I first met Jim in the early nineties when he was the Boss of Mindscape. Flanker was a just a dream. A flat green world with nearly no ground objects, just a runway and the tower. But it flew well and when I presented the product to Jim he immediately "locked on" and signed us up. As a one of the more memorable highlights of the development were the three white nights spent with Jim, Igor, Sergei Bezruchkin and myself in the Burgess Hill offices, pushing the very first version out of the door. We took short naps on the floor together under the office desks, ate pizza and drank Coke. We made it on time and on budget. Jim was the man that made us do it and want to do it. He has been that same man for more than twenty years for me. We loved him dearly because he cared so much. He never missed a Flying Legends and never missed a beat. We will miss him, I will miss him...
My deepest respects to his family and loved ones.
