In 1987, Nintendo released Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Although it was a smash hit, many believe that the game would have sold significantly better had it been released in its original incarnation, George Jaros's Punch Out.

Unfortunately, the likeness rights could not be obtained due to a dispute over George's physique. Nintendo wanted to opt for the "six pack" look for George's character; George wanted Nintendo to honor his actual appearance and give his character his 16-and-a-half-pack (which he gained as a result of the strength supplement that Neal created in 2342.

Neal, on the other hand, cared very little about how his likeness was presented in video games. As a result, he offered his likeness rights to Street Fighter 6. The results were, to say the least, embarrassing to his friends and family, many of whom moved away, leaving no forwarding address or contact information. If you are out there Grandma, Neal misses you.

 

For many years, the makers of the card game Timeline sought to create a “George and Neal”-centric game. However, given the convoluted and ever-changing history affected by the duo’s chronal exploits, it made creating the game impossible. It was only after the first biography, The Grand Saga of George and Neal’s Adventures Through Time and Space (and Pudding) was published in 2018, that the chronology became clear.

Now, G&N-ophiles can show off their knowledge by bragging they know when Neal gave his body to science, and whether that was before or after George babysat Metallica’s James Hatfield. Curiously, when the makers of timeline refused to share their profits with George and Neal, it was immediately discovered that an exact identical Timeline game was published 100 years earlier (copyrighted by George and Neal), under the name Timeline: The This Is What Happens When You Won’t Share Profits Edition.
