Brøderbund might not have been among the most productive game publishers in the eighties and nineties, but you could bet any game they did publish was of a high quality. The American company released games like Lode Runner, Choplifter, Karateka, Prince of Persia, Wings of Fury, SimCity, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Myst, and with gems like these they had a big influence on computer and video games as a whole.

I was very happy with The Print Shop. You could print huge signs and banners by stitching smaller pages together. Fun times.

Legacy of the Wizard on NES was always my favorite.

Broderbund was an important staple of the Commodore 64 world.

My dad had a mac so as kids we were very limited in what we could play. Broderbund products were therefore a staple in our house. Kid Pix, Zoombinis, Prince of Persia, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.
