What the heck? The old Sega games were about Chubby Checker?

Is there a different "Earnest Evans" that the game is based on?

Nah, I think it may just be a coincidence...

I dunno. I never played it. Did the character do a lot of "twisting"? <rim shot>

Maybe he was white and skinnier before he changed his name?
(i.e. this (http://www.abysse.info/ressources/reviews/earnestevans.jpg))
Then again, maybe he's based off this guy? (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txkusa/Cemeteries/stlnafraphoto/EvanEarne.JPG)

The people of Wolf Team (now tri-Ace) are known to make a lot of fruity references, but I doubt this one was intentional. Earnest is a rip-off of Indiana Jones, and that's about it. Later, the same developers did an homage to Earnest Evans with the Star Ocean 2 character Ernest Raviede.
