Welcome Simon Butler to EAB! Your description on Frank Gasking's superb C64 GTW site about Total Recall Mk1 has to rank amongst the all-time funniest on-coming trainwreck disaster development stories! Not so funny to try & collaberate something quickly enough to prevent bankruptcy though, I'd assume.
As for your question,who was Chris Butler?!
Given you worked at Ocean, (& hence not likely to cross paths with someone who worked elsewhere), I guess its not a surprising question though!
Chris Butler was fondly remembered by many C64 veterans for his great arcade conversions. Though not pixel perfect, they tended to be quite playable. His best translations were C64 Ghost 'n' Goblins, Power Drift, & Ninja Spirit. Though not noted for his original C64 works, late in the C64's commercial life he also did Turbocharge for System 3, which was considered by many amongst the best 3D sprite based racing games for the C64. Before that he done games for Elite, U.S. Gold, & Activision amongst others.
