Broderbund was a prominent software company in the 1980s-1990s that published many DOS and early Windows games, including Prince of Persia (1989), which is often considered one of the first popular DOS platform games. Ubisoft acquired Broderbund in 1998. Ubisoft Montreal is a subsidiary studio, while Red Orb Entertainment was a Broderbund spinoff. The terminology 'POP dos game' likely refers to Prince of Persia.
