Notable games
Distinctive Software Inc. (DSI) was a Canadian video game developer established in Burnaby, British Columbia, by Don Mattrick and Jeff Sember after their success with the game Evolution. Mattrick (age 17) and Jeff Sember approached Sydney Development Corporation, who agreed to publish Evolution in 1982. Distinctive Software was the predecessor to EA Canada. Distinctive Software was best known in the late 1980s for their ports, racing and sports games, including the Test Drive series and Stunts. DSI also made sports games like 4D Boxing, and the second title in the Hardball series, Hardball II. In 1991, DSI was acquired by Electronic Arts in a deal worth US$10 million and became EA Canada.
