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].
Slovenia
After declaring independence in 1991,Sega appeared again in Slovenia in 1993. The main salesman was Mladinska Knjiga.The company was a bookstore, however, it also decided to open a multimedia center.

The Ita Plus company dealt with the sale of Sega Dreamcast in the years 2000-2003.In 2004 Sega started cooperation with Videotop.
