Ozisoft
In 1987, Ozisoft began to represent Sega in Australia and New Zealand. Sales of consoles and games began. The most successful for the company was the release of Sega Mega Drive which achieved great success in both countries. In 1991, the company was sold to First Pacific Hong Kong, and in 1992, the company was bought by Sega, becoming Sega OziSoft.

In 2002 company was bought by Infogrames.
