aka(s): Keypunch

Software distributor from around 1985-1993. The company usually published budget software packages by mail, but also sold their products in some stores.
The company was notorious for selling software they didn't own, usually by taking existing games that were being distributed as freeware or open source, and modifying them to make them seem like a new game.
They would usually remove all credits and re-title the games so the original developers wouldn't find out.
