Another clarification: The "Worldwide Distributor" thing... was this just fancy marketing for "we're pretty much the only place you can get these", or something to that effect? Obviously they didn't actually have a "worldwide" license, or not in the sense we're used to working with. But this was a while ago and the industry was still relatively-young, so who knows.

Last year as Sega distributor
I just want to point this out... it looks that 1972 was their last year as a Sega worldwide distributor ... these are Sega Enterprise ads from the 70s... those from 1972 are the last ads featuring the name of the company...--Asagoth (talk) 06:40, 3 December 2018 (CST)

Or more appropriately, how is Club Specialty Overseas, Inc. related to Club Overseas Inc., Panama?

"Worldwide Distributor?"
Another clarification: The "Worldwide Distributor" thing... was this just fancy marketing for "we're pretty much the only place you can get these", or something to that effect? Obviously they didn't actually have a "worldwide" license, or not in the sense we're used to working with. But this was a while ago and the industry was still relatively-young, so who knows. Maybe they did? I'll admit I'm pretty dang ignorant about this Cashbox-era stuff. Either way.... how would you nutshell this "worldwide distribution" thing simply? Thanks again for any info :))))
