Tremendously sad news for the Gaming industry: Phyllis Opolko, a wonderful woman and possibly the first person I knew in the games industry, passed away a few days ago. I first met her in the late 80s or early 90s, when she was working for Avalon Hill, and I was trying to sneak games [...]

Gerry Anderson passed away, today, according to the Guardian. He was 83 years old. A 1970s Thunderbird 2 Dinky was one of my favorite toys, ever.
