Name:Kevin Flynn
Birthdate:Mar 12




Kevin Flynn (1952-2010) was a gifted computer programmer who, in 1982, created some best-selling video games for ENCOM which included Space Paranoids, Matrix Blaster, Vice Squad, and Lightcycles.

As he developed his games, the code he wrote was stolen by fellow ENCOM programmer Ed Dillinger and Flynn was fired shortly after Dillinger became Executive VP. Later, as the VP of Creative Development, Flynn created Tron - an arcade game based on his experience inside the Computer World alongside the Tron program - and paved the way for ENCOM to become the largest video game company in the world.

Meanwhile, Flynn married Jordan Canas and had a son named Sam. Following his wife's death in 1985, Flynn began to focus all of his efforts on creating "a digital frontier that will reshape the human condition."

In 1989, Flynn was on the verge of new discovery when he disappeared mysteriously and left behind Sam and his fortune. It wasn't until 2010 that Sam got a tip that led him to his father.
