[game_preservation] Computer Legend and Gaming Pioneer Jack Tramiel Dies at Age 83

[Andrew Armstrong]

I wasn't going to write a full obituary (I don't know enough about the 
man myself, I seem to have more UK knowledge now :) ), probably find one 
someone else has written and ask to borrow it or just link to it. I 
don't know anyone myself who'd be able to write one up.
