Just heard this from someone who knew him well. Died a week or so ago of cancer, aged 57. He only found out days before he died apparently.

Fuck!
Him and Roger's stuff was partly responsible for me jacking in my Spectrum back in the day.

Beach Head single handedly opened my eyes to how wonderful computers could be.
RIP Bruce and thanks.

RIP Bruce. BeachHead was one of the better games I've played, it's a pity what they did for the sequels (PC and Arcade).

Same thing here. The Beach Head C64 cassette version was the first game I actually bought with my own money. Bought it based on the screenshots alone and the game really delivered. First game with a distinct WOW-factor for me.
RIP mate.
