Career

Dyer poses with a Sonic ice cream bar.

Dyer is identified as the individual who leaked the famous Sonic Crackers prototype. He worked in Sega’s marketing department from 1993 to 1996, giving him access to development materials and prototypes. His name even appears in the credits of Knuckles’ Chaotix under “Special Thanks”, indicating his direct involvement during the game’s development.^[1]

Respected prototype dealer Jason Wilson confirmed that Dyer had sold multiple Sega prototypes, including a number of Sonic Crackers cartridges, over the years; this claim is supported by other collectors and community members, who noted Dyer’s history of picking items from Sega’s trash and selling them, including prototypes and mock-ups of unreleased company hardware (such as a Sega Neptune mockup and a prototype Sega Venus handheld). Further first-hand accounts from collectors like Adam Harvey, as well as Dyer’s presence on classic gaming community platforms like IRC, further reinforce his role in leaking the prototype.^[1]^[2]
