This must be a gamer from my time. So many developers that I love or used to.

Also, growing old Konami was my favourite developer (Castlevania Series, Contra Series,  Gradius and other shooter series, Turtles Series, you name it - lasted to the beginning of the 64 era, until, as someone pointed already, they jumped the shark), followed by Tecmo (Ninja Gaiden and Rygar). Then N EAD, Enix (namely for Actraiser) and the ones named above.
