old lady Settled Boomer Registered: 05/17/06 Posts: 581 Loc: cornwall england	If we had a Hall of Fame for inovative creators of adventure games who would you nominate and why? I'm torn between 3 people but I think my top person would be Roberta Williams. She not only gave us great games but brought humour to our adventuring. _________________________ Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

Darleen03 Adept Boomer Registered: 12/13/03 Posts: 14144 Loc: Northeast NJ	For me ...After careful thought.. It is Benoit Sokal developer of the Syberia games. My second nomination would be William R. Fisher developer of the Last half of darkness games.

old lady Settled Boomer Registered: 05/17/06 Posts: 581 Loc: cornwall england	I wish I had been pulling your leg but no it was pure ignorence I'm afraid Ron.etti. I hang my head in shame. Slightly surprised that no-one has mention Jonathen King for his wonderful photography, strong story lines and ability to make one become totally involved in a scary atmosphere. _________________________ Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some?

old lady Settled Boomer Registered: 05/17/06 Posts: 581 Loc: cornwall england	Hi Becky - Jonathan King made Darkfall 1&2 which were the first realisticlly scary games I played. It may be that he wasn't the first and that I missed others. To me he seemd to be an inovator which is what I was thinking about when I started this thread. The Millers with the sheer beauty of the graphics and landscapes. Sokal, again wonderful graphics and an humanity in people like Hans and Oscar, Roberta with her humor. My thanks go to them all for the hours of fun they have given me. _________________________ Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.
