Background

Parroty Interactive was a short-lived subsidiary of Palladium Interactive that focused on parodies of games. Unfortunately for them, a majority of their games turned out to be poorly-received. The company was ultimately shut down in 1998 once Palladium was bought by The Learning Company.

Logo (October 8, 1996-January 5, 1998)

Visuals: On a white background, we see the purple circles from the normal Palladium logo, but in the red figure's place is a red parrot wearing Groucho Marx glasses and a cigar in its left hand. "PARROTY INTERACTIVE", in the same stacked style as its parent logo, appears below.

Variant: On Star Warped, the logo dissolves into the Luminare Multimedia logo.

Technique: None.

Audio: A distorted whimsical tune ending with a squawk and a cough.

Audio Variant: On Pyst, the parrot says "Parroty. Parroty Interactive." Then, the parrot squawks and coughs.

Availability: Seen on a few parody games from the company, such as Pyst and Microshaft Winblows 98.
