If you want to download this game, be sure to have DOSBox on your computer. Then, go here:
http://www.squakenet.com/computer_games/6768/Hoyle's-Book-of-Games---Volume-1/download.html
And click on "Where to download Hoyle's Book of Games - Volume 1" and it'll give you your options, and if the site requires a sign up. This is how I got my version of the game, though I don't remember which mirror site I used to download it from.
I shouldn't have followed the rules and labeled this as "NSFW", because even though I wanted to make sure it wouldn't get taken down because I used the "F" word, I looked at another site that quickly flashed a man's penis and saw that it didn't have the label attached to it. So, until a mod approves of the changes I made in my attempts to re-edit and submit it as "SFW", if you wouldn't mind labeling it as such too, that'd be nice.
For the longest time, I always thought that guy was Robin Hood, simply because I played this game a lot when I was real young, and couldn't read but could identify things based on whatever image I could relate it to. So whenever I saw that guy, I always thought he was Robin Hood. I actually still thought that when I re-downloaded the game, but was surprised to find out it wasn't. Still though, for my own personal nostalgic kick, I described him as Robin Hood.
Quick run through going from left to right from top to bottom
Zorro; My middle school bus driver; The blonde from "The Toy"; Some guy with a bird drawn on his head in marker; Dog..jfk etc..; black Marilyn Monroe (or maybe Prince); Some dirty jew; A mix between Hitler, Burt Reynolds and a pile of sh*t; Some white guy with a sweet fro (possibly Micheal McDonald); The Masters of Nothing guy; Something dropped off at pools; The old man who touched my penis as a kid; Peg Bundy; Rod SteelRammer gay pron star;
In the game itself, when you're choosing your opponents to play against and you click on them, they each tell you who they are and give some background on themselves. While most of the characters and their backgrounds are fictional, some of them are real Sierra programmers who worked on the game, and probably put themselves in as a gag or something to that effect.
