I'd certainly be interested to hear which graphics and characters within the game he designed.
I think most locally and on oOple are still in shock at the news. I'm sure collectively we'll find a fitting tribute to celebrate him.

I think this is a small Bio from Jimmy's time with Moby Games.

It won't be a comprehensive list, but some very big games on this part of his CV. Like RC racing, the Games Industry is a very close community - if we don't know each other directly, we could be sure our colleagues, or colleagues/colleagues knew everyone else.
His loss to RC is huge - his loss to the GI is as big. Think of these games alone, and you'll see that they wouldn't be what they are without him.
Sometimes it's only when we lose a light, we see how dark the world is without it.
Jimmy - you've left your light shining, and I hope it burns bright for many many years to come.
