GTIS was formed in February of 1993 by GoodTimes Home Video and established as an independent company in January of 1995. Ron W. Chaimowitz is the chief executive officer, president and co-founder.

GTIS has by far the strongest distribution capability of any "software provider." GTIS's broad distribution system guarantees its titles prime shelf space in retail software outlets and mass merchants worldwide.

GTIS's product releases span a range of categories including entertainment, education, action-packed arcade-style games, screen savers, and reference tools. The company introduced its first title, Wolfenstein 3-D, in November, 1993. To date, GTIS's most successful title is the record-breaking combat action game, DOOM II: Hell on Earth recently being distributed worldwide with more than one million units shipped.

Mass Merchant Program - GTIS's distribution program services many mass merchants such as Wal-Mart on a direct basis, and sells direct to virtually every major software retailer. This broad-based distribution goes beyond these outlets to music stores, toy stores, warehouse clubs, electronics chains and deep discount drug stores.

Using GoodTimes' manufacturing and duplicating expertise, and its state of the art "quick response" replenishment system, GTIS offers mass merchants a planogramed program that includes high quality product, rapid replenishment, full service Management and profit margins to meet their objectives.

GTIS also works with these chains and the publishers to develop and implement promotions supported by advertising, publicity and special product displays.

GTIS has been successful in creating a distribution program that currently services software in Wal-Mart, Caldor and Phar-Mor stores on a direct basis. Testing of this program is also going on in other mass merchants that have a likelihood of chain-wide expansion.

Today, the GTIS Mass Merchant Program includes a wide range of front-line titles from key publishers including Microsoft, Intuit, Broderbund, Davidson, Maxis, Lucas Arts, Sierra On-Line and Interplay.

Publishing Arm - The publishing arm of GTIS has formed strategic relationships with several key development groups and rights holders around the world, to publish and distribute high-quality interactive multimedia titles.

GTIS has secured major deals with a number of first-rate companies, including id Software (Wolfenstein, DOOM, DOOM II, Heretic, DOOM II Screen Saver, The Ultimate DOOM); Williams Entertainment, the Home Entertainment Division of WMS Industries (giving GTIS software rights to Mortal Kombat III as well as original titles like SuperKarts and Fun & Games Deluxe); Mercer Mayer's Big Tuna New Media (the first from this multi-title deal is Just Me and My Dad); Zombie Virtual Reality Entertainment (whose first title, Ice & Fire, was authored by the team famous for Tetris); and White Wolf (to publish its enthralling story-telling sensation, Vampire: The Masquerade, on CD-ROM).

GTIS has also leveraged some higher visibility products under contract by GoodTimes Home Video by publishing a Fabio Screen Saver and an interactive CD-ROM version of Richard Simmons' Deal-A-Meal.

GTIS's distribution techniques have been especially successful for software gaming phenomenons DOOM and DOOM II, developed by id Software. DOOM II is currently the best-selling computer combat action game on the market, and is a sequel to the top-selling computer game and shareware sensation DOOM.

Budget Business - GTIS has a separate arm of the business that handles promotional budget product.
