Also:
>>3843041
>>3843164

All of these companies defined their preferred genres, releasing hit after hit: LucasArts for Adventure Games, ID for First Person Shooters, and Rare for platformers/cartoony games.

I guess Team17 was good too.

Rare is only liked by consoletards.

For other platforms you have id, Lucasarts, Westwood, Sierra, Maxis, Bullfrog, Blizzard, Williams, Psygnosis, 21st Century, Rockstar, Bungie, Apogee, Shiny Entertainment, etc...
