Everyone can name a Top 25 games list pretty much off the top of their head. Going for the Top 100 as some people chose to do to match EGM and IGN is much more challenging.
However, most people's Top X games are all made by a handful of developers. Trying to expand taste and knowledge beyond the obvious is sometimes not easy to do. In that spirit, let's try to put together a Top 10 developers for each of us.
Here are some simple ground rules to try to keep this apples to apples:
1. Sega is not a developer. Smilebit, AM2, WOW, etc. are developers. The same holds true for Nintendo, Konami, and any other large publishers with many development houses.
2. Developers only should be given credit for games they developed under their organization at the time the game was made. For instance, Treasure should not be given credit for Castlevania IV.
3. Please provide a couple examples of games from your choices to help people who may be interested in finding out more about some of the lesser known houses (e.g. Sonic Team - Sonic, NiGHTS, PSO)
4. Please order your list in ascending order. Start with 1 and go to 10. This way if we want to tabulate a TNL Top 10, it is much easier to do so.
Have at it!
