About

Active in the early 2000s, the label focused on publishing budget-priced video games and localization of international titles for the European market. It frequently partnered with Japanese developers, including Tecmo, to distribute their titles in Europe before being consolidated into 505 Games.
The publisher's catalog featured a variety of ports, retro re-releases, and promotional discs. Among its offerings were distributions of classic Japanese titles, including the retro action game Argos no Senshi and the sports simulation Captain Tsubasa. The company also handled niche genre releases, such as the equestrian simulation Gallop Racer and its sequel Gallop Racer 2000, alongside the sports title Dodgeball and the puzzle game Solomon.
In addition to full game releases, the publisher distributed promotional demo discs to build anticipation for major properties. These included a playable demo for the trap-based action game Kagero Deception II and a special demo CD for the life simulation title Monster Rancher 2. Through these diverse releases, the brand established a footprint in the console market, paving the way for the broader global operations of its successor entity.
