Retro Studios programmer Mark Haigh-Hutchinson died yesterday afternoon after a long battle battle with pancreatic cancer.
Haigh-Hutchinson's latest (and arguably most famous) work was on Retro's Metroid Prime series, where he worked as a senior engineer.
His resumé reads like a list of some of my favorite games of all time: from classics like Paperboy to highly-underrated niche titles like Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Haigh-Hutchinson's work has been seen by almost every gamer at one time or another.
Haigh-Hutchinson is survived by a wife and two daughters and will be greatly missed by many industry veterans.
