Dekorating Blues has an intro on side A of the tape, and starts with a Fiona's sampled voice repeating the title with a Max Headroom stutter. After such a length and glorious presentation you'd expect something quite somethisticated but it's just a standard paint-the-labyrinth game with udg graphics, and a character erasing your work of art. You're left wondering what Fiona looks like. 2/5

I wasn't anticipating much with this game but I've got to say this surprised me. The speech is frankly ridiculous, it took me a few times to figure out what she was trying to say, but of course it's Dekorating Blues what else could it have been? But the game itself has a bit of charm to it and I was able to get into it, reaching level 9 before my emulator crashed. I was confused in that the level ended before I filled up the whole grid, but you don't need to, you just need your paint count to reach zero. It becomes bland after a while but given I expected much worse I was pleasantly pleased with this.

A Painter-style game with UDG-sized sprites? In 1986? Yes. Had it been released in 1983, it would have been worth about 10 minutes of your time; in 1986 it was already completely and utterly forgettable. Not worth the tape it was recorded on.
