Jimmy storey oOPle
I'm sure a lot will already know but yesterday we lost a pivotal part of the RC community here in the UK today in the passing of Jimmy Storey.
Im sure a lot of people will only know of him by his site oOPle.com but hid did so much more than just that.
i just want to say a big thankyou to him for what he has done for me and the thousonds of others that enjoy the comunity that he has set up.
You will be missed my firend, God speed Boss.

Re: Jimmy storey oOPle
I loved that game! Might be a silly question, but what did he actually do for RC? If he wrote / programmed Duke Nukem, I'm already impressed.

Re: Jimmy storey oOPle
the Brits probably know him better in person as oOple organised annual races etc afaik plus the websiteRC104ever wrote: I loved that game! Might be a silly question, but what did he actually do for RC? If he wrote / programmed Duke Nukem, I'm already impressed.
yeah in his previous life he was the first Pom hired at Apogee and lived a few years in the States. Was an artist on the Nukem team, supposedly handdrew the exploding fuel drum animation pixel by pixel...

Re: Jimmy storey oOPle
Saddest news in a long time among the RC community. Jimmy was a great creative guy, full of humor and sympathy. I will really miss his reports on oOple! R.I.P. Jimmy, I'll be thinking about you next time I fire up my RC10.
