Parroty Interactive
Background
Parroty Interactive was a short-lived subsidiary of Palladium Interactive based in Larkspur, California that focused on parody games. Unfortunately for them, their games turned out to be poorly-received. The company was ultimately shut down on April 5, 1999 after Palladium was bought by The Learning Company.
