Not the flying machine, but the gun from the same set of pictures. The
flying machine could easily have been done just by equipping items like
barrels in odd places. The gun graphic in the inventory appears to be a
game graphic, and not some kind of graphic editing hack. (Obviously, quite
a lot of other things were hacked on the programming side. Bad, evil,
wrong.)

For those of you who missed it the first time, check out
http://n.ethz.ch/student/brunoh/download/poorguy.jpg and other pictures in
the same directory.

I don't expect to ever see it, but just knowing there's a graphic for it in
the game gives me a warm feeling. It would just HAVE to be a tinkered item.
Blunderbuss seemed like a good name for it, even though it's really more of
a pistol.
