Endorsements aren"t really the same thing - there's billions of those.

Is my memory playing tricks with me, or does Mikhail Gorbachev pop up in one of the Street Fighter IIs?
Either him or a very, very close imitation anyway. Must be a cut-scene related to Zangief.

does Mikhail Gorbachev pop up in one of the Street Fighter IIs?

He and Reagan are both in Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Nobody mentioned the video, the game came much later so its Gorbachev.

Violet Berlin is in Micro Machines 2.

Bruce Willis feature in his own game, Apocalypse now on the PS1.

I loved that game.

Vin Diesel was cool in Chronicles of Riddick Escapce From Butcher Bay. Was better than the film (Pitch Black was awesome though). Never played The Wheelman though but heard good things.

Willis game was just called Apocalypse surely?

Would have got their asses sued off otherwise

I'd love a copy of that, but it always seems to go for silly money*





*NB "Silly money" for me is a lot less than "silly money" for some!

Just thought of another one, Christopher Lloyd, Doc Brown from Back To The Future.

He featured in Toonstuck, that point and click adventure game on the PC.

He also voiced himself in the back to the future game recently released by telltale.

And yes Michael Jackson was in space channel 5 volume 2 as space Michael!

Rik mayal did the voice over in hogs of war as well
