Richard Joseph – R.I.P

Sadly Richard Joseph lost his battle against lung cancer yesterday, he was 53. Some of you may already know of Richard’s massive contribution to videogame music over the past 20 years, but for those of you who don’t here’s a short list of just some of the classic games that he composed the music for was responsible for the in-game music/sound:

• Cannon Fodder
• Sensible World of Soccer (SWOS)
• Wizkid
• Mega-Lo-Mania
• Chaos Engine
• Gods
• Magic Pockets
• Speedball 2
• Evil Genius (as audio director)

Just last year I included Richard Joseph in my favourite game musicians post. It is sad to think that just over a year later he would no longer be with us.
