You see Tuberski's avatar? That cartoon thing on it makes that sound."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

The programmers there are the most informative and very easy to get along with. They even helped me personaly when I had a prob with a block of AI code that was in the released AvPGE source code.

It's a shame these guys didn't last. They were a great company and listen to new ideas.
Companies that I loathe to no end
Raven
These guys think that nothing is their fault. Whenever someone has a prob with a game of theirs, they flam you then say you need more RAM (yeah, like 2GB of RAM is not enough).
LucasArts
For letting companies like Raven screw up thier games.
Bethesda
Though not as evil as Raven, they do have a MAJOR ego thing. Some of programmers will bite back and even get the mods of their site to perma-ban you.
Monolith/Sierra
Similar to Bethesda, and I did get perma-ban from avpnews.com for not liking AvP2. I guess my reasons were too good.
So as you can see, I came across lots of jerks. It's making me think twice about being a programmer myself. Do I really want to be a total jerk like these guys? I think I would take a course in PR before I go any further, or at least anger managment. I am Irish so that might be a problem.

what about old game developers like Electronic Arts. They put out the Bard's tale series.
edit: not to mention EA is still around and puts out EA sports games like Madden NFL football.Last edited by Dis; December 19, 2002, 00:50.Comment

I thought Tropico was developed by PopTop (or was it GoD?) and AoW was by Triumph Studios.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

No sigames ??
I do kind of like Firaxis..
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

T-Pop (Tropico, Age of Wonders)
Triumph made AOW and AOW2, while PopTop made RT2 and Tropico. All PopTop did for AOW2 was some of the movie work, they didn't actually make the game.
I voted for these guys more because Phil Steinmeyer, who founded PopTop, was the desinger for HOMM2... and AOW1&2 helps too, of course.All syllogisms have three parts.
Therefore this is not a syllogism.Comment

I vote for Enlight Software, just because they are a local outfit.

Sigames are great, they only make one game, but who cares about that when it's the best game ever?If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

Does the company have to make games right now? I'd vote for Microprose UK myself... Mostly because of UFO: Enemy Unknown, actually, but also a lot of other classics...This is Shireroth, and Giant Squid will brutally murder me if I ever remove this link from my signature | In the end it won't be love that saves us, it will be mathematics | So many people have this concept of God the Avenger.

I'd vote for Stella Polaris Development Team, but as it's not a company and not listed, I have to abstain. Well, I agree with Ari about MicroProse and I'd be delighted to vote at them, but as they're not included and Big Huge Games is out too, I have to vote Firaxis. 
But good choice too.
