Okay, thanks. I was wondering if i had actually missed Mega-CD when it was sold here. Besides these two, every sega console was released in kebabland. Even Dreamcast was in the shelves for a couple of months.

Are we sure about the Sega-CD and 32X? I've been watching the market for quite some time but I've never seen either of the consoles being sold in Turkey.--Peace MkII

It was my guess. This resulted from the observation of other markets at a similar time. So when I saw that on other markets near Turkey, these consoles were issued in a small amount, I thought it was the same in this country.

It may be possible that these consoles were released in a very small numbers, but to confirm it, it would be best to check in a magazine. I only have Gameshow scans, but there is not much.
