Background
In 1992, Pegasus's console became popular in Poland. It was sold by Bobmark International.Pegasus was a Taiwanese Famicon clone.Changes in Polish law in 1994 prevented the company from issuing another unlicensed clone. The company decided to get along with Sega in distributing their products in Poland.

Problems and end of Bobmark
Sega products and especially the main console - Mega Drive weren't popular in Poland. Bobmark has come up with the idea to release the Mega Drive consoles under the famous Pegasus brand.For Christmas 1995 was released Taiwanese Power Pegasus clone. The console was 16-bit and was similar to the Sega Mega Drive I. It was also licensed by Sega. Unfortunately the console wasn't as popular as the company wanted.
On March 1, 1996 Bobmark released the Sega Saturn. Despite its large advertising campaign, the console was not popular. Bobmark in 1996 left the Segi distribution. For 2 years there was no Sega representative in Poland.
