+LS650 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I saw this sad news just now. You may recognize Lance J. Lewis from Alien Vs Predator or his face from Space War 2000. He worked for Atari QA during the Jaguar years. Fellow community, i have very sad news to share with you today on January 18, 2018... Lance J. Lewis, a man best known for testing and playing almost every single Atari Jaguar games has unfortunately passed away for uknown reasons not yet discovered. He also worked on the The 3DO Company and other companies but for many of us, he will be remembered as the Colonial Marine in Alien Vs. Predator for the Jaguar. Our deepest condolences goes to his family and friends who are saddened by his loss... Rest in peace Lance, you'll not be forgotten. Fly high great Marine... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Thompson Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Learned about his passing early this morning as well, very sad news. The guy seemed super cool and I will always have his face burned into my memory thanks to Space War as will the picture of him in Atari's basement rocking out on the bass guitar forever remain in memory. Some really cool interviews to remember the guy by: http://www.ataritimes.com/index.php?ArticleIDX=499 http://gooddealgames.com/interviews/int_Lance_Lewis.html Edited January 18, 2018 by Clint Thompson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yak Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Aw man just passing by and saw this. I used to hang out with Lance a lot when I was at Atari. Top guy, had some great times driving round in his jeep and partying. Some of my best memories with Atari test, and whenever I think of Atari test I always think of him. RIP Lance mate . 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Wasn't it his voice used in AvP as well? Now I need to say it through again. I always thought the voice actor was the guy who did Wolverine for the 90s Fox X-Men cartoon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
