Iron Maiden has also sold computer games in the past
Unlike Icarus that one must've flew under my radar.
Most recently they released a mobile game a few years ago then catapulted that into a world tour that is still a few months from completion.
But Iron Maiden isn't exactly new to games either. They had Ed Hunter in 99 and I seem to recall another one in the early 2000s but kinda hard to google it now - everything comes up lawsuit. They've also got their own pinball table as of last year. They don't exactly shy away from gaming.
3d Realms couldn't have asked for better free press - gamers love an underdog even if the big name they're challenging actually supported gaming.
