We're sad to report that Team17 co-founder Martyn Brown has passed away. He was 57.

Brown helped establish the veteran British publisher in 1990 following the merger of 17-Bit Software and Swedish developer Team 7. Brown led Team17 alongside Michael Robinson, Debbie Bestwick, Andreas Tadic, Rico Holmes and Peter Tuleby.

He oversaw the company's glory years as a developer, producing Amiga hits such as Alien Breed, Body Blows, Superfrog, Project X and Worms – the latter of which is arguably Team17's most famous IP.
