There’s an interview from (February?) 1997 where an interviewer (Natasha Soliel) asks George about a video game (starts around 5:00). They both seem high, so I think the interviewer was talking about the MixMan CD (1997), or less likely, the video of George in “Prince Interactive” (1994), taken from a Prince documentary. I think George thought she was asking about the Outkast track “Synthesizer” (1998), since he starts to quote his lyrics on it. I doubt they were talking about George’s appearance as “The Funktipus” in _Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas_, since that wasn’t released until 2004.

Now, I wasn’t going to create a post on this alone since George seemed pretty out of it. However, in a Fall 1998 Juxtapoz Magazine article on Pedro Bell, at the very end is a mention of him working on a video game.

> Pedro Bell busted into public consciousness in 1973 as the artist who visualized the ass-shaking, mind-expanding sounds of George Clinton and P-Funk....

> He’s also in the process of writing six books, two screenplays, creating a video game and raising his son Derek, illuminatingly nicknamed Irate, Jr.

Pedro seemed to have some thoughts on video games, talking about computers, the Commodore 64 and Mortal Kombat in a [November 1996 interview in New Funk Times](https://web.archive.org/web/20061123224234/http://www.newfunktimes.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=72), and talks about computers in the [1989 Motorbooty magazine interview](https://pfunkforums.com/t/p-funk-articles-from-motorbooty-magazine-1989) posted on this site.

Since these interviews are from around the same time, this feels like more than just a coincidence. Does anyone know anything about a P-Funk or Pedro Bell video game?
