Later subsidiaries included Commseed, Telenet Jr., and Namco Tales Studio (34% owned by Telenet, 60% by Namco).

The company was best known for their Valis, Cosmic Fantasy, and Tales series of games, as well as their Wolf Team subsidiary, later called Namco Tales Studio, and its games.

Telenet closed its doors on October 25, 2007. SunSoft bought the company's entire game library on December 10, 2009, intending to remake and re-release some of their games.
