Epic (Mega)Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney has been inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. He (which is to say, the Unreal Engine) was introduced by coworker and friend Mark Rein. You can view the ceremony here: the Epic Games section starts at about 1:10, and the requisite Jazz Jackrabbit footage is at 1:19:25. ZZT and Jill of the Jungle get a lot more attention, but to be fair, ZZT’s community has quite a few years on our own.
With Tim, Mark, and Cliffy such deservedly important figures in gaming today, it seems only right to take a moment to remember who they’ll always be to us:

It would be awesome if Tim actually had a collection of socks sent to him by Jazz2 players since the release of the game
