Wikipedia
"Rebecca Heineman, creator of Bard’s Tale 3, Dragon Wars, has been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma"

It’s time. According to my doctors. All further treatments are pointless. So, please donate so my kids can create a funeral worthy of my keyboard, Pixelbreaker! So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays

My daughter Cynthia Elizabeth heineman, will be making the arrangements

Thought some people here might want to know.

Rebecca kindly ported her best, and also kindly PORTED JACK JACKRABBIT 2 TO MACINTOSH, FOR YOUR SAKES!!!

Be kind, Peace!!!

NOTE, Whoever Tells Clint (LGR) from Youtube about this first will be my next friend!!!

I don't know her nor the games she coded... but I just say that it really sucks. As I had a very close relative who died of cancer in his mid-60s, in only 1.5 year, I can testify this sucks really hard.

My favorite story was about figuring out that SNES DMA registers were considered fast memory, so if you execute code from the DMA registers, it's faster than running from ROM or RAM. That was used to make Out Of This World run faster.

I was not familar with her, so I clicked the Wikipedia link.
Turned out she's gone yesterday.

RIP

I also remember talk about her SNES port of Out Of This World / Another World and remember reading about her when digging into gaming history.

I had several relatives and close acquaintances sentenced by cancer and some that quickly passed away soon after just like this. I guess it's natural but it's not fun.

Rest in peace Heineman.
