RIP Bob Smith

posted on 5-15-2023

We just learned that Bob Smith passed away on May 14. Not only was he a former Atari programmer and one of the co-founders of Imagic, but he was an all-around great guy. Being a long-time friend of the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, Bob presented many panels and had countless fun chats with attendees and enthusiasts. He will be missed!
Here is Bob's panel from 2012 (just one of many he did for us).
GameDeveloper.com did a thoughtful obituary for Bob.
