The Atari Creep Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 So sad to hear of Curts passing. He was always supportive of my silly channel and was going to trust me enough with some of his stuff to "review" and send back. RIP bro!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKewl Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I am really sad to hear this, he helped me with the Lock-On 2600 and he had such love for this community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbstein Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Didn't see this one coming. Such a great loss to his family and the Atari Community. He was a giant among giants when it came to his passion and knowledge for Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClausB Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Rest in peace, Curt. You were a gentle giant in our small community. I am so glad to have met you last year, and so sad to lose you this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydc Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 WHAT ???!!?!? I...i don't believe it!! No$^*%&* way!!!! He was the "Atari Insider", the head huncho of all thing Atari's...damn, he known more about Atari than even Bushnell himself! I only met him once in a PhillyClassic meeting and we exchange a few emails here and there and he was always so helpful and so dedicated. This is indeed the saddest news i've heard this year. =( So Rest In Peace Curt, we will cherish all the things you did for this community...bless you! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 At last year's VCF East I was honored that Curt allowed me to exhibit the ST-Pad and EST prototypes with my Atari ST bit of the mega Atari exhibit. I only met him a few times, but he was always so personable and his passion for Atari was infectious. I am saddened by his passing and hope the best for his family and friends. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstulir Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I am beyond devastated. I am pleased and proud to have worked with him on the Flashback/Flashback 2 Engineering Team for Atari and his contributions of rare games during the founding days of the American Classic Arcade Museum. He will be missed. Edited August 31, 2020 by mstulir Typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I learned about this a short time ago. Really sad and unexpected news. I had the chance to meet Curt at CGE (2014) and he was a very nice guy. This is a big loss for the retro community. Rest in peace, Curt. You'll be missed. My deepest condolences to his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
