Theresa Duncan, a game designer who went on to make films, committed suicide last week. Her death has touched many in the industry, even though her more recent interests had more to do with culture on a broader scale.

Harold Goldberg talks about her most famous game in a way most of us would like our work remembered:

Chop Suey wasn't just a kid's game. It was new and different, magical and hip, a game from Duncan's Magnet Interactive that is now considered a classic. And don't tell me that kid's games can't be classic games unless you've played Chop Suey.

Duncan left behind a long-term partner who was last seen entering the surf and hasn't been heard from since. A shame.
