Sad news indeed. I have known Bert and his work for so long, since before I even first joined Boomers ...
He was such a fluent, meticulous writer. His WT's are legendary and so beautiful. More importantly he was kind behind the scenes, always a loving and enthusiastic supporter of Adventure Games, their fans and developers.
I miss him. But I am so glad that I got to enjoy his work and his passion for the games for as long as I did.
Prayers and love to his many friends and his dear family.

My sympathy's also as another of what I consider one of the true adventure legends that wasn't a game maker has moved on. Makes one wonder what this passion of ours would have been like without the Bert Jamins of our world. Adventure Games are dying...literally. I Salute you Bert Jamin its been a wild ride.

Thanks Mikael
I remember his site very well and I almost forgot about the old Adventure Games Coalition.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I used his walkthroughs many times and really appreciate his hard work. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
