Founding of Sirius

Sirius was founded in 1980 by Jerry W. Jewell, and gained attention for its dramatically quick rise to prominence and its equally quick collapse in 1984 after 20th Century Fox (Fox Video Games) failed to pay over USD $18 Million in owed royalties.[1]

Sirius' quick rise was due in part to a chain of hits by Nasir Gebelli.[2]
