People wonder sometimes what we do all day.  Most of the time it’s just boring old work, but sometimes you get research something truly bizarre.  Such was the case today.  

In a meeting early today, someone asked: “What are the names of the two characters in Forgotten Worlds?” 

Well, the blue character we’ve used in a couple a fighting games, and his name is The Unknown Soldier.  Not a very imaginitive name, but at least he had one.  The red guy’s name was a lot harder to discover.  You could only play as him if you were the second player, so he just didn’t get as much notice.  We researched for awhile, looking both internally and over the web, hunting for his name.   

Turns out he does have a name, though we only ever used it when he appeared as a thug in “Final Fight.”  Sending one of our helper zombies down into archives (we pay them in delicious brains), we uncovered his name and are happy to confirm that his name is Two P (2p) . . .

Didn’t think we could get less imaginitive than The Unknown Soldier, did you?
