Odin Computer Graphics was a Liverpool-based computer games developer who came to prominence in the mid-1980s with a variety of titles for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC home computers.

When I started at Odin, the game Nodes of Yesod was already underway, plenty of the cool graphics (Astro Charlie, etc) had been created and there was a playable demo (on Spectrum, possibly on C64) already. I have an indelible memory of that somersault animation on that bright blue moon surface.
At this time, there was quite a buzz surrounding Nodes of Yesod. The graphics were certainly amongst the best I had ever seen (actual artists!), and I was glad to be asked to work on the game. Besides, Odin had cool, modern offices (in Canning Place – located in Liverpool across the road from the Albert Dock, near the Liver Building, etc – but all demolished in the late ’90s), and (all importantly) a spiffy phone system.
