I regret to inform the membership that Dave Needle has passed away. RJ Mical announced the sad news on Facebook.
Dave Needle was one of the hardware designers of the Amiga computer, chief hardware designer of the Atari Lynx, and chief hardware designer of the 3DO Multiplayer.
Though I worked near him at NTG/3DO, I never really knew him all that well. The man I did know was brilliant, hard-working, and hilarious, and it was always a joy to spend time around him.
I have an impromptu interview with him that I recorded about a year and a half ago that I never did anything with. It is my intention to share it some day soon.
I will miss him very much.
