Rather than attempt to juggle a potentially confusing budget label with the same branding as their full price software, Telecomsoft decided to rebrand their Silver 199 budget label 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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://birdsanctuary.co.uk/history-silverbird-software/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151110061012/http://birdsanctuary.co.uk/history-silverbird-software/ |archive-date=10 November 2015 |title=The History of Silverbird Software - The Bird Sanctuary}}</ref>

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.
