Game over for Jack Tramiel, another real legend leaves us, and one that deserves tribute for his selfless dedication to what was really his hobby.

He was another industry changer. A true legend and a giant in terms of achievements. He left us with a very important legacy, one that underpins our industry. He also took Atari, which had bottomed out, and gave it life for another decade. His life story also makes for interesting reading.

Thanks for the C64 Jack ...

Maybe someday soon someone will put a book together covering all these often forgotten, industry legends. The people that made what those today build off of. We owe some much to them, we owe them more than a brief footnote on the web, their lives should be celebrated now so they know we appreciate them and what they have done.
