THE RUGRATS HAVE TWO CD-ROMS in the top 20. So does Barbie. Luckily there's no need for temper tantrums -- they'll all soon be living under the same roof. In December, Barbie game maker Mattel announced plans to acquire Rugrats game owner The Learning Company for about $3.8 billion. TLC brings with it more than a bunch of babies: As the proud parent of Broderbund, it boasts chart dominators Myst and Riven. Dream crossover? Sirrus and Achenar battling an evil life force called Angelica.
