If you grew up gaming in the '80s and early '90s, then the names Tim and Geoff Follin will no doubt be familiar to you.

The siblings crafted some of the finest video game soundtracks of the era, making relatively humble audio hardware perform some seriously catchy and engaging tunes. Their credits include The New Zealand Story (NES), Terminator 2 (NES), Spot: The Video Game (Game Boy), Solstice II (NES), Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge (SNES), Plok (SNES) and Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (SNES).

In a message posted on Facebook by his brother Tim, it was revealed that Geoff succumbed to pancreatic cancer earlier this week – he was only diagnosed on the 7th of May.
