I got really busy with school and work in the mid 80s, and actually don't know most of those names.

Thom Dowd started out as FGU's stock boy! Last I saw him in person was at CES trade show around '94; I was a booth slave for a marginal multimedia company; he was in a white linen suit and high up there at some game company.

I googled him up the other day. Today he's creative lead on a MMPORPG, and teaching a college course on computer entertainment design in Chicago.
