I was thinking about how I remember Maxis fondly, and I got to wondering what other people's experiences were like!

Is your favorite still around? Are they still the same, or did they "change directions under new management?"

Origin "We create worlds". They definitely did with the Wing Commander series. Played a lot of WC 3, 4 as well as Privateer.

I don't think anyone mentioned Lionhead Studios. Black and White was fun. Sadly it's in copyright limbo if I'm not mistaken.

Also played a lot of Civilization 1 from Microprose back in the day.

My favourite games from childhood were the Ultima series (3 onward).

Never tried any of the Ultima series. :p

Never finished most of the Ultima Games. Started U4 again a few years ago. Tried picking it back up, and I've misplaced that damn balloon again.
