ReadySoft Incorporate was a video game development company founded in 1987, in Toronto, Canada, by David Foster, ex-Digital Solutions, Inc co-founder (founded in 1983 by David Foster and Victor Kass, it produced primarily productivity software for the Commodore 64 and 128, and some for the Amiga near the end of its life, in 1987).
In late 1988, the company acquired the rights to Dragon's Lair from Don Bluth's Sullivan Bluth Studios, initially publishing a conversion for the Amiga which instantly became a hit and was ported to several platforms, including Sega's Mega-CD and Saturn consoles.
In 1996[1] David Foster sold the company to Malofilms Communications Inc (later Behavior Entertainment Inc), one of Canada's leading integrated entertainment companies of the time and in 1997 founded Digital Leisure Inc, which shortly after acquired the rigths to the Dragon's Lair franchise and continues to publish titles on modern platforms today.
