Total Distortion

Total Distortion

Total Distortion is a 1995 adventure game for Mac and Windows, developed by Pop Rocket. It was critically acclaimed for being innovative and creative. [http://joesparks.com/totaldistortion/td_awards.htm]

The gameplay has the player as a music video entrepreneur in the "Distortion Dimension", a place where you fight "Guitar Warriors" which you face in guitar battles. The ultimate goal of the game is to get fame points, make lots of money, and to film successful music videos. The game was also known for its sense of humor (the game over screen featured the enemy singing a song with the words, "Your heart has stopped and your brain is cold, you are so so dead"). One of the most distinctive features of the game was the sleep mode. When players went to sleep, a dream appeared. The game had to be played inside the dream. The worst would be having a nightmare, which decreased the mental energy.

The programming of this game was headed up mostly by Joe Sparks, creator of "Radiskull and Devil Doll".The game also got a Worst Game Ever Award, by the Norwegian magazine PC For Alle.
