It only took ten for Brøderbund to conquer their share of the industry with powerhouse franchises Choplifter and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

YES NO When Doug Carlson finished writing his first computer game in 1979, he and brother Gary founded a company solely to market it. Time, this hero - this Prince - will tell you, is an ocean in a storm, and he sails those dangerous waters with the grace of a dancer, the potency of a sword. Always, there are consequences for the unwary traveler, and traps take on many forms.
