I found a link to this site and I’m pretty sure these are the people that created the Manhunter series … if so it says that Barry Murry passed away not too long ago.

Yes, Barry Murray did indeed pass away a few years ago. Dave & Dee Dee now have a web design company, together with Barry’s two sons (Mike and … I forgot the name). I sent an email to Mike a few weeks ago, after re-playing both MANHUNTER games and finding myself amazed at how cool they still are. He said he’s flattered that people still enjoy the game, and they’ve often thought about creating a third part and/or remaking the first two. Just imagine, with today’s technology, a third MANHUNTER would be a *disturbing* ride.

(re: re: re: re: Creators of Manhunter?) Manhunter is great! Very creepy and even funny at times. Sad to hear that Barry passed away…
Hope they do make a third game, it would be really great with today’s computers….especially if they stick with the old format and just add graphics! Wouldn’t it be very similar to shivers with a manhunter twist?

(re: re: re: re: Creators of Manhunter?) very sad news to hear of barrys passing :(, and the manhunter games really were very twisted and dark. was always hoping for a 3rd after finding the poster on the side of the tram in the 2nd one, which maybe hinted of a 3rd (london or paris) its been a while since ive played through them both (at least 10 years) might just have to dig them out again 🙂
always thought it would make a cool movie too.. -
(re: re: re: re: re: Why was there never a third game?)
“Here’s something really strange: I double checked that it was the Murrays that produced Manhunter (which it was) but what is a little bizarre is that all the articles I found through Google refer to the Murrays as a trio – Barry, Dave and Dee Dee. Obviously, I knew Dee Dee – but, the honest truth is that I can’t remember her. Darned if I know why. I remember the guys, but can’t remember her at all. Weird.”
I don’t think she was involved in all of the games. I don’t know about Manhunter, but Championship Boxing and all the Ancient Art of War games do not list her in the credits. Probably worked on some of their later games.
