根據2026年4月初的最新消息，中村清治社長已於近日辭世，享壽84歲。這一消息在遊戲界及玩家群體中引起廣泛關注與哀悼。

中村清治是Lost Script的靈魂人物，早在PC-88 時代便投身遊戲產業，親手創立了公司。Lost Script 以其獨特的「遊戲書（Gamebook）」風格和硬派文字冒險遊戲，在美少女遊戲市場中占有重要地位。作為日本遊戲界公認的「最高齡現役玩家」，即便步入八十高齡，中村仍保持對新遊戲的高度熱情。

他的硬核愛好更是令人稱道。即使在 82 歲時，他仍深度遊玩硬派生存射擊遊戲《浩劫殺機 2》（S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2），並幽默地抱怨遊戲字幕對老年玩家而言過小。晚年，他還重溫了經典成人遊戲《蘭斯 4》（Rance IV），並真心讚嘆女主角「希露果然是最可愛的」，這段言論在玩家圈中廣為流傳。

逝世消息最早由日本作家稻庭淳於 2026 年 4 月 1 日前後確認。多年來，中村展現出「玩到生命最後一刻」的純粹熱愛，許多玩家在社群媒體上哀悼，稱他是真正貫徹「遊戲人生」的傳奇，並以「老兵不死，只是逐漸凋零」來致敬這位業界長輩。中村社長的離去象徵著日本早期電腦遊戲開發時代的一個縮影正式落幕，但他那份不論年歲、始終對遊戲世界保持好奇與熱愛的精神，將長久地留存在玩家心中。

According to the latest news from early April 2026, Seiji Nakamura, the president of Lost Script, has passed away at the age of 84. The announcement has resonated widely within the gaming industry and among players, eliciting heartfelt tributes.

Nakamura was the driving force behind Lost Script, having entered the gaming industry during the early PC-88 era and personally founding the company. Lost Script gained recognition in the bishōjo game market for its unique “gamebook” style and hardcore text-based adventure games. Renowned as Japan’s “oldest active gamer,” Nakamura maintained a deep passion for new games well into his eighties.

His dedication to gaming remained remarkably hardcore. At the age of 82, he was still deeply engaged in playing the survival shooter S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, joking about how the subtitles were too small for older players. In his later years, he revisited the classic adult game Rance IV and fondly remarked that the heroine “Cillia is truly the cutest,” a comment that became widely shared and celebrated within the player community.

The news of his passing was first confirmed around April 1, 2026, by Jun Inaniwa. Over the years, Nakamura embodied a philosophy of “gaming until the very last moment of life,” earning admiration from fans who honored him as a true legend of the “gaming life,” often saying, “Old soldiers never die; they just gradually fade away.”

The passing of Nakamura marks the symbolic end of Japan’s early era of computer game development. Yet, his enduring curiosity and love for the gaming world, regardless of age, will remain a lasting inspiration in the hearts of players.
