Sold my Amiga 500 to one of the game’s graphic designers back in the 90s. He told me his image was used for one of the characters.
Oddity of that night… I was in Chicago and I had a very old car at the time (Olds Omega). It konked out on me as I was leaving. So I had go back up to his apartment and ask to use his phone. He (and his wife/gf) let me, but they acted very odd like I was somehow up to something. I couldn’t find anyone to pick me up either and I didn’t want spend the money I just made on that crap car! Luckily I went out and tried again and the car started.
It always struck me how he and his girl seemed so… well almost elitist — maybe they were so isolated they were just scared of lower class strangers.
