Note: Between 1992 and 2003, Serbia and Montenegro were unified as a single state known as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY); not to be confused with the earlier Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) which in the 1990s was in the process of breaking up into its pre-communist constituents). From 2003 the state was known as "Serbia and Montenegro" before both halves declared independance from each other in 2006.
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 games.Somewhere in the late 80's and early 90's, Sega Master System began to appear in Yugoslavia, however, it was not very popular[1].The situation began to change after 1992. At the same time, famiclones appeared, such as Terminator 2, which was similar to the Sega Mega Drive and the Pegasus console. Since 1994, DigiTech and Beosoft (who also represented Nintendo in this region) have been the largest distributors.Sega Mega Drive model II , Sega Game Gear , Sega Mega-CD model II and Sega Master System model II arrive to Serbia and Montenegro.Mega Drive was the most popular console.Many gaming clubs were established and places called Segoteka were created, in which the Sega games could be borrowed. In 1996, sales of Sega Saturn started, however, it was not as popular as the previous console. In 2000, Sega Dreamcast was released.
In 2004 Sega started cooperation with Videotop.From 2010 to 2015, Computerland was a distributor of Sega in Serbia and Montenegro. Videotop return in 2016 as a distributor of Sega in all former Yugoslavia [2]
There were also Sega Mega Drive clones. Most of them, however, were simply famiclons that looked like Sega consoles. Rumors say that in 1996 Power Pegasus appeared. There were also pirate games on the market. They were mainly sold by Beosoft.
