I met him a couple of times and he was friendly, down to earth and a thoroughly nice guy. I originally owned a Spectrum so to get a Commodore 64 and hear the amazing music it could produce was quite something. Ben’s music accompanied the years of me growing up. Wiredworm

RIP Ben. Your music seemed to be everywhere in the Eighties and my particular favourite was Deflektor, I still fire it up just to listen to the title music!

Some of the most creative, original and system limit pushing pieces; I especially valued the style and execution of Ben’s work on Atari ST – 3D Galax, FOFT, Northstar and the brilliant Super Cars series, this music made the gaming experience shine. Greyfox

Sad to hear this news, for my favourite soundtrack I’d choose Krakout – delightfully silly pieces that perfectly captured the mood of a thoroughly fun game. Havantgotaclue
