Sierra?  They may be a shadow of their former selves, but they've put out some of the best video games of all time.  King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, Leisure Suit Larry, Gabriel Knight, Homeworld, Police Quest, You Don't Know Jack?  Or . . . 

HALF LIFE!!!

You can't be serious.

I didn't see the nomination thread.  :-\  Acclaim should have been on that list (do defunct companies count?)

That was nice - thanks!  :-)   Although I notice now LJN is up there and that was pretty much Acclaim's "work-around-Nintendo's-5-game-per-year-rule" division.   But I think they had a few games on their own before Acclaim so it's 50/50.  But whatever...
