Yup, looks like it. I was playing with a freebie cover CD on the latest issue 
of Personal Computer World (an excellent UK PC magazine) and their 
PCW-Interactive thingy had a couple of movies from Rocket Science. One
was about Rocket Science, another was a 'trailer' for "Loadstar" (I think that
was what it was called). In the opening credits there was a mention of one
Brian Moriarty. I remember being struck by that name when I saw it and
wondered then (last night actually!!!) if it was the same one. The preview
itself looked quite good, but seemed to be your usual cut scene/action 
sequence thing because the long intro (which was very well put together
by the way) stopped just at a point when a 'move the joystick left or right' 
bit looked about to start.
