They were associated with the publication of a number of ZX Spectrum games,[5] some of which were marketed specifically for their translations to Spanish.[6] The company was further noted for translations of British-made games into Spanish, with the quality of the translations justifying their higher prices as compared to the rest of their software lineup.[7]
In 1988, they entered into an agreement to cooperate with Dinamic Software in distributing games, both in Spain and internationally.[9]
They were acquired by Electronic Arts on 14 November 1994, in order to allow direct distribution of Electronic Arts' software to the Spanish region.[10] One of its founding directors, Miguel Angel Gomez, later became the managing director of EMI Spain;[11] another, Jesús Alonso Gallo, went on to sell another business, Restaurantes.com, to the Michelin Group.[12]
In September 1995 they distributed the first E-books designed for children, as produced by Broderbund.[13] Their last published game was the Spanish version of Discworld in 1995.[14]
