Brøderbund Software was an American software developer and publisher that existed from 1980-1998. The company primarily sold video games, but also sold utility software. Their more popular brands included Loderunner, Karateka, Prince of Persia, Carmen Sandiego, Myst, and The Print Shop.
The company was started by brother Doug and Gary Carlston to sell the games coded by Doug Carlston. The company saw a lot of initial success, especially from The Print Shop, and went public in 1991. However, after several poor years, they sold to The Learning Company in 1998. The brand continued for many years later.

Personal
I always remember being impressed with the named "Brøderbund," in particular, because of the slash through the o. The first Brøderbund game I remember playing was Where In the USA Is Carmen Sandiego? at my cousin's house, but, over the years, I played a surprisingly large number of Brøderbund titles, usually without even knowing it. My family's first computer included a copy of The New Print Shop which I played around with quite a lot as well.
