What's your favorite game company of all time?

I really like Hewson and Mastertronic.

- System 3 & Thalamus for technical excellence

- Ocean for technical excellence as well, war-atmosphere and love/hate relationship to certain games :)

- Rainbow Arts for Turrican I&II

- Microprose for simulations

- Cosmi for early horror/gore games

- Phantom software for the weirdest martial arts game ever (Phantom Karate Devils)

I'd seen Andy around on Lemon forums a few times and he ended up asking for my c.v. sent it and he said they were waiting for some contracts to be sorted then he'd probably have some work for me (GBA stuff). Not heard anything since or seen him on Lemon. I think they've got a PS2 game nearing final so he's probably just busy.

Quote: Undoubtable System 3 are the kings of making games for the C64, just take a look at these classics if you weren't impressed yet:

International Karate
IK+
The Last Ninja 1, 2, Remix, 3
Dominator
Myth - Hystory in the making
Flimbo's Quest
Tusker
Turbo Charge

Also, Thalamus (and especially APEX) are worth being mentioned.



Probably off topic but there's something that hit me about the game Tusker. There were some sound effects created for the game by Maniacs of Noise, but those SFX never was featured in the game, as I could not get the SFX option in the C64 game. Just Matt Gray's awesome music.

Origin
Lucasfilm

Both did more than most people remember at once.
Origin Games (mostly) had an incredible depth - not "just" the amazing ultima series.

Cinemaware and Microprose.
(Both had their best moments on Amiga/PC, so if we cut the choice down to C64 titles only: Accolade and Activision.)
