I would be interested to know just how many kids prefered to be the cops
when we played cops and robbers back then.  I for one will admit that I
always liked being on the robbers side.  Bad guys are always more
interesting.  Good guys are limited in what they can do by rules.  Bad guys
have no such rules.  Boy, what a tangent this has become.  Okay, black and
yellow.  That's why Blacktron is so cool.  (and all that cops and robbers
stuff too  ;)

Colors being opposite, the subconscious might view BT1 as the anti-LEGO,
like the evil alternate universe of Star Trek.  BT1 is, by appearance, the
Dark Side of LEGO.  And that somehow appeals to a part of ourselves that • is
excited by the sinister, the criminal, and the dangerous -something most • of
us explore only in fantasy.  And what better way to experience such • fantasy
than with LEGO toys?

So the next question is obvious:  How do the Res-Q sets fit in?  Aren't
they also of this inverse-LEGO color scheme?   :-o

Long live Blacktron!

Look at it: Black with Yellow highlights. The standard "LEGO" colors (...) (23 years ago, 16-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
