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.Since 1988, a company from London called ActiveMagic began selling Sega computer games.Although Active Magic was a Mastertronic distributor (Who sold Sega consoles in Western Europe), it is not known whether it was distributing Sega consoles.Somewhere between 1989/1990, Sega Master System began to appear in Yugoslavia, however, it was not very popular[1].
Croatia
Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.One of the first and popular consoles was Terminator 2 modeled on Sega Mega Drive.The origins of Sega consoles in this country is 1994. However, there is no distributor's name. At the beginning were available Sega Mega Drive model II, Sega Master System model II, Sega Mega-CD model II ,Sega Game Gear and Sega 32X. In 2004 Slovenian company Videotop began selling Sega games in this country.[2] In 2010, the distribution was started by Computerland and in 2014 Videotop returned for sale which in 2016 became a representative of Sega in all former Yugoslavia.[3]In 2017, Videotop became the property of Computerland Group.[4] In 2018, Videotop was acquired by Colby which also belongs to the Computerland Group which means that the distributor of Sega is now Colby.[5]
