I don't know if the original .400 webpage had this, but it looks nice...

Steve doesn't look anything like what I pictured in my mind. I thought he would look a lot like Cal Ripken.

Scott Vibert · 07-28-2003, 03:05 PM

It did although some of the pictures are new... the captions are still the same though...

JWay · 07-28-2003, 04:39 PM

yah I hope you code until your 110...

LivnLegend · 07-28-2003, 04:58 PM

Markus looks like a baseball prospect
Andres looks like he belongs at the science fair
Aurelio looks like a soccer player
Steve looks like a fly fisherman
Jim looks like an auto dealer general manager
Tom looks like the auto dealer service manager

Good show fellas!

Markus looks like the lead vocalist of some dreadful pop band.
Andreas looks like he has something to say.
Aurelio looks like a shaman I once met in Nicaragua.
Steve looks like a fly fisherman.
Jim looks like an Iranian bazaari.
Tom looks like the brother of an Iranian bazaari.

Steve Kuffrey · 07-28-2003, 06:30 PM

Ugh, I haven't fished since my dad "forced" me when I was like 8 and hated it......guess I need a makeover

Steve, I think they must have been thinking about how you are as patient as a fly fisherman, answering all the questions from vets and rooks

Andreas looks like he had something to do, no fun being potographed at all, and as if Aurelio was telling him to look photogen

this is a scary bunch here. I miss the Joe Stallings pic though. The Jimmy Kimmel look a like pic was classic.

By the way, meet is spelled wrong on that site. The link on the top of that page (http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/aboutus.php#team) says "Meat the team"

Specs · 08-03-2003, 12:53 PM

That's for Katrina's eyes only!

Andreas Raht · 08-03-2003, 04:30 PM

LOL
The meat team

Thanks for the info, fantom.

El Caballo · 08-03-2003, 05:05 PM

Wow, Markus created the first OOTP when he was only 21! That's pretty unbelievable, if you ask me. Or are most game producers that young? I really have no idea, but it seems like he 21 would be young to make such an outstanding game.

Kezzek · 08-04-2003, 02:43 PM

Great staff page! Andreas' is the best.

Steve, you do look like you're heading out to catch a few and drink a few.

Long_Long_Name · 08-05-2003, 12:33 AM

Is it me or Markus looks like Jack White a little? I didn't think so on the old pictue, but this one, wow

.

KurtBevacqua · 08-05-2003, 03:08 PM

I've always wondered how it came to pass that a couple of Germans turn out to be the best guys at doing a sim of America's pastime. Has Markus ever explained how he developed his appreciation for the game?

Well, I played it once (a friend brought a bat and some gloves from a trip to the US) and I loved it immediately. Then I discovered all those stats and the strategy, and loved it even more. Then I discovered there was no fun baseball game on the PC, and coded OOTP. That's the story
