The Giant List of Classic Game Programmers

Last Updated August 31, 1998

Please send new information and corrections
to James Hague, jhague@dadgum.com

This is a Who's Who of classic game programmers, where "classic" generally refers to "8-bit" (Apple II, Atari 2600, Atari 800, Commodore 64, etc). I have stuck to "one person, one vision" games, as that is what is most interesting to me, but I eventually decided to include some ports as well. An Atari 800 port of a C64 game is not significant in my opinion, so it is not mentioned (I'm starting to ease up on this harsh view, though). Conversion of a coin-op to the 2600 is more interesting and is included. When a game was released for multiple, similar platforms, I only listed the version the programmer originally developed. Games for modern platforms are mentioned only when the programmer has written at least one classic title. There are a lot more gray areas as well and, I tried to deal with them as best I can.

Please don't hesitate to send comments, corrections, and new information.

Format:

The list is arranged alphabetically by last name. Games written are listed chronologically in the following format:

Title, co-authors (year of release, system, publisher)

Question marks indicate things that I am not 100% sure of. I used them liberally, so as not to propagate incorrect information. Bracketed entries contain biographical notes.

Games may be preceded by the following special codes:

*   Four-star game, using a rather conservative TV Guide style rating
    system (a judgement call, I realize; I may stop doing this).
[P] Programmer only.  Used for games ported from other formats or when
    a game was designed by someone else--implies a lack of creative control.
[D] Designer only.
[B] Game written in BASIC.  Might be interesting, as there is usually a
    quality gap between BASIC games and those written in other languages.
[G] Group effort; the person mentioned had some sort of involvement.
[L] Leader of a group effort; implies more than management.
[T] Type-in program from a magazine.
[N] Non-game software.
[U] Unreleased product.
