Who is the third person pictured in Split Personnalities ?

[TomEtJerry]

Hi,

I just played again "Split personnalities" game, it's really cool :-). I wonder who is the guy of the third level (Cpc-power says that's Gorbachev, but I think it's wrong, as it clearly seems to be a member of the Labour party). I tried to find the name of this political man without success... I suppose that might be easy for (old) english people to answer me and correct this awful error :-).

It is neil Kinnock a uk politician.

[Gryzor]

So what did he do to be included?

[TFM]

He befriended Gorbachev 

[dcdrac]

Neil Kinnock led the UK Labour Party until after the 1992 General Election.

[TomEtJerry]

Well, I suppose that in 1986, he was a well knwon politician...

Yeah Split Personalities was a great game, enjoyable romp, I think I completed once, v hard though.

[Puresox]

Yeah Kinnock was Thatchers' adversary, and was a well known person of ridicule on 'Spitting Images ' An excellent and sorely missed satirical show in the U.K., which I think this game was going to use that as a title? But it was already taken by another crap game!

[MacDeath]

Yeay, this guy was the "unknown english" dude to most of the rest of the world.





When will this game be hacked so we can update it ?
It really was a nice game.

Puresox is talking about this show:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_Image

A  puppet show where they made fun of the political stories and people.

I think the story goes that split personalities was meant to be a spitting image game or something.

I like MacDeath's idea to update it with modern people

[arnoldemu]

Well, I suppose that in 1986, he was a well knwon politician...

Yes he was at that time.

BTW, I loved playing Split Personalities too.

[arnoldemu]

Thatcher was in power in 1986. She was the leader of the Conservative political party.
Neil was in opposition and leader of the Labour party.

Strangely, he wore glasses for most of his political career, but both the CPC picture and the CV / Passport looking picture are without glasses?

Bryce.

[TFM]

Wearing glasses is a means to look more intelligent......    See, it works!

[Gryzor]

Loved the game too. Even though I was very young I found the political angle quite interesting.

[MacDeath]

Still, poor use of the palette, not enough lighting effects, nor proper ditherings.


But hey, the game was fast and smoothly animated.
