   Don't believe this has ever been made public, but the role of the Phantom in point and click adventure Return of the Phantom was played by... Sid Meier.
   The designer of the game told me they offered him the part and, after some convincing, he agreed.
   The make-up took several hours but, apparently, Sid had fun.
