   his role is vastly overrated these days imho. he might have been semi known   
   in the usa, but even there - lets be honest - teenagers who want to play   
   video games couldnt care less :) outside of usa he wasnt really known at all   
   (nor his books). i've never heard or seen his name before the internet era
