Ha, that is so random. It seems the budget was quite low for Sega advertising in whatever country that was aimed at.

The comments for the video all look to be in Russian , Perhaps the advertising budget was small for the soviet union , Could western companies even operate in Russia at that time ?
I've seen plenty of clones for various systems from Russia.

the youtube channel is russian as is the onscreen writing, the dog (digital on screen graphic for non broadcast nerds) seems to indicate a channel that I cannot identify.

I know it was Genesis is North America, I was wondering if anywhere else?
And to the point, why would they sell the American version in Russia, instead European?
Something to do with PAL, NTSC and SECAM systems?

segaretro.org/History_of_Sega_in_Russiathey used secam d/k, a system which is being phased out, I think Russia will undertake their DTT switchover in 2019, this is just an estimate at this stage.

RTR, which is now known as Russia-1 I actually would say that spot is just in line with all the crazy advertisement Sega did in the 90's. I mean this isn't any weirder than showing a kid who beats himself in the head with a dead stiff rat to "see colors on the game boy" or the drug-trip style stuff they did later, like this Saturn Promo Video www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjK0P_Qz0SA |
