However, MSI are probably best-known internationally as the partner and distributor of early 1990s Spalax releases. In 1994 MSI momentarily ceased trading and then restarted, and this severed their ties with Spalax who went on to use other distributors.

Director at this time was one Michel Largeau, who continued with the company until their demise in 2006. The last-known MSI products are however 2001, and since MSI Distribution's demise Michel Largeau continued as a sole trader until 2014 selling remaining stocks.
