This is a list of people whose work in adventure games I admire. I may add more people and more info about them in the future.
Tim Schafer
Just the best of them all, showing how you can evolve the genre without diluting it. Sadly, when he was starting to show the world what he is capable of, Lucas Adventures folded.
Brian Moriarti
From Infocom, through Lucas creating a wonderful and still not surpassed mythic tale with Loom. His career is just awesome.Ron Gilbert
The guy behind SCUMM (with Aric?), Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island. Licensed SCUMM to create Adventures for children. He has been "underground" for some time, it seems that he is coming back to mainstream.Jane Jensen
The best writer-creator of computer games. The creator of the best series: GK. Each game is a model in a style of game. Has a couple of good mainstream novels. Next year, a new series will start!
Rafael Latiegui
From Igor to world-wide success with Runaway. A model career in gaming, never compromising his principles. Though his games are well-known he is not.Hall of Shame of Adventure:
Doom's copycats: They are in the hundreds ...
