Parroty Interactive, of Larkspur, California, was a video game developer, active during the 1990s; the company is no longer in business. Parroty created a number of notable parody video games for the PC and Apple Macintosh. The company's name was intended as a play-on-words between "parody" and "parrot"; the company logo depicted a red parrot, with Groucho Marx-style glasses, moustache, and cigar. Parroty was a division of Palladium Interactive; the parent company's main focus was on children's educational and "home productivity" software. Palladium Interactive was bought out by The Learning Company in 1998, and the Parroty division was discontinued. less
