It was Red Storm Rising and the Hunt For Red October that drew me into Harpoon and the Commodore Amiga just to play those titles. Thank you Tom Clancy and Godspeed to you. I'm certain there's a place for you on Fiddler's Green.

I was a late starter with Tom Clancy, being located where I am ... but it marked me nevertheless.

Thank you, Tom Clancy!

Yes, real sad!...

I saw him a long time ago in NY at a driving range!

Someone should make a video of a gun salute from Ghost recon, that would be nice!...

Eternal Gratitude for Tom Clancy SSN, that is the most instructive game when it come to a simplified tactical operation of a SSN, and I am still playing it since 1996.

Tom Clancy!....Hoo-Yah Tom Clancy!

It's always a sad thing to see someone passing away at a relatively young age (66 isn't definitely old age in present times) and it's even more sad being someone that marked our hobby so much.

Something nice and sad to remember him by as his work will always be alive in our minds!

Be aware, there is some PC games adds in German, before the clip!

Nostalgia!
