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
evencent@midway.uchicago.edu P.S. forgot to mention if interested dysfunctionells

it's to confussing especially in battle.
I start off searching the place and
getting something to eat? than i leave
and don't know what to do? you don't
even leave a little walk thru to help
get me started who wants to read all
those books making a video is a whole
project and i can't even figure it out
the cool thing is the graphics the rest
is just to time consuming to figure out
and boring yet the ideas are cool but
definately need improvement

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

Congratulations on the long-awaited release! If
the game is half as good as the demos, it should be fantastic. For those of you
who can't get enough distortion, check out Turntable Med

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 Sr. Sales Associate, Software Etc Store# 283,

Righteous game!!!!!! But needs hints badly!! I

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 spotfor over 20 hours of play. Right before the cable maze. Otherwise its a great
concept - very unique.

Lots O' Fun! Wish I could do more with
the video sequencer, though -- it's tough
to get the images up right at the beat
you want them on. (Of course, I only
have a 486/33...) Puzzles have a bit more
hand-eye-timing coordination than I prefer,
but still fun. Now if I can just get this
artifact assembled I might figure out what
the shower curtain rings are for.

I played TD yesterday at a friend┤s who┤s reviewing
the game for a german computer-mag. My opinion:
terrific!!!! I got addicted immediately and tried to
download your demo for the PowerMac but was prompted
with "Warning: unrecognized encoding: Mac-binhex40"
I use a PPC 710o/66 with system 7.5.1 and the latest
Stuffit engine. The downloading stopped after some
60% and the decoding process ended with a warning that
the file might be damaged. Too bad! Anyhow, it seems
mankind is about to become totally distorted - as if
it wasn┤t distorted already...crazy stuff! Congratulations!

I think TD is truly awesome. It is really stimulating and innovative.
However, I do have one gripe: it's too easy to get killed!!!
I mean, here I am, all psyched to explore this bizarre and intriguing world, and I can't even get past the Guitar Warriors on the easiest setting.
I think it's a great product, and clearly a lot of work went into it, but I think the difficulty still needs to be tweaked for people who want to explore...as an arcade thumb-candy game, it is mediocre at best, but as an engaging audio-visual experience, it is superb.

Total Distortion is the best thing to
come down the pike since sliced bread,

kidding! How they were able to combine
so many wonderful elements of fun and
silliness into the same game, and then
add some of the hoopiest music ever to
be laid on a cd is beyond me. Those
guys at Pop Rocket must be gods or

Fellow taftains, Once agian I have to say what a great game this is and I'm looking forward to your next game. Here's a idea. I think you (Joe and Kent) need to contact Quetin Teratino (spelling error) and see about hooking up with him to either do a computer generated movie together and or video game. What's up with Robert Dinero? Hey I gotta go so you guys take care and if you ever need any help with digital production or efx let me know. Also I love the radio in the tower and the face game is cool too.
