Shadow(Sdw) has passed away

Anyone has a count of how many platforms he covered?
From a quick count from his pouet contributions I'd say around 24 - 25 platforms. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

I counted 28 on Pouët (the ones listed as "Wild" are for a few different platforms), but I could be wrong, my eyes are still sore. He also did a slideshow for the Luxor ABC 806 which hasn't been added here yet, and he coded some effects for the same machine that we were going to turn into a demo later this year.
He did some other releases that also aren't on this site yet, I'd say he covered over 30 platforms.
Over 30?! Apparently there was no machine that he couldn't tame. It's also worth noting that even on the more conventional demo platform of the C64, his demoparts totally rocked. I'm going to miss his presence on the scene a lot. Again, my condolences to all who were close to him.
Also, some of his releases that are on Pouët don't have credits yet, so they're not listed on his profile. I've added credits to two of his Plastic releases, one for the PSP and one for the GP32
G*P will not be the same without him :-(
RIP sdw, may you count 8bit CPU cycles in heaven.

Aye, the king of platforms, indeed. :'(

Why so early...?

Oh man :( RIP
May you rest, in platforms. Condolences to those close to him.
Rest in peace, Sdw. Thank you for your great work.
My condolences to the family. I never met him, but I read his code, so as a coder to coder, it feels like I knew him well. I don't care much for the number of platforms, but he also had a good eye for what works and what doesn't, so his demos always looked good, whatever platform he used.
