The premiere of Sega Mega Drive in Malaysia took place in January 1990.[1] Unfortunately, there were many people who had a problem with the identification of who distributes original products.

New Era from 2005-2019 was a distributor.[6].From 2016 to 2019 games were also sold by Play Interactive.
From 2019, Epicsoft Asia became the distributor and released Genesis Mini and Yakuza 6.[7]
