So a buddy of mine used to play NCAA Division I football, and it occured to me that he's got a video game rendition of himself, albeit from the late 90's, out there in the wild. And that got me thinking...how would it be to play as a character that is actually someone's interpretation of you and your skills?
Any CAGs appear in a game? It doesn't have to be limited to sports games...
And you gotta think that a lot of Pro Athletes play as themselves in games all the time...that has to be surreal.

Cinemaware games. The art department incorporated everybody in the company at one point or another.

That's the only one I could think of. He's a guy in the crowd on this level -

I don't follow or play NCAA games, but I remember reading that part of the deal was they couldn't actually use players' likeness because it was a commercial venture. Is that true?

The way around that was to just have the number of the player and attributes.

I'll be in the crowd in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 this fall -- wearing long-sleeved green with my stripey facial hair.
If it counts, I also did one line of VO for SVR 09 and was in a batch of screenshots for Tony Hawk's Underground as one of the first people to have their faces scanned into the game (for a GI cover story).
