Bobmark International

From Sega Retro

A company in Poland operating in 1992-1998 .

Beginning

After reforms in Poland in 1989, people set up various businesses. Marek Jutkiewicz started importing cheap clothing from Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong. During one of his stays in Taiwan and looking for a cheap supply of trousers, Jutkiewicz encountered a counterfeit Famicom. He spent a week with the console and saw the potential in his imagination. The sooner he returned to the country.

An investor was needed to create an import company. The savior turned out to be Dariusz Wojdyga, a college friend. It was Wojdyga who came up with the name Pegasus. It was started ordering from the Taiwanese console and selling it in the country. To avoid paying more taxes, one of the co-founders of Bobmark was Dane. In 1992, the sale of Pegasus Mt-777dx began. The console quickly became a hit

Golden years

Consoles of the newly founded company began to sell quickly. In addition, the company ran a car workshop where it sold and repaired parts of American cars. In 1993, the company released the Game Boy clone named Pegasus Game Boy. Hoop was also created to deal with the sale of drinks. However, in addition to drinks, in 1993 it released a new console called the Super Pegasus Mt888dx.

Sega

In 1994, the company saw a change in the law that showed the issuance of illegal consoles and games,The company acquired licenses to sell games on Pegasus from companies such as Sachen that illegally created the same games on Nes. The greatest cooperation was BIC or Bobmark and Codemaster. The company ceased to sell cartridges without a license though at trade fairs and electronics stores you could still buy them. As of May 1995, you could purchase 40 cartridges with a license. In 1995, the company also signed cooperation with other foreign companies to sell their PC games and other platforms. Another problem for Pegasus was the competition of other systems which were much cheaper. You could buy them in stores or at the fair. They were Terminator 2, Famiclone Action Set, Hunter, Thompsonic 3500/3600 and many more.Company ddecided to get along with Sega. The Ages company was created, which at the beginning was released in 1994 by the Pegasus IQ-502 console. In 1995, sales of Sega consoles began. However, Ages was not able to cope with the distribution, which is why Bobmark took care of everything. Seeing the small interest in the Sega Bobmark consoles, probably with the consent of Sega released Power Pegasus, however, and she was not successful.

End

On March 1, 1996, Sega Saturn was released. The console, despite the large advertisement, was not that popular as Playstation. In 1998, the company was closed and the founders today run the Hoop company known for their refreshing drinks.
