Parody of pop star Boy George of band Culture Club, from resource-management video game Rock Star Ate My Hamster, released in 1988 for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST.
Mostly aimed at the UK market (who would understand that the game's title was a reference to "Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster," a mid-'80s Sun tabloid headline), the game asked players to put together a band; get them instruments, promo, and recording dates; and earn gold discs.
