So very sad, RIP Archer, he produced so many fantastic games across gens that his memory will live on for a long time, continuing to bring enjoyment to many.

Apparently Archer and Jimmy got on well in real life, they would go out drinking together I have heard.

Sad and sobering news. He was a pioneer and great guy who made some amazing games.
Makes me feel that little bit older and fragile. Let's remember him by firing up those great games and enjoy them. |

RIP far too young. Had a game of Dropzone on XL, Mercury on PSP and Jimmy White on Amiga. Great games that have and will survive.

I had the pleasure of meeting Archer at retro events over the last twenty years, and interviewed him live more than once. He was a genuinely nice guy and an incredibly talented programmer. Rest in peace.
