In 1997, Gigabytes Computer Store was a little-known software development company called ASF Information Services. From 2000 – 2006, it was absorbed into Gigabytes Computer Store and continued to develop software during that time.
Some of these titles were ported to Windows and eventually began to be converted to run in Linux. Guessage! in particular was the only software to be listed in the Linspire CNR software library.
Below are some of the titles developed during this time. There is an assortment of DOS and Windows titles. Most of these will run on Linux using programs like DOSBox, Wine, and Crossover.
