It's hard to comprehend what a juggernaut Broderbund was for a while in the early '80s. Games like Karateka and Choplifter were big. Lode Runner was huge. But The Print Shop was massive. Like "everyone you knew had a copy" massive. To me, nothing says early-'80s quite like a banner printed out sideways across a couple dozen pages of fan-fold paper on a dot-matrix printer.

Granted, knowing the times, probably 90% of those copies were pirated and made $0 for Broderbund.
