LAST EDITED ON Feb-06-05 AT 07:47 AM (Pacific)Hi Llevram,
The name Snafaru came by accident, I just mispelled something and stuck with it since I was then sure no-one else was using that handle
From the link on my site "...on millions of television sets in the late 1977 when 'Thundarr the Barbarian' premiered"... so it was out before Wizardry, or the idea or talks about it was out before Wizardry... most likely, probably, but who knows for sure?
Personnaly I never saw it since it wasn't shown in Canada I think, but I'm sure some of us old enough would remember, I was a teenager when Wiz came out.
Also, interesting is the site of the creators of Thundarr the Barbarian here: http://www.rubyspears.com/
And it's freakish to see the action figure look exactly like a Mook!
Maybe we could ask guys from both clans who stole who's idea... can you spell lawsuit now?
Snafaru
EDIT: ok, reading the game text and thinking more about it now, the Wiz guys had to take their inspiration somewhere, and I bet what's written is what the character on the show said... and think about it, why didn't it show in other release of Wiz 1 but the Apple version... probably because they were stepping on someone's toes...
