Rebecca Heineman belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Rebecca Heineman as American video game programmer (1963–2025).
Rebecca Heineman was born at Whittier in 1963. His recorded nationality is the United States.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
The record gives his occupations as programmer, professional gamer and video game developer.
His affiliations include Interplay Entertainment, Avalon Hill and Time Warner Interactive.
Among his principal works are Tass Times in Tonetown, The Bard's Tale and The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
His work was formally recognised with the Game Developers Choice Award - Ambassador.
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Rebecca Heineman died in 2025 at the age of 62. The work outlived the arguments around it.
