Draft:Telstar Electronic Studios
Logo descriptions by PAV123
Background: Telstar Electronic Studios was a video game division of Telstar Records, based in Surrey, UK, launched in 1993. Initially, it was called Telstar Fun and Games, and it re-issued titles in budget form and reduced price game packs, it then soon entered the full publishing business, working with smaller, little-known developers. Unfortunately, many their games sold poorly, leading the company into debts of £10,000,000. In 1999 Telstar signed a deal with Take-Two, which included the total dissolving and absorbing into the latter.
