Steve Bak RIP

4th April 1952 - 6th February 2019

A legendary programmer who wrote many games for Microdeal.
He went on to work with the Atari ST & Amiga (and probably other platforms).

Nice article on Gamasutra.

I remember playing `Cuthbert Goes Walkabout' on the Dragon as a youngster and thinking what an unusual name `Bak' was?

Little did I know I'd one day find myself on the same dev team as Steve making games for a living.

He was a man of many talents. I still have a small wooden clock he made for my wife one Christmas.
