Subject: Delta tau one/and some random retro ramblings
I've heard of Delta Tau One before, but I was never even sure if it
ever existed. I must've originally heard of it some 15-17 years ago,
which would've made me somewhere between the grand ages of 7 and 9
years old. At the time I wasn't really interested in it, partially
because I didn't know weither to believe it was real. Also mine and
probably a lot of other peoples games collections were most likely
already flooded with rips offs of galaxian, space invaders, galaga
and so on. Usually found on those dodgy compilations that had ten
games on that sounded good but you'd never heard of any of them (they
were always under a tenner). Although to an extent I can't badmouth
the compilations otherwise I may never have played a lot of games
that I now love (and hate for that matter). Although there was the
home computer clubs unforgivable Cassette 50 which ironically I've
dedicated a room to in Bizarre (I haven't actually drawn it and it
was afterthought from the down and out trilogy but I'm gonna put it
into Bizarre because the Spec EDs of the DOA trilogy are gonna be a
very long time away yet).
