Thierry Levastre, an accomplished and talented graphic designer who worked at Ocean France, Delphine Software and Ubi Soft, passed away suddenly on Thursday 19 February 2026 at the age of 55 from acute pancreatitis.

He was well known for his work on the excellent Pang on ST and Amiga, as well as Cabal, Plotting and Liquid Kids, and later on the immense Flashback and Cruise For A Corpse. His full list of games that he worked on (c/o Moby Games)

68000: Power Without the Price. Crowdfunding from 8-30 June 2024.

A new exciting non-fiction book by Marco Breddin is in the making. This time we travel back to the split of Tramiel and Commodore, follow the founding of the Atari Corporation behind the scenes and explore what made Atari’s ST computer series so special.

We speak exclusively with former Atari employees, a wide range of programmers and artists, and deliver a retrospective 400-page work with fresh thoughts, data, facts and stories about the 68000 computer revolution.

“As one of two expansions to The Flame Wars, the next 68000 anniversary book provides a detailed account of the core competences of Atari's 16/32-bit ecosystem and reconstructs the evolution to market dominance in the 1980s. The competition for the only 68000 system characterised this home computer era like nothing else. We will turn back the clock, breathe in the golden silicon era and report first-hand as to what happened in the Atari labs before and after CES 1984.”
