fun being a half baked turd, since I can't remember when!! Long live Pop

As an interactive multimedia/virtual reality designer, I would like 2 say
that Total Distortion is a great expression of the power of this form of
technology, and extremely well done! OOOOOOH YEAH!

What took you so long? I've been waiting since April. One unbelieveable
setup. Far out graphics and kool tunes. Everything as promised and more.
Now if I can live long enough to enjoy the unknown!

Great game and tons of fun with the video editer, i've been waiting since
i read about your product in the april issue of electronic entertainment
and tried the demo, its every byte as good as i hoped it would be. I play
music parttime in chicago with the dysfunctionells so it was something
that interested me when i learned distortion was a game that involved you
being creative with music. Is there any chance that one day one might be
able to create there own music with a midi device and incorperate that
into the game? just asking, that probably would be impossible but anyway
thanks for the great game, vence email evenc...@midway.uchicago.edu P.S.
forgot to mention if interested dysfunctionells web page

Righteous game!!!!!! But needs hints badly!! I have logged 32 hours
playing and I keep dying in the "TV" maze - so I cant get any new footage
for vids, I am getting a little frustrated - so I have quit playing until
I can get some hints.

Hey, GREAT Game! I've figured out how to get in the vault and had a lot
of fun. I have yet to figure out how to 'prove my aliegence (sp?) to the
metal lord' and thereby stop losing my life force in the vid hall. I'm
going to be using my blaster E a lot from now on I'm sure. Love how it
blasts the guitar warriors. --Gray

Hey! I work part-time at a Software Etc store in Rhode Island. TD looked
uh, "unique" when we first got it, so I checked out the game for a few
days. You creeps! Now I'm addicted to the damned game & will probably
spen d all of next week's paycheck on my own copy. Anyway, just to let
you all know that I was very impressed with the total package--game play,
variety, looks--you've got a winner and it's something I can recommend as
THE Christmas gift for a totally distort ed holiday. Thanks, Peg Reill

I think TD is great! Although it is a bit puzzling to figure out what you
should do next at any given time, it's not a real brain racker if you
look at the obvious. The total environment with all the crazy sounds and
all is awesome!

Really great game, very addictive - but I wish there were more hints in
the documentation that came with it. I have been stuck in the same spot
for over 20 hours of play. Right before the cable maze. Otherwise its a
great concept - very unique.

some more hints would be appropriate now that the game has been released.
VERY cool but I keep dying
