On April 23, 2008, GreenScreen Interactive Software announced the acquisition of the company which will be combined with Destination Software into the new Zoo Games label. In November 2008, only a few months as a subsidiary of GreenScreen Interactive Software, they regained independency through a management buyout.[1] In March 2009 the company announced their new name of Zushi Games.[1] On March 18, 2010 Zushi went into administration and has a receivership action on at least one of its properties.[1]
