'''Red Orb Entertainment''' was formed in May 1997 as the video-gaming division of [[Brøderbund Software]]. It was specially formed to distinguish games like ''Prince of Persia 3D'' away from the company's edutainment titles. The name is "broder" spelled backwards. When Brøderbund was acquired by [[The Learning Company]] on August 31, 1998, Red Orb became a publishing label for Mindscape. The company was dismantled in 1999 and released their last game in 2000. In 2001, [[Ubisoft Entertainment|Ubisoft]] acquired Mattel/TLC's entertainment assets, including the Red Orb library. |

'''Visuals:''' A burning {{color|red}} star appears in space and a comet passes around it. The star zooms out of a giant "O", from the name "REDORB", which also zooms under the logo. The comet makes a streak over the star and the logo shines to leave the background white. The star turns into a {{color|red}} orb with the streak and the name below, where "{{Font|Arial Black|RED}}" is white and taken in a black box, and "{{Font|Arial Black|ORB}}" is negative. "{{Font|Arial Black|e n t e r t a i n m e n t}}" is seen below. |
