Carlos Eduardo Murrer Gomes: CEMG Apps
When I was a kid my father worked developing games for ATARI in Brasil and we had almost all ATARI Games. I started playing Kaboom! for Atari when I was 3 years old, we had also a different joystick for it and this was the game I loved to play when I was a kid, maybe the first video game I’ve played in my life”

James Whitehead: Boss Baddie
No game has inspired me as much as this one. Most of my inspiration comes from sound and music, and as a 7 year old when I found this rummaging through my parents bedroom, it blew my mind when I first played it.

Ten Questions with Aaron Hunter of Playtechtonics
I started games as a kid with an Apple 2e computer. I began learning programming languages before high school and kept up with it as a personal hobby since then. I’ve worked for a number of large game developers including Microsoft, Acclaim, and others.
Read MoreThe Story of First Star Origins: How Bad Economic Design Can Ruin a Good Game
Players still enjoyed the game for a month or so. The more hardcore players kept playing for as long as three or four months. But the novelty soon wore off and the game lost purpose. Economic design played a major role in this. A serious lack of content, updates, quests, and other features also played major roles.

Martin Cirulis: Kerberos Productions
Quick, dirty, elegant, funny and straight to the point. Distilled essence of 4X with Cowboy speech events AND multiplayer network support LONG before that was cool.

What is your favorite Puzzle Game?
I love puzzle games, they are so memorizing! Some of my favorites are Tetris (PC), Peggle (PC) and Hexic (Xbox) and if it’s referred to as a puzzle game – The Last guy (on PS3), others that require more brain power I love are: BrainAge and Rhythm Heaven (on the DS). Not only are these games addictive, but I love the catchy theme music of Hexic, The Last guy and who wouldn’t love to be cheered on after winning a level with Peggle? (Love rainbows, unicorns and fireworks!)

Ben Bradley: Ben Bradley
This was a blend of real time strategy and first person shooters – it took the two most popular genres on the PC at the time and combined them in their entirety. Add to that an amazing outdoor graphics engine and a story which was so clever I almost believed in it myself.

Motivational Monday: Sex Scenes
I don’t know what happens if you screw up like if you snap her bra or something. I really think they should add that. If you mess up she gets mad and wants to leave and you have to convince her to stay and start all over. If you screw up to many times she leaves and that’s it, or you get a crying while masturbating in the shower mini-game.

Mark Sheeky: Cornutopia
The best games combine action and strategy and my other favorites Airborne Ranger of Project Stealth Fighter on the C64 did that brilliantly, as well as Frontier Elite 2 on the Amiga. Oh and I can’t help but mention the brilliant Nethack on PC too!

Commercial Wars: Best use of Mario Bros – Japanese edition
If you thought Birdo was weird before this commercial from Japan will not make things better. Honestly, they makes things worse. Funny thing is there is an ongoing debate as to whether Birdo is a guy who dresses like a girl or a girl. My question is do you really want to know the answer. Unfortunately, I don’t have the translation for what Birdo said, but man watching him, her, it push that egg out of its snout was just disturbing.

Alan Wild: Focus Multimedia Limited
What. A. Game. An RPG and a work of art that was way ahead of its time in terms of graphics, engine, combat and character interaction. I installed the crazy number of floppy disks it arrived on, one after the other, and three days later I remember the intense satisfaction as I finished the final quest and completed the game.

Aileen Bautista: Dinoroar Interactive
My fondest memory was catching Carmen Sandiego, feeling all awesome that I caught the bad guy. For an educational game at that time, it definitely didn’t seem like it. I was having too much fun trying to capture suspects and travelling around the world.
