    Unhappy Mike Singleton, Game Designer, Passes Away at 61 Years Old

    Most people probably know him for the game named GRID recently published by Codemasters, but Mike Singleton was a prolific game designer from the 1980's onward. He is responsible for over a dozen games from 1981 through 2008 for both home computers and consoles. He died of natural causes after battling jaw cancer. Please see his Wikipedia page for all that he's developed and his dedication thread started by a former employee of his for a heartfelt goodbye.

    That's sad to hear.

    Obviously not known much in USA, a well known UK programmer. Star Trek on C64/ST was a fantastic game
