There's The Curse of Monkey Island ™ for one... fun game :-) I was soo surprised to see his name in the credits when I beat it.

Can you think of anything besides the names of some of the Terran captains, that appears to have been inspired by OSC's work?
Large parts of it, especially the Spaathi, seem to be inspired by Niven's Tales of Known Space (which include Ringworld).

I'm not sure what specifically was inspired by OSC, I just know that he's listed as an inspiration in the credits in the StarCon II manual.

Wasn't he involved in Loom in some way?
And isn't it The Secret of Monkey Island? It's been years, so I could be misremembering, but that's what I thought it was called.

AFAIK, it's nothing more than the fact that one of the captains on the terran vessels is named Ender.

Also, I heard there was an OSC inspired MMORPG what is it? I think it was based on the Alvin maker series.

It is the Secret of Monkey Island and I believe that he did some in Monkey Island 2 Lechuck's Revenge.
