Brøderbund Software

Brøderbund began in the early 1980s in Eugene, Oregon. Galactic Empires, Prince of Persia and Lode Runner had an immediate impact on the gaming industry. Successes grew and continued for years, Myst ranked as the highest grossing home computer game. The company was dissolved shortly after acquisition by The Learning Company (formerly SoftKey) though its name persists as one of the company's several brands.
