A Dog in Tetris CD-i

Post by Bas » Sun Oct 30, 2005 5:37 pm

When browsing through some old stuff i found some notes i almost forgot about a dog walking in the scenery of Tetris, 'at certain conditions'.....


This happens to be a programmer joke by David Todd, anyone ever seen this dog? I'll explain later, this should be worth a contest or something :)

Yes, I've seen this. And I remember that there wasn't anything that triggered this. It just happened.
It's mentioned in one of the Dutch CD-i magazines.

Looks more like a sheep, if you ask me...

But some dogs do look like sheep!

Hmm sheep, that reminds me of a silly story Pete Dabbs once told me. During his tenure at Mirage him and a friend went out on a double date to some country fair where they came across this sheep which was going to the slaughter house after this fair. Anyway to show that they were "sensitive" Pete and his Mate bought the sheep to impress the ladies and save the poor creature from the chop. Later they took it back to the Mirage offices as they didn't know what else to do with it!! Around this time Brian May was visiting Mirage to do the CD-i soundtrack for the game and wasn't expecting to witness a sheep of all creatures in the office complex. I still have an image of this fluffy sheep and Brian May observing each other, perhaps with Brians hairdo the sheep thought it was a potential mate!! :roll:
