Red Orb Entertainment was a publishing division created by the Brøderbund software company to market its video game titles, distinguishing them from its library of edutainment titles, which it marketed to schools.

History[]

Launched on May 21, 1997 and based in Novato, California, the name comes from the first six letters of "Broderbund," which spell "Red Orb" when reversed.[1]

After its parent company Brøderbund was acquired by The Learning Company in 1998, Red Orb's brand continued to be used and was supported by the latter's Mindscape division.[2] Subsequent games of the Myst, Prince of Persia, and Warlords franchises were later published by Ubisoft, which had acquired The Learning Company's entertainment library in March 2001.[3]
