First , there were the Atari clones called Rambo , then the most succesful were NES clones called Terminator . They still sell Terminator games nowadays with high prices , the famous yellow cartridges . People who didn't have money went for portable Tetris consoles and played coin-operated arcade games . When the 16 Bit consoles hit the market , they were first spotted in Unirea Shopping Center . SNES was much more expensive than Sega Mega Drive , was this a global thing ? Sellers from Unirea had the Playstation before Sony Stores . I remember seeing a Playstation in Sony catalogue , but it was a slim . Best Distribution was also selling Playstation , Gamecube and GBA consoles and games . I don't remember them selling Xbox Classic , which was poorly promoted . Arcade games clubs were slowly replaced by Internet-Cafes . People who were not into PC gaming went for Playstation 2 . A very big hand to the console market was given by Altex , who sold not only consoles but also a large variety of games .
