Saw this news break. She lost her battle with lung cancer.
I’ve found out about her recently, she was a BIG part of Mac gaming during the 1990s and 2000s. Aside from being one of the co-founders of Interplay, she was a big champion for Mac gaming being a part of some large project; including the cancelled PowerPC port of Half-Life. I believe she personally bought the MacPlay name after the company who owned it last abandoned the trademark.
I know I played a fair amount of her games on my old Performa 6400/180 and iMac G3 DV SE.
Feel free to share any memories of the games she made if you played them!
