"Oh wow! How about Sorcerer Houlihan's Shrine? Or how about The Phantom Cave? Or Chris the Adventurer's Mystery Room?"
Yeah, but what if he wanted to name it "Room of Farts" or something?

"Nah, you can't name it that."

"Ok, Chaplain Houlihan's Lair of Mystery it is then  "

Oh yeah? If you got your name put in a game that became one of the all-time great masterpieces of video gaming, you tell us how that'd be "nothing special" to you.  


Maybe he doesn't even care about it considering no one knows anything about the guy. I mean if it WAS a big deal to him I figure he would be touting it even to this day. 

I frequent a few Mega Man fan sites and I remember reading a piece on Daniel Valle,who came up with Knight Man for the North American robot master contest and had his name in the credits.....the dude said he's never played Mega Man 6.

You would think if it were a big deal that you would want to see your name in the credits but apparently not that guy. So maybe this guy is the same way?

I bet he was actually a SEGA kid and never played any Zelda games.

I'm pretty sure the kid who won the "Mask II" contest murdered him.

Should just rename it the Joel or Purple Gannon room.

He couldn't handle the fame and he ended up in a hotel bathroom in a tub full of ice with his kidneys missing.
