...Alan 'Al' Stone passed away on Friday due to cancer. Stone was a game industry veteran, best known as one of the cofounders of Nintendo of America in 1981. He was an integral part of Nintendo's early efforts to distribute its coin-op games in America, among them Radar Scope and Donkey Kong.

Our hearts go out to all those impacted by the passing of Alan Stone. His contributions to the game industry will surely be remembered for years and years to come.
