How many animators are posting/lurking on here?

Hey Gang,
I was at a fellow animator buddy's house helping him setup Hyperspin last weekend, and when I was gazed up at his collection of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace cells on his wall, while talking about arcadecontrols.com forum it occurred to me just how much I was influenced by video games growing up. Which made me wonder how many other retro gaming obsessed animators are on here? And besides the Don Bluth animated Laser disc games, what other retro games inspired you to get into animation?

Besides animated films and the Don Bluth games, the ones that stuck out in my mind in terms of animation quality has mostly come out of the 16-bit era of gaming.
Earthworm Jim, Aladdin, Lion King all for the snes (I had the pleasure of working with the original animators of those games a few years ago -- great guys. It was a trip to have that opportunity) ...prior to that, Street Fighter II, and Prince of Persia have influenced me a lot.
SFII for it's strong posing and impact, PoP for it's realism and weight.

I haven't. I wonder if I can track them down, would be interesting to see how the rotoscoped animations compare to the real footage.
