As well as establishing their own distributor in the USA in the shape of Mastertronic Inc, the company expanded their reach by reaching a deal with Spanish publisher DroSoft to license a large portion of their library for distribution in Spain. Games were re-released for the Amstrad, MSX and ZX Spectrum as well as 16-bit releases for the Amiga and Atari ST from not only the main Mastertronic label, but also Rack-It, Ricochet and others in addition to titles from other companies released under the DroSoft Seleccion Mastertronic branding. As well as this, games were also re-released by DroSoft from Melbourne House and Virgin Mastertronic.
Because of the limited distribution, these have become sought after by many collectors. This is only a partial list at the moment, but we will expand it as quickly as we can to complete all the formats we have featured here.

Notes
- A large number of titles that were released on the Ricochet label on other formats were also available for the MSX in the UK but not re-released by Mastertronic. These were subsequently released by DroSoft as you can see here, and the art used for these releases appears to have been taken from planned Ricochet releases that were cancelled.
- Motorbike Madness was a Spanish exclusive release and never had a UK release.

Notes
- Some titles released on DroSoft’s Mastertronic range were original published in the UK by other companies but never originally had a Mastertronic release. Jump Jet by Anco was one such title.
This list will be updated regularly with additional titles, author credits and links to reviews of the Mastertronic versions of the games.
