History

Delta Tao was founded in 1990 by Joe Williams and Tim Cotter, who had developed Color MacCheese, a paint program notable for being the first to use 24-bit color and for its $49 price tag at a time when its nearest competitor, PixelPaint, was $399.[1] Delta Tao hosted a booth at Mac World Boston in 1990, featuring Color MacCheese and Polly MacBeep.[2] Its early products included several innovative graphics programs for Macintosh, including Zeus and Monet, but within a few years the company had shifted almost entirely to games, usually geared for network play.

Delta Tao uses minimalist software packaging, which has earned them recognition as an eco-friendly software company.[3] A demo version of the company's Eric's Ultimate Solitaire program was shipped with each Macintosh at one point.[4]
