You may not have heard of the Game Doctor, but Bill Kunkel was kind of a big deal. He co-founded the first ever video games magazine back in 1981 ("Electronic Games") and wrote for several of the other big American mags over the last 30 years. As well as writing, he also lectured on game design and was Editor-in-Chief over at Running With Scissors.In a
post on the site, Vince Desi asks "If you’ve ever played a video game, read about a video game or took for granted your freedom to do so then please look up and introduce yourself to Bill and give him a nod. Bill was a low key guy who always remembered his friends and considered himself a gamer and fan above all else."
Take a minute out of your day and raise your mug of tea to one of the good guys.
