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 originally stuck to "one person, one vision" games, as that is what is most interesting to me, but I eventually decided to include ports as well (though undoubtedly ports carry less weight). 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.

a game was designed by someone else--implies a lack of creative control.

quality gap between BASIC games and those written in other languages.
