When I've read it, I decided I'm going to play at least one game by this guy. And when this shit happens, from now on I'll play games by whoever passed away to honor their memory, even I didn't know them before and never played anything by them. I don't know why. I just want to do it, and if anyone's interested in doing the same, you're free to join me.
1. Get dosbox
2. Get The Witness (1983)
3. Get the manual
4. Start the game, and optionally play this in the background
All I know is that it's a murder-mystery interactive fiction and it was voted "best computer game of the year" by some magazine, which used to amount to something. I'm going in.
Obituary: Game programmer, designer, and interactive fiction author Stu Galley
Celebrated game programmer, designer, and interactive fiction author Stu Galley has passed away.
News of Galley's passing has been circulating on social media, where fans and colleagues have been paying tribute to his life and work.
Galley was perhaps best known for creating some notable interactive fiction titles during his time as a senior game designer at Infocom.
He was the driving force behind popular games like Moonmist, Seastalker, and The Witness, the latter of which won multiple awards including the 'best computer game of the year' accolade from Electronic Games magazine.
When asked whether or not he enjoyed his job in a 1986 interview with Zzap! magazine, Galley responded with a memorable quote that highlights the pioneering work he was doing at the time.
"Yes, yes I do," he replied. "It's funny, it's almost like a dream fulfilled but up until a few years ago, I had no idea that this was what my dream was because I had no examples to go by."
