Is it one of the Japanese legends, eg:
Shigeru Miyamoto- mario, zelda, donkey kong
Yugi Naka- Sonic, Nights (YAY!), Samba de Amigo
Yu Suzuki- Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, Sega Rally
Hideo Kojima- MGS, MGS2

Or maybe a western great:
Carmack- Doom (Daikatana.... hmmmm)
Trip Hawkins
The man in charge of Elixir?!?!
The Darling brothers at Codemasters


Your choice of 3... mine are:
Miyamoto, Naka and Carmack

glad to see this old topic come back out!

I agree that shigsy Miyamoto has the most classics and have revolutionised and pushesd the industry the most. Every game he make is pure genius (with only a few exceprions).

The reason i prefer sega's people (Yu Suzuki, and Yugi Naka), is because they are sooo diverse. For example, Mario and Zelda have the same style. But yu suzuki makes games ranging from Virtua Fighter, to Sega rally, to Shenmue and Daytona (all sooo different). Another thing about Yu is that he really pushes hardware (shenmue) and being a budding programmer, I love that in games. Yu Suzuki is anothere fav because his games NEVER frustrate. They are simple, yet sooo good. Ever been stuck on a puzzle on zelda- yes- ever been stuck on sonic- no. Ultimately, the zelda puzzle is more rewarding, but when relaxing i find yugi's games so much easier to play.

Er...Games Designer....

It would have to be the guy who invented Harvest Moon, I mean it must be fun at a party with him there I mean he sounds like such a comic, I think he should have his own show! - Seriously, well Half Seriously, he could be some raving lunatic who thought it up as part of his plans for world domination!

Miyamoto (i think thats how its spelt) has made more classics than anyone else (except me). NOTHING can compete with Mario and Zelda.

I think vai's missed the point a bit.

I say Shigsy anyway... Zelda and Mario have nothing in their league.
