I'm really disappointed by the lack of pre 1990 companies some of the guys are putting in. Really shows the lack of true gamers on this site Bungie / Rockstar? What the hell they wouldnt even be in my top 50! Compared to the likes of Konami who over the last 30 years have produced some of the most classic titles ever and Namco / Ocean Software / Atari. Bungie wouldnt be there at all. All they have done is made a decent FPS from a genre that already existed the better comapnies have made classics that changed the way we look at videogames. Oh well...

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
