Quoted from RGR:Is that actually meant to be him?
Yeah it's him, and Borg is one of the walkers on the display. Pretty sure I heard it confirmed in one of the interviews when the game came out.

I still can't believe one man's passion got me to buy a game that I once considered trash. Lyman's final update on TWD was the greatest thing ever. I don't think I will ever get rid of this thing.
We were also able to hold a Lyman's Tournament at out local arcade in Corpus Christi tonight. MB, AFM, EHoH, WWE, TWD, and B66 were injected into every round possible. It was a fun night!

Thank you Lyman.

Borg is the walker that gets hit with the crowbar when you open the prison doors.

I remember people hating twd when it came out. It was ugly, no content from show, and played brutal. Now it's considered one of the best.
Just played a bunch of Monster Bash. Of course I activated his special Lymans lament , so sorry he passed away. Prayers for his family.
Quoted from Rarehero:I was set to sell my MB this weekend - now I’m not sure…I have plenty of other Lyman games, is that dumb to wanna hang onto MB now? A week ago, Lyman was trying to convince me to sell NGG…gah.
If you already have a deal, you should keep it. But any true collector with games from the last 30 years should have at least one Lyman game.
And I’ll have to respectfully disagree with Lyman about Gofers.
Lyman and I have always had a love hate relationship. He has that silent delay for ball savers that feels like it’s 3 seconds of grace person sometimes. I always give that “Thank you Lyman!” When the ball spits back out and launches. Then I’m playing Metallica and I’m knowing I have a great CIU jackpot, but I get greedy and try to double it… F%@k you Lyman. Tonight it was AC/DC in tribute, but just couldn’t get anything done. But that’s OK, I’ll tangle with him in perpetuity, even though he’s gone. Though I’m a bit bummed I only had TWD here for a few months. Some day I’ll find a nice Pro to add to the stable so I can swear at him a bit more

Yeah, I’ll prob go thru with it…I just didn’t want to do it today. It’s a local buyer, it’s all good. We’ll figure it out. I have lots of other Lyman games in my collection - Tron, Iron Man, Metallica, AC/DC, Medieval, Revenge from Mars.
Quoted from iceman44:BM66. Lyman took an average at best layout and turned the game into a fun masterpiece. Maybe his finest work.
Just bought BM66 tonight for the second time now, I see this one staying a lot longer now next to my TWD.
Really hurts knowing he is gone for good now....
Quoted from Rensh:50% of my current collection are Lyman games and they are also my favorite ones.
Played only them yesterday as a tribute to him

Nice!
RIP Lyman
Quoted from jawjaw:I remember people hating twd when it came out. It was ugly, no content from show, and played brutal. Now it's considered one of the best.
If you think about it, the game is still ugly, brutal and has no content from the show. BUT it has Lyman's rules and those are good enough to make up for everything else. That's how good he was.
