It had the same housing as the Sega Mega Drive model I. However, no one suspected that the console was similar to the Sega products due to its lack in this region.UFO,Liko, Dendy and Subor were also popular.There is no information about Sega in 90s.It is known, however, that such consoles like Sega Mega Drive model II, Sega Master System model II ,Sega Mega CD model II , Sega Game Gear and Sega Saturn have arrived here.Somewhere in the beginning of the 21st century, the Jesting Projekt company became the distributor in Estonia.
