15 BEST SELLING SOFTWARE TITLES!

In the 1980s and 1990s, Brøderbund Software, Inc. became one of the leading producers and distributors of home computer video games and electronic software. In 1986, it was the 9th-largest United States computer software company, and by 1997, the company had annual revenues of $190 million. Brøderbund began as a truly family affair. Brothers Doug and Gary Carlston founded the company in 1980, in order to market Doug’s strategy game, Galactic Empire. Their sister, Cathy Carlston, joined the venture a year later. The company’s name comes from the Afrikaans word "Broederbond," loosely translated as "association of brothers." In order to distance themselves from a South African white supremacist group that shared the same name, the Carlstons altered the spelling and added the Scandinavian letter Ø, which also represents the slashed zero found in computer codes. Brøderbund’s popularity stemmed from its wide range of products, as well as the fact that it released games for nearly every home computer system in America. The company also licensed certain series overseas, allowing its games to appear on systems such as the British ZX Spectrum and Japanese MSX. The company is best known for popular games such as Prince of Persia, Karateka, Myst, Lode Runner, and the educational Carmen Sandiego franchise. It also produced Raid on Bungeling Bay, the first video game created by SimCity-designer Will Wright. Additionally, Brøderbund produced computer software programs such as the Print Shop, Kid Pix, and Family Tree Maker, as well as an interactive reading series known as Living Books. This artifact represents part of a donation from co-founder Doug Carlston, which includes approximately 1,500 electronic games and software products developed, published, and licensed by Brøderbund, as well as archival materials such as company newsletters, competitive market research, financial statements, photographs, promotional materials, and awards.

A story about Shelley Duval, her husband and their birds is divided into 4 chapters, each about 20 pages long. You get one graphic per page and then click on the bird's right wing to continue to the next page. The story moves VERY SLOWLY and I couldn't go through the entire thing. I asked Kristina if she had ever made it to the end and she had not. The neat thing about the story is the "hyperlinks." Kids can click on these links after the story page is read and get short descriptions of the highlighted phrases. Just like us big "kids!" * Characters - Learn about 10 different birds. A short description is given by the bird so you'll learn all about the different personalities birds can have. They are cleverly written and full of humor. * Games -- Have fun playing 5 different games: -Shell game. Kristina's favorite. The old peanut under the shell game is now online! But try to follow which shell the nut is hiding under here! You have complete control over flips and speed and at the fastest, you can only guess where that peanut is! -Connect the dots. Another neat game to help little ones learn their numbers. Simply click on the numbers in the right order and the dots are automatically connected. The numbers go up into the 20s most times. When they're finished with a picture, the outline is filled in and most often, it's (you guessed it!) a bird! -- Object search. Kristina said this one is easy! And it was. See an item and then find it in the picture. For a 6 year old this was too easy and a little boring. For younger kids, they would delight doing this activity. - Puzzles. Online jigsaw puzzles of interesting things and places. Kids drag the pieces one by one and place them in the correct positions. The puzzles we worked on were 12 pieces and mildly challenging to a 6 year old. She had fun doing them though, and even her puzzle addicted mother kept going in this section a while. - Coloring book. Color different birds using a small palette of colors. Kids can mix colors together by adding them to the bird. The neatest thing of all here is the rainbow effect. After coloring in the bird with different colors, click on the rainbow and see how the colors cycle through the bird. Too cool! * Singalongs -- Learn 11 songs by clicking on the title and reading the words as the songs are sung with musical accompaniment. Fun graphics are included, although there's very little animation. Most of the songs are about birds or dogs, but there very cute. Check out the last one, Bird's of a Feather -- Kristina's and my favorite song!
