Company Images Related Pages
Originally a radio and mobile phone manufacturer founded in 1952. Datatronic acquired the company for one Swedish krona in 1980 and used the brand as the official distributor of Commodore computers in Scandinavia. Aside from computers, they started importing international software titles, and in 1983 they published the first commercial game developed in Sweden, Space Action (Game), with several other Swedish games following shortly thereafter. They primarily published cartridge based games for the Commodore 64 (Platform), and their boxes became rather recognizable as they had art work in landscape orientation instead of portrait, as was more common, and they let the artwork cover the entire front of the box, with the publisher's name and the game's title in the corners. In 1986 the company shut it's doors, after Commodore (Company) had opened their own office in Sweden.
