Socialist Yugoslavia, despite the fact that it was a communist state, led a different kind of politics than the rest of the communist countries, and perhaps that is why consoles were the first to appear here. Since 1988, a company from London called ActiveMagic began selling Sega Master System consoles. The company provided consoles and games to local distributors. Unfortunately consoles could only be bought in few places and computers enjoyed greater popularity. Bosnia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1992, but the war quickly began. The terrible war caused that foreign companies such as Sega could not find their representatives. Sega and Nintendo consoles appeared during the war as a donation from other countries. During the war they gained popularity of the Famiclons, including Terminator 2 - modeled on the Sega Mega Drive I and the Pegasus console. The war ended in 1995 with the Dayton Agreement. The country was 80% destroyed and the population could not afford to new consoles. The popularity began to enjoy bootlegs. Bootlegs for the Mega Drive games appeared and some sources also talk about the Power Pegasus console in 1996 . The pirate games on PS1 have become more and more popular. Information about Sega from this period is very small.In 2004 Sega started cooperation with Videotop. In 2010, Computerland represented Sega in this region. Videotop return in 2016 as a distributor in the former Yugoslavia.[1]
