Nodes of Yesod from the Odin Computer Graphics Team!

Happy 40th Anniversary to Nodes of Yesod! This was the first original game I shipped, way back in 1985 at Odin Computer Graphics, in Liverpool, England. The specific release date seems to be lost in the mists of time, but it was a Crash Smash in the August 1985 issue of Crash magazine, so I’m probably only off by a month or two.

Do you remember playing the game? What did you like or dislike about it?

Some of my memories from that time are shared on my blog: https://blog.stevewetherill.com/2022/02/odin-computer-graphics-part-one-1985.html

A retro video game title screen with 8-bit graphics. The title "NODES OF YESOD" is displayed in yellow text over a starry, blue and black space background with a yellow and brown object in the foreground, possibly a landing pad or a landscape. To the right is a large, grey and white pixel art depiction of an astronaut in a full suit with a yellow visor. Below the main graphic, the text "Odin COMPUTER GRAPHICS LTD" is displayed. A text menu below the main image shows four options: "1 KEYBOARD", "2 KEMPSTON", "3 CURSOR", and "4 INTERFACE II". The bottom of the screen reads "©1985 O.C.G. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED". The image fades to black and then text scrolls across the bottom of the screen, revealing a short poem or clue for the game: "NODES OF YESOD from the Odin computer graphics team... THE ULTIMATE SPACE AGE GRAPHICAL ARCADE ADVENTURE. CATCH A MOLE FIND A HOLE JUMP RIGHT DOWN AND START TO ROLL. WHAT YOU DO IS FIND A CLUE OF RED MAGENTA GREEN OR BLUE. TAKE SOME TIME DESCEND AND CLIMB GO AND FIND THE RIGHT ALCHEMS. THE TASK IS PLAIN WITH EIGHT THE SAME SEEK THE MONOLITH AND THATS THE GAME." The screen then shows the joystick music demo sequence.
