About

Founded by Elliot Grassiano in 1985, Microïds became prominent for developing and publishing adventure games, most notably the Syberia series. Over the years, the company also acted as a European distributor and publisher for various international titles. In 2009, it was acquired by Anuman Interactive, which later fully adopted the Microids brand name.
During the mid-to-late 1990s, the company expanded its catalog by securing European distribution and publishing rights for several high-profile international releases. This portfolio included the French localization and distribution of the real-time strategy game Z (1995) and the acclaimed horror adventure D (1996), including its alternative D (1996) releases and the D Long Box] (1996) edition. They also handled the regional release of the 3D action game [One (1997) and its subsequent One (1998) ports.
Alongside these external partnerships, the company continued to publish its own diverse software lineup. Notable releases from this era include the techno-thriller adventure Last Report (1998) and the arcade-style driving game Halloween Racer (1999). These titles helped solidify the publisher's presence in the PC and console markets during a transitional period for 3D gaming, establishing a distribution network that bridged Japanese, American, and European development studios before the turn of the millennium.
