[game_preservation] Designer of Bubble Bobble passed away?

[Andrew Armstrong]

Oh, and this points out a dire need for people who know foreign 
languages, even if they have no interest in preservation other then 
playing games, since I know nothing but English. ;)

I mean, I could sign up to all kinds of foreign sites, but who knows 
what they are saying :)

Should defiantly try and get some academics and people from other 
countries involved. If anyone can persuade people to join the list or 
the IGDA with a free account, that'd be great, since we need to be able 
to research foreign language articles and get translations (And also 
take into account the factors from those places since we're technically 
an international organisation).
