I grew up with all his games in the 1970s!

Colossal Fossil Fight was my favorite!

Knock his block off!   I loved that game as a yute.

Same here...   talk about a heck of a way to vent off.   I think I eventually busted those buttons.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Udo Kier, Familiar Movie Villain and Fixture of the Offbeat, Dies at 81



Udo Kier, a child of wartime Germany who stumbled into acting in his 20s, then leveraged his steely Teutonic air and outsider magnetism into a six-decade career comprising roles in more than 280 movies, from an X-rated Andy Warhol horror film to an Arnold Schwarzenegger action feature, died on Sunday in Palm Springs, Calif. He was 81.

His death was confirmed by his management company, Richard Schwartz Management. No cause was given.

With looks that bore a passing resemblance to Terence Stamp, the British acting heartthrob of the 1960s, Mr. Kier had ice-blue eyes that, in service of villainous roles, could look as menacing as a shark’s. He often gravitated to transgressive fare, whether produced by Mr. Warhol or directed by the boundary-pushing Italian filmmaker Dario Argento.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, actor who performed in 'Mortal Kombat,' has died at 75



Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, a Tokyo-born actor known for his roles in the film "Mortal Kombat" and TV series "The Man in the High Castle" has died. He was 75.

Tagawa died surrounded by his family in Santa Barbara from complications due to a stroke, his manager, Margie Weiner, confirmed on Thursday.

"Cary was a rare soul: generous, thoughtful, and endlessly committed to his craft," she said in an email. "His loss is immeasurable. My heart is with his family, friends, and all who loved him."
