Ragnar Fyri (12 January 1957–30 May 2011) was the author of the Eamon Master 4, an expanded version of the standard Eamon Master diskette. Fyri, sometimes credited using his online handle Won-Tolla, also authored the standalone text adventure Ula Tor, which he began on the Apple II and later completed on the Amiga.
Interests
Fyri enjoyed computer-based adventure games and starting in the mid-1990s became involved in (and ultimately led) a project to develop a graphic adventure game which he titled The Tillamore Tales, a detective comedy about a young writer named William Tillamore. Though it never progressed beyond the early stages, Fyri posted some details and artwork. Fyri also participated in several MUCKs including FurryMUCK (as a chihuahua named Yip), Toon, Furr and Fluff (as the coyote Huwuda), SpinDizzy (as the squirrel Waydya), and others, and also took part in some play-by-mail games.
Fyri loved programming with Amiga computers and made a number of contributions to Aminet, an archive of noncommercial Amiga files and software. He also enjoyed reading comics like Kevin & Kell, Sabrina, and the Ridderne av Dor series, and authored the web comic strip Adventures in ASCII (2007-2009).
