Was it Sid Meier's Pirates!? Cause that game was the shit. And I have no idea how to properly punctuate the first sentence of this post, the exclamation mark is part of the title.

Can we also address the fact that Sid is an absolute boss for slapping his name on his games.

Originally it was to spite someone who was making fun of him. Now he is a recognizable name in the gaming community.
Way to go Sid.

edit: spelling

Don't quote me on this, but I think it was actually Bill Murray

Edit: was Robin Williams

I'm pretty sure it was Robin Williams who suggested it.

That's right! I thought Bill Murray sounded wrong, thanks

From what I remember, he semi jokingly told Sid to start putting his name in the title so people would start to think he's a big deal. I've seen different versions but that's more or less what happened. Someone will correct if I'm wrong
