Aparently Ric Green lives out in Vegas and still has a pretty good attitude about the game. He popped into Retro Game City in east Vegas and extensively autographed-up a copy of Greendog. Seems like a nice guy tbh.

"Surf Trip The Board Game"...
You all know newspapers.com (a.k.a. "greedy basterds") ...
