 Golden Otto Awards!

An Annual Feature Article by Techtite

 

Every entertainment-oriented web site needs an awards "show" of its own. Welcome to Techtite.com's; the Golden Ottos!

Why "Golden Ottos?" Back in 1999, all ratings at Techtite.com were offered via a scale of one to five smiley icons. Of course, we couldn't use a "smiley" to rate video games, and still be taken seriously, so we preferred to call them "Ottos," in honor of "Evil Otto," the indestructible "smiley" from the classic arcade game Berserk. He was a spherical droid who would pummel your character --always with a smile!-- if you stayed motionless on one screen for too long. In time, this ratings system was upgraded to a more "tektite" savvy, crater-like icon system of today. Better entertainment, of course, leads to a bigger impact, right...?

After two years online, the need arose for an annual awards feature at Techtite.com. The problem: every attempt to make a "Golden Deep Impact" award (based on Techtite's highest rating  symbol) were unsuccessful. In the end, it was decided to make a spurious "statuette" based on our original ratings scheme, leading to the...Golden Ottos!

Here are additional graphics for any promotional web site, blog, or message board which may wish to link to these awards pages.
