The little conversations with them were odd. IIRC, they were in that dwarf castle somewhere. But that game has so many castles it's hard to keep them all straight. Oh, and weren't there developer appearances in the original Pokemon games?

Shame you couldn't break him out of Ion Storm before IW happened. You break Ford Schick (aka Warren Spector) out of an underground lab in Deus Ex, of course.

How many examples of game-devs implementing personal avatars in games are there anyway? I actually can't think of others than Richard Garriot at the moment.
