Sad to hear of Archer Maclean's passing. I played hours of IK+ and his snooker/pool games on the ST and still enjoy a spot of Dropzone from time to time.

I just learned that Archer Maclean passed away at the age of 60 on December 24.

He had developed many great games including International Karate + which I loved. I had a lot of fun on the Atari ST version with my brother and my friends 😀

Thanks to him and peace to his soul 🙏

RIP Mr Archer MacLean. Many happy hours playing IK+ and Jimmy Whites on my Amiga. You brought us some great gaming memories. Sad news indeed.

Stunned to wake up to the news of Archer Maclean passing away.

He was one of a handful of legendary programmers back in the early/mid 80s that inspired me to get into this crazy business. “Dropzone” showed the way for super smooth and addictive shoot’em ups on the C64/atari. I played “International Karate” obsessively (the incredible Rob Hubbard soundtrack didn’t hurt).. then “IK+” on the Amiga.. and his snooker & pool games were ridiculously slick and fun.

Some of my fondest memories are of me and my good mate coding away on an Amiga game in the early 90s which was a totally original and inspired idea: IK+ but with FOUR players. We even ripped the fighter sprites from “IK+”. It was called “The Way of the Hubba”… one day I’ll have to see if I can retrieve it.

RIP Archer

No.. proprio oggi, coincidenza, cercavo info. su di lui. Buon viaggio, Archer Maclean 😔

Classe 1962, è stato un programmatore di videogiochi britannico.
Creatore di International Karate e il seguito, IK+, sviluppato per Commodore 64 e portato su altri sistemi. Noto anche per il brillante e inegualgliato gioco di biliardo su Amiga.

I played this game to death back in '90s. A stunning achievement. I'll play a few frames this evening in memory of a legend. R.I.P. Archer Maclean.

Raise a glass of your new Mario-themed novelty wine this Christmas Day in memory of Archer Maclean, who passed away yesterday.

wrote some amazing 8-bit games, including and + and pretty much the best simulation of snooker with Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker.

🥂
