Disagree on almost all of them. Shigeru Miyamoto obviously deserves to be there, but... David Crane? Gunpei Yokoi? John Romero? Archer MacLean? f*cking really? Satoshi Tajiri should have been included in the top ten, and I see John Carmack didn't even get an honorable mention, despite being the grandfather of one of the most popular current genres of console games. Hideo Kojima probably should also have been in the top ten, along with perhaps Jeff Minter, who's been an inspiration for independents for as long as I can remember. Most of their top ten list is bullshit.

This is basically a top-ten early 80's Atari developer list, with a couple others thrown in to broaden the scope.

Learn to read you dumbf*cks

it says DESIGNERS

not DEVELOPERS.

That's why Carmack isn't there.

and, I think Kojima and Meiers should be there.

Speak for yourself!

So the only thing that really matters in game design history is what was done in the 2600's heyday and Nintendo franchises?  *yawn*

what cracks me up is how Howard Warshaw is on the list, despite being the designer of ET, which is the hipster retrogaming 1337sauce worst game ever that 80-90% of haters have never actually played.


How is he on the list, but Kojima just gets an honorable mention?

Metal Gear is one of the longest running game series still around that hasn't gone retarded.

In terms of game creator who is up their in my eyes? Why call it design?
Game design is not a real job, and being a person who controls the content of a game should be game creation in general. Calling it game design, just takes the fun out of it.

1. Hudson Soft/RED- for taking taking the idea of the PCE and doing it.
Bee card system, and even all the Hu62 love?

2. Gameboy Creator - Okay I can't hate the guy saved Nintendo

3. Rareware- saved Nintendo, Perfect Dark, Conker, and early Nintendo games, like Battle Toads, and some other Isometric, 3d games.

4. Pokemon- Saved Nintendo. Between Pokemon, the animation, FFVII,
and Super Mario RPG. These three games are the reason why RPG games
was most prolific in the west during the late 1990's. Before that everything was DAD, King Author, Robin Hood, and Conan.

5. Beyond Good and Evil ( Rayman creator ). Actually made a game I can play over and over and still feel happy. Rayman II was auwsome, in it's might and the new rayman game looks promising. ( if It was on the cube I would buy it.  BG&E has a special place in my heart.

6. NEC for helping make the PCE and the Dreamcast.

7. Kojima ( before Metal Gear Solid ). Also held the record for porting to all systems current. Gave you a reason to buy all game systems, or at least most.

8. Capcom Resident Evil Shinji Makima. Megaman, Street Fighter etc.
Shinji Makima made a promise and Capcom broke it. He is a coperate slave now???

9. DeJap ( translators ). The reason why I started to import.
Or Tri-Ace AKA Wolf Team, AKA Telegames employees. I heard about how Namco made Shin Mega Tensi was really the Telegame employees.
ATLUS and Techno as well. These are alot of mix ups in this thing here.

10. Falcom ( Y's, Sorcerain, )

Their are a lot of others but these come to mind when I think about creative content that takes everybody by the neck.
