayStation was released, which thanks to the possibility of easy piracy became quite popular.
In 2004 Sega started cooperation with Videotop. In 2010, Computerland represented Sega in this region. Videotop return in 2016 as a distributor in the former Yugoslavia.[4]In 2017, Videotop became the property of Computerland Group.[5] In 2018, Videotop was acquired by Colby which also belongs to the Computerland Group.The distribution was taken over by Iris Mega.
