+Stephen Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Very sad news. Even sadder we didn't know and nobody could have reached out to the family somehow or sent flowers to his funeral. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/325116-nukey-shay-kurt-howe-has-died/page/2/#findComment-4908238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 My condolences go out to his family. Nukey’s portfolio of hacks is amazing and he always seemed to do his best to implement suggestions from the community. My favorite of his hacks is Missile Command Arcade with the Track & Field controller support. RIP Nukey and thank you for your contributions to the community. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/325116-nukey-shay-kurt-howe-has-died/page/2/#findComment-4908268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad to hear of Kurt/ Nukey' s death. He would take extended breaks from time to time over the years so it wasn't totally out of character for him to be absent for a while. This time though, it's the worst case scenario 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/325116-nukey-shay-kurt-howe-has-died/page/2/#findComment-4908272 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 When Ballblazer started that thread asking about Nukey Shay I thought to myself it hadn't been that long since I saw a post of his has it. I guess it had been. Rest in peace Kurt. His lifetime achievement award was announced after his death. I wonder if he had already been told. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/325116-nukey-shay-kurt-howe-has-died/page/2/#findComment-4908300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. kwack Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Shocked and saddened by this news. Nukey has been here as long as I can remember and the stuff he could do with Atari games was mind blowing. Always looked forward to his posts. So sorry to hear this. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/325116-nukey-shay-kurt-howe-has-died/page/2/#findComment-4908324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only technically capable, but creative in a way that was useful and desirable.

CapitanClassic Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Very nice guy. A shame we won’t have any more contributions from him to the VCS community. He went out of his way to disassemble Golf (2k) and improve the display kernel for the game. (note: I have 9 more fairways created, but haven’t completed the obstacle placement for those holes yet.) 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/325116-nukey-shay-kurt-howe-has-died/page/2/#findComment-4908380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
