REally, really sad news... But with internet we should wait to be sure that this is real. I still hope that this is not.

That is sad news...

I always assumed Edgar is in age like us, about 30-40. And he died now because of cancer... oh my god, what a nasty illness. Very sad news.

dlfrsilver 03 April 2015 10:17

from his picture i'd say 40-50. but indeed, RIP to him :(

R.I.P Edgar. I loved Deluxe Galaga and Warblade to bits and backed Warblade MK II. :crying

Edgar was only 51, only 3 months from his 52nd birthday.
Keep playing the games...

Very sad I remember that he was switching to Unity 3D for ease of development. Pretty sad news he wrote good arcades games.
RIP
