    A bit surprised I'm the only one who's picked Ken Williams or John Romero, after all these guys played a really big role in the development of computer games.

      Editing … I don't know who they are tbh. I've always been too busy playing games to read up on who made them lol :D Back in the day I used to read a lot of gaming magazines so I know a few Amiga game developers and of course everybody with the internet knows Miyamoto, Sakaguchi, Kojima etc. Beyond that though I'm clueless.

      Editing … Ken Williams is the man behind Sierra Online, he and his wife Roberta basically invented the adventure genre. And John Romero is a legend! He's the man who created Wolfenstein and Doom! The man behind the infamous "John Romero is going to make you his bitch"-advert for Daikatana. (Which, apparently he had nothing to do with and it was just his PR guy, wasn't me honest guv).

      Editing … I know Sierra of course, I don't mind a few of their games. Maybe I should add John Romero into my list, where would I be today without my FPS's?!

      Editing … I wrote an email to Ken Williams once, basically telling him how Sierra was the best thing since sliced bread, and he even took the time to respond. What can I say, a true gent.

      Editing … That's pretty cool that he replied, it's nice to know people actually read them and don't just delete it or throw your letter in the bin.

      Editing … Well PC gaming isn't really big on this site especially old school PC gaming. I know who Romero is, but i've never heard of Mr. Williams.

      Editing … I know Roberta Williams because she undressed for the cover of "Softporn Adventure" … (which is apparently too tittillating for FL?) http://www.mobygames.com/game/softporn-adventure

      Editing … lol, yeah I read about that too. Heck, if Madonna and Marilyn can do that sort of thing in their "I was young and needed the money"-days, then so can the queen of adventure gaming. :)
