The Microplay name has recently appeared on a number of in-store boutiques at SuperClub locations throughout Quebec.

In 2006, most Rogers Video stores in Quebec were closed or converted to Le SuperClub Vidéotron.

Microplay founder Bill Pearce originally established a shop on Bank Street named Gamer Video in 1981, which rented Atari and Intellivision games; it was one of the first Canadian businesses to rent video game cartridges.

At that time, Pearce and Copeland made weekly trips to the United States to avoid high markups charged by Canadian video game distributors.

[2] Microplay began franchising in June 1993, expanding to 28 stores, and became regarded as Canada's leading video game specialty chain.
