We all know the Miyamoto's, CliffyB's, Molyneaux's and so on, but who was the first celebrity developer that you remember playing and knowing the person attached to that game? Note that this isn't necessarilly asking if you played Mario or Unreal Tournament first since you could play those and not realize Miyamoto or CliffyB had a hand in those.
The first celebrity developer I remember is Roberta Williams and Sierra. I always remember she's the lady that did the King's Quest games and her picture was always featured with the boxes on pretty much all Sierra games.
