Master System consoles in Eastern Europe

From Sega Retro

The Sega Master System console first appeared in this region in 1988. In the following years, the console was released on another market in this region with the collapse of the communist system and market liberalization. From 1993, Sega began distributing the second Master System model. All consoles were compatible with the PAL system as seen in rest of Europe. The Master System did not achieve much success, but it was much more popular than the NES console. Both consoles were outclass by the famiclones.
