I thought it was made by Tantrum or something like that.  Actually there are like four companies' splash screens for that game aren't there?

Mobygames and Wikipedia list Treyarch as the developer and Tantrum (along with Interplay, which Tantrum was a part of) as a publisher. Plus the credited project leads were from Treyarch, so I'm pretty sure Treyarch was the developer.

Publishers almost always get top billing. It's been like that forever. It also sucks.

Perhaps, but again, Tantrum was a part of Interplay, a publishing powerhouse at the time. If Tantrum was the developer, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't need Treyarch at all.

I avoid this thread for a single reason:

I actually miss EA. When it exclusively made pc games that is.

I understand that. Most people will remember the publisher name, which is not always the developer.

I really liked Ultrabots.

Publisher : developer :: restaurant : chef

The majority of gamers don't know who the chef is.  All they know is, they trust in the restaurant's reputation.  The restaurant risks its reputation with every single chef they hire, and really... unless that chef wants to open their own entire restaurant, they are not going anywhere on their own.

They could always distribute their food digita- oh wait.

Oh man, I miss Sierra so much.

It burns my crevasse just to think about it.

That's actually a decently sized business nowadays, at least the selling is. Actual distribution is physical, o'course, but th'rest of it's digital. Mostly with baked goods, but the business is there.

I miss *squeezing* the *juice*.

[Siquo]

Oh god, Looking Glass. System Shock 1 kicked so much ass in its day.

no love for Cavedog games? Those guys were pioneers in the world of RTS. Many of their ideas were ripped off years afterwards by their competitors.

There've been at least two mentions of them previously.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Apart from many of the mentioned companies, Cavedog especially, I sort of miss SoftWARWare. I don't believe they ever made anything other than their one game, Remember Tomorrow, but I frequently wish they'd burst out of their grave with a sequel.

[Cecilff2]

And yet no other mentions of Free Radical Design.  Creators of the last MP shooter that was actually fun.

They still exist, as a "vassalized" studio (crytek bought them).
