I've been using Dosbox for aaaaaaages now, but one question has been bugging me for the longest time ... does anybody know who the character is in the Dosbox logo ? The one interlocking his fingers ...

Also, if you could tell me what video game he's from that would be EXCELLENT.

Thanks guys !! 😀

!?!?! Mister Sinister !?!?!

I know who it is, but I'll be a sadist and give you only a clue instead:

The graphics on the DOSBox home page are from the DOS game "Dune II", which spawned the Warcraft/Starcraft/etc. style of RTS games.

Not a Fremen. Let me give you another hint: he won't need a Casio pocket calculator.

Aw, eL_PuSHeR, youu shouldn't have given it away...

The proper term is "mentat", BTW. In the books, the guy's name way "Pitr de Vries". Not sure if this is the same one.
