In March 11, 1990 Lithuania declared independence from the USSR and became an independent state. For foreign companies such as Sega, this meant a new market must be obtained.Since the beginning of the 90s in the Baltic States, Zhiliton 938-A famiclone began to enjoy popularity. It had the same housing as the Sega Mega Drive model I. However, no one suspected that the console was similar to the Sega products due to its lack in this region.UFO,Liko and Subor were also popular.
In 1993 Steepler reached this region.Dendy enjoyed interest, but the console was not as popular as Zhiliton. In 1994, the company decided to release Sega clones, however, they did not gain much interest. The main reason was the small number of places where peoples could buy Steepler products. Later, the company took up the sale of Nintendo products which, as in the rest of the Baltic countries, proved to be not very popular. The first Sega official consoles appeared in 1995. Games and consoles were imported by Vilandra.The company sold its products in more places than Steepler .They were Sega Mega Drive model II, Sega Master System model II , Sega Game Gear , Sega Mega-CD model II , Sega 32X and Sega Saturn.The representative of Sega was Buka.
In 2008 Andrico became a distributor.[1] In 2009, the company made an agreement with Gamelab regarding the sale of games in the region of the Baltic states.[2] The cooperation ended in 2013.In 2014, the Latvian company TKM Baltics became the distributor of Sega games in this region. It performs this function until today. Games can be purchased mainly in the Internet on the Gamebalt website.[3]
