The company was best known for producing its first action-sports title ''Edgar Torronteras' eXtreme Biker'', followed by ''Moto-X 2000'' and its ''Motocross Mania'' series.

Between 2003 and 2004, the company either folded or renamed to Microtime Interactive Ltd. since that company occupied the same location and used Deibus' telephone and fax numbers.

Below them, there is "S T U D I O S", written in a scrawly font and enclosed on a powder blue box, with two arrows facing up and left, enclosing these two words. On the bottom-left corner is "UK" in a scrawly font. Suddenly, a character from the game (which varies every time the game is started up) is seen falling down while getting hit by the billboard.
