Retronauts Episode 144: Brøderbund (Patreon)

By patron request! This episode covers a lot of ground we've explored already in our Apple II, Myst, and metroidvania episodes, but again: This is by request. Plus, Brøderbund deserves a dedicated episode — especially one that goes beyond just their games and explores their productivity apps. I think all people of a certain age can't help but see that triple-crown logo and be taken back to their childhood days of mucking around in a computer lab with The Print Shop… 

Despite the unhappy outcome that befell Brøderbund in the end, it was a huge part of many people's formative days. Ben, Benj, and I have all attempted to do justice to the subject matter! And to get the pronunciation of the name correct…

Just as a quick heads-up, next week's episode will be coming in a day or two late. I'm heading to San Francisco in a few days to record four solid days of podcasts, then flying home first thing Monday.
