Old school Micro Prose- They for the most part made fun, quallity games.

PeriscopeDepth · 06-20-08, 05:55 PM

This is my list of current game companies that impress me:
Matrix
Ageod
Storm Eagle Studios
Lead Pursuit
XSI
Digital Combat Simulator
Tripwire Interactive
Thunder-Works

I know some of them haven't even released a finished product, but they are the only people out there producing "high fidelity" combat fastjet sims.

PD

Tripwire Interactive and Taleworlds are both good at customer communication.

*Edit* Ahh! I'm the second person to up TW!

I think that HPS Simulations deserves mention as one of the better game publishers. Their committment to their products is the reason that I say this. They continue to support & update their games that are in some cases 8-9 years old. They also respond to emails very quickly (often within 24 hours) if you encounter a problem with one of their games.

Any hated companies?:hmm:

I think every Sierra game I bought (old school sierra) had some pretty bad bug issues.

Stealth Hunter · 06-21-08, 02:20 AM

Old Dynamix. Those people made some of the best flight simulators ever, and they were ALL unforgettable. I still play Red Baron 3D to this day, and I'm not planning on retiring any time soon.

The Czech company Illusion Softworks, today called Take2 Czech I think, have been an interesting company. Many of their games are WW 2 era shooters with attention to technical accuracy and good sounds.

Love Bethesda Softworks and PopCap. Won't purchase anything from Obsidian.

Yeah. They also made that great game Mafia, which took THREE YEARS to finish. It was stunning for 2002. What's now even better is that they've announced a Mafia II for current-gen consoles and the PC! Here's a few screenshots of the original game:
