Silverbird (Telecomsoft)
Rather than attempt to juggle a number of potentially confusing budget labels with the same branding as their full price software, Telecomsoft decided to consolidate and rebrand their budget labels as a single Silverbird range. Two price points were established for 8-bit software (£1.99 and £2.99) while a few budget 16-bit titles were priced at £9.99. These various price points were differentiated between by their own particular style of packaging.
Rather than simply republish their existing range of budget software, Silverbird published a range of titles that hadn't previously been released at a budget price point. This included many original new titles as well older full-price titles acquired from other publishers.
Following MicroProse's acquisition of Telecomsoft, the US publisher sold off the Silverbird label to a Tudor Enterprises, a British publisher. They published a compilation pack of old Silverbird titles and a small number of original titles before closing down their software publishing operations
The label Silverbird was sold to the British publisher Tudor Enterprises after the takeover by Microprose.
