[game_preservation] Game developers memorial page?

[Captain Commando]

Yeah, it might be a good idea to consider dividing the memorials into
categories: say 'developers' and 'players' as two categories. I had
suggested earlier that we should have a memorial for Bobby Fischer, who
passed on only a few weeks ago. I also felt we should add people like Ron
Knerr and other non-videogame designers who have been very influential in
the games we play.

Right now, though, it's probably best to just get some material up as an
example of how we think other memorials should be written.
