Lawson died in 2011, but that same year he was recognized by the International Game Developers Association as an industry trailblazer for his contributions to gaming. His achievements have also been memorialized at the World Video Game Hall of Fame in New York, Google said. "We would like to thank Google for working with us to share our father's story in this Doodle," Lawson's children said."May his story continue to inspire numerous young people around the globe to achieve something remarkable."
