In Memoriam - Donald Charles Emry

 Hi folks,

It's been 3 and a half months now since the last i have posted something and i am coming back with an awful news. Donald Charles Emry or Don Emry has passed away on November 22, 2020. Just about one month ago as i have discovered this bad news just 3 hours ago when writing this post.

 
For those who doesn't know who was Don, he's the guy who did the last four Magnavox Odyssey games in 1973, which was : 
 
 



These are the best designed boxes in the entire legacy Odyssey library, don't you think folks ? There was also 4 others games he started some work but these were never finished. Only one of the unfinished games is now known: Ski Festival - only the overlay is known to exist and was supposed to be bundled with "Ski" for the Odyssey "Deluxe model". 

So all my condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of Donald...Our thoughts and prayers are with you Don!
