Well, I think you're talking about Hot Rod - a pirate who later turned 
professional software developer.  I definately remember the games.  
Don't get confused with software he "deprotected" and software he wrote, 
however.

I believe Rod's Revenge was one he wrote - a reverse on Sabotage, if I 
don't have the games mixed up.

Anyway, try this on Google:
    	"hot rod" apple -car pirate

He's mentioned in a few tribute pages, from what I can tell.  No names, 
unfortunately...
