Prior to this, Vavasour had helped to found the Vancouver studio for Digital Eclipse Software in 1997; Digital Eclipse's focus was on emulation of old arcade games for modern hardware. Digital Eclipse Software merged with ImaginEngine in 2003 to become Backbone Entertainment, which later merged with several other small developers to form Foundation 9 Entertainment in 2005, which Vavasour served on as executive vice president for Canadian Operations. In 2006, Vavasour left Foundation 9 to become a consultant in the industry, but later sought for form Code Mystics, inviting former employees from Digital Eclipse to join him to continue to develop modern emulations of classic software title.
Code Mystic's first released title was Atari's Greatest Hits Volume I for the Nintendo DS, released in 2010.
