Just found this video. I shot all the videos of Rick in this tribute and this brings back so many great memories of him.. Rick was such an amazing person, the world is a sadder place without him.
@nakoomba It's too bad that he didn't live to see technology catch up to his vision. I would love to see a modern remake of Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny, or the other games he worked on.
Great and touching video! People often overlook computer artists, but in my opinion, they are equal to animated movie artists! They are truly gifted especially Rick Parks. R.I.P
lands of lore 3 i dont like much (for lucky its another story,not with hero Luter) but i play now again,here in 2010 after 14 years,at "guardians of destiny"...this wonderfull RPG maybe is the best thanks to Rick!!!
Everyone associated with Westwood should feel damn proud that they were able to dedicate such an amazing and flawless game to his memory. I don't know if Parks saw the final finish of GoD, but he and his forever raised the standard for adventure RPGs.
Rick died of complications of leukemia, and yes he died way to young. He was only 46 y.o. and up until the disease, he was always so full of life. He is sorely missed by all who knew him

Mich hat dieser Nachruf auf Rick Parks damals vor 25 Jahren schon sehr berührt.
Danke das ich ihn jetzt immer wieder anschauen darf.
Musik und Szenen treiben mir die Tränenen in die Augen.

I love this short but haunting music piece.
And unfortunately it's purpose, to commemorate a death, is all to real to me today as I write this.

I thought Westwood is still runing under a different name. But I can be wrong about that.

pethrolygy

Petrology are specialises in the construction of welded steel and PE pipeline systems.
Are you sure? I've just search it up.

petroglyph is the name.

Westwood is pretty much dead (bought out by EA), and EA has all their licensed properties (Lands of Lore included) in a stranglehold.

What a waste, if EA don't do anything with it. The Westwood games I know are from a high quality.

Was it ever revealed what he died of?
And yes, the world lost a fountain of beauty the day he died. But the same can be said of the day Westwood died.
WESTWOOD IS DEAD! LONG LIVE WESTWOOD!
