Who made this game? The thread

[Erik_Twice]

Video games are the only medium where artists struggle with credit and I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread to ask: Who the hell made this game?


All right, here's my question. Who was the head designer (or head designers) of Command and Conquer: Red Alert?

Wikipedia works well for these kind of things.

Good thread.

There's very little info on certain games out there, and it can get confusing if a game is more popular in a region where it wasn't actually developed.

Take Drakkhen - the game was very popular in Japan, but it is Western, correct? I think it may have been developed in France, but I'm not sure. No idea about the sequel.

That's the link for the original game. However, Mobygames seems to know who the lead designers of Red Alert were so it proved very useful nontheless

Design:
Adam P. Isgreen, Michael Lightner, Erik Yeo

Clearly this was General_Norris bringing to our attention that the name of the designer of a pretty cool series was Erik, just like himself.

What if I actually am the designer? DUN DUN DUUUN

I'd say to you "I think that, nostalgically speaking, Red Alert has one of my favorite intros ever. Thanks."

You are welcome, I guess?
