Odin Computer Graphics started
off in unpromising style as Thor, a software house which (like
so many others in the early 1980s) published games submitted
by amateur programmers. Not surprisingly, its products were
not very good.
In 1985, the Liverpool-based
company changed tack and name. In future, its games would
be produced by an in-house programming team. The results were
impressive - some of the most graphically appealing games
ever produced for the Spectrum.
Odin eventually became a developer
for Telecomsoft, British Telecom's software publishing arm
(which used the Firebird and Rainbird labels). By this time,
however, the team was already splitting up. Most still work
in the software industry.
