No, I've never seen it or heard of it.  (His name was Arthur Byron Cover,
BTW.)  And yes, they were very strange, but I sort of liked them.  In some
ways they ever sort of resembled the Hitchhiker's Guide series (although I'm
not comparing PF and SF to HHGG as far as quality).  What I thought was
interesting was the fact that they took place AFTER the games, showing us
what might have happened to Oliver, Blather, and Homer (the player's
character).
