Fukio "MTJ" Mitsuji, one of the greatest game designers I've ever seen, who worked for famous "Bubble Bobble", "Rainbow Islands" and etc passed away in 11 Dec 2008. According to SMS Power his heart and lung stopped then he lost consciousness for a while due to a kidney trouble.
He produced many memorial and pioneering games in his life time. The news is a very sad tragedy for the old game fans so I post this video included on "Taito Legends"(available on PC, PS2 and Xbox360) to praise him.
He doesn't know who I'm and where I'm from of course but he was the greatest creator and the most memorial person for the kids of 80s and 90s in the world. If you played at least one of his games when you were a lad you would understand what I mean.
I profess no religion and don't believe the lives after death but hope his soul would rest in peace.

R.I.P. Mr Mitsuji, you gave the world perhaps it's greatest coop coinop ever made in Bubble Bobble. You are definitely missed in this day and age of video games.
