who was/is your favorite game publisher of yesteryear that now no longer makes games? (Ex: LJN, Acclaim, Williams, etc.)

for me, it is Data East. They made a plethora of hits for the NES console: Karate Champ, Heavy Barrel, Burgertime, Bad Dudes, Sly Spy, RoboCop, Bump 'n' Jump, and Ring King.

I can only think of Delphine Software, if only because they created Flashback.

Troika, they knew how to give you the keys to the universe, except for that Vampire fiasco.

Sega, who as far as I'm concerned have not existed since about five minutes after "Rez" was released. laugh.gif

Black Isle. The Infinity engine, and the games it house, were a work of art.

And Icey, if you don't count Bloodlines, then you must be basing Troika solely on Arcanum, as Temple of Elemental Evil was a load of shit. Don't get me wrong, Arcanum is brilliant(and oddly enough what I'm currently playing), but it seems a little odd to choose them as a favourite developer for a single game.

Mostly chose them because it was founded by key members of the Fallout franchise. *Sigh* but that is an excellent point.

Aw, I was going to say Sega.

Well, I guess the next one after that would be Legend Entertainment, makers of Eric the Unready.

Or for that matter, Infocom. I never really got into the Zork games, but they were historic.
