Microprose-Civilization, X-com, Pirates

Interplay- Fallout,Publisher: baulder's gate, mdk, and descent

Flying glass studio- System Shock, and Thief.

DON'T SAY SUCH THINGS.

Was Viva Pinata bad? It looks good but I've never played it. Also Banjo Threeie should be as good as the originals.

Yeah, Viva just wasn't my thing but I liked the art style. As for Threeie, I'm holding my breath. I'm just saying that Rare made amazing games during the N64, started dragging ass on Gamecube then just gave up. I've heard mixed things about Kameo and Perfect dark.

They made C&C that is it. :(.

they made the CnC Series, which is easily one of the greatest game series out there:

- Command and Conquer

- Command and Conquer: Covert Ops

- Command and Conquer Sole Survivor

- Command and Conquer: Red Alert

- Command and Conquer: Red Alert Counterstrike

- Command and Conquer: Red Alert Aftermath

- Command and Conquer Tiberium Sun

- Command and Conquer Tiberium Sun Firestorm

- Command and Conquer Red Alert 2

- Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge

not to mention the PS1 and N64 ports of several CnC games

They sucked on gamecube. I actually enjoyed pdz, more then star fox adventure. It was one of the most disappoitning games ever made.

You forgot Working Design and Acclaim. For what you have on the list, I'd have to say it's a toss up between Psygnosis and Interplay.

And Interplay created the 3d rts genre. Microprose createdthe strategy genre(civ and x-com)and sandbox genre(pirates), and looking glass created one of the best fps, and stealth games ever(thief, and System Shock). Psygnosis popularized the racing genre(wipeout), andcreated the first rts game ever made (lemmings). I consider these develoeprs a little higher thne a one trick pony.

i never denied what the other studios did, i think theyre fantastic, but you cant deny the influence Dune and CnC had on the strategy genre after their release. Westwood was certainly not a one trick pony and created a great series. sry if i come off a little ****

Acclaim was my favorite dev. They made some of the best games for N64 including some of the best FPS games on the system.

Looking Glass Studios, with Ion Storm as my close second. They are what I call flawed greatness.

Damn, I voted for the legendary Looking Glass Studios instead of the godly Black Isle Studios (listed under Interplay, I'd assume).

Oh well, they're both great. Troika and Origin also deserve a mention.

Bitmap Brothers if they count as a studio. And if they count as dead. Speedball 2 on Amiga was awesome.

Without a doubt, Interplay was one of my favorite dead publishers. As to developers... hmm. I'll have to get back on you on that one.

Agreed, although Capcom still owns the rights to Viewtiful Joe if I'm correct.
