i think he said it because the picture was too small... if not, why wouldn't he answered it?
about the game, it's a game that almost everyone that had a 386 or a 486 and played games since that time, played for sure. i tried to pick a game that almost everyone played but that wasn't that esay to guess, unless you read my clues
the man in the picture it's one of many that aren't heroes at the begining of the game... but that will try to be throughout the game
