I collect things related to Sega CD and one day I came across a set of press CDs from Rocket Science games along with some other Rocket Science swag. Several years later I was scanning the disc and covers and noticed that Ron had written “Heads Up! Ron Cobb” on the CD liner for an alpha build of Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine.
He had been one of the early employees of Rocket Science, whose goal was to being Hollywood quality movie experiences to console games. Several of his designs from Space Truckers were brought in for vehicle design and I believe he wrote the story.
It’s become one of my favorite bits in that collection.
Throughout my research I also came across Elon Musk being an early contractor there who wrote their video compression algorithm for the PC versions.
