Addio al "papà" di Raid over Moscow, Beach Head, Leaderboard, Tex Murphy...

[Amilcare Barnabeo Salami]

Mi sembra il caso di aprire un topic (non ho trovato nulla in proposito con il "cerca") per segnalare la dipartita di Bruce Carver, il co-fondatore della Access (Raid over Moscow, i Beach Head, i Leaderboard, Links, Tex Murphy... insomma, indiscutibilmente una delle leggende...)

Developer BIO

Carver founded with his brother Roger the Salt Lake City-based Access Software back in 1982. He began to produce titles such as Beach Head 1 and 2 or Raid over Moscow on the C64. In the 90's Access created the Golf Simulation Links and moved on to produce early PC CD-ROM titles such as Under A Killing Moon in 1994.

The company was acquired by Microsoft in 1999. Carver left in 2003 to pursue new interests, including construction and large-screen golf simulation projects.

He died on cancer at the 28 December 2005 at the age of 57. At this time he is survived by his mother Mary, his wife Lenna, three sons, three daughters and 16 grandchildren.

Queste notizie mi mettono malinconia.
Un commiato affettuoso a chi mi ha regalato emozioni di gioventù.

Mi è dispiaciuto molto leggere questa notizia. Ho giocato gran parte dei suoi capolavori e li ricordo tutt'ora con estremo piacere... certamente un genio che se ne va. R.I.P.
