Btw : Someone should update his wiki page and add that he also did graphics for games

There are other possible explanations for a legit mistake by mailman:

- The end credits could use a stylized medieval-like F that looks like a modern T.
- The end credits code section could have been mistyped.

Although the pieces of evidence seem to go massively in favour of Matt Furniss being indeed the graphics artist, one could wonder why he would not also have worked on the music of the game. Sometimes, the printed manuals/box contain mistakes.

Now, the real interesting thing would be either a screenshot from the end game credits or a save game/save states.

I did not find a trained version of the game and don't have the time to go through the game, so if anyone has one of these (mailman?), it would be very welcomed.

Just kidding, lilalurl.

Galahad/FLT · 30 August 2009, 17:55

Its not Matt Furniss, its a typo.

Matt Furniss did NOT work for Gremlin.... ever! Matt Furniss was inhouse at Teque/Krisalis, and only did music.

I think it should rather be to mailman that you should say that.
I am sure you did not mean any harm with your post but I don't think it was necessary nor welcome.

Just imagine somebody else posts after you, saying "or stop drinking vodka (or whatever typical Polish alcohol) while playing games".
Nice? Funny?

As for Matt Furniss, now that we have Galahad contradicting the scan and until the whole issue is solved, I believe someone should update Matt Furniss' wikipedia page, removing the Legacy of Sorasil part.
