What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness? (reddthat.com)

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?"

Westwood studios. Command and conquer tiberian sun was my very first computer game, which I loved dearly (and still have on my computer since it’s freeware now and has been fan patched for modern systems)

Well and then came EA.

    Yup, it’s Freeware since a few years now and has even spawned a brilliant standalone mod using its engine. Here is the link:

    And if you want to check out the mod I mentioned, it’s called twisted insurrection. It delivers on many things that were lacking in the original, and has an extensive OST with some pieces by frank klepacki himself (made a lot of the music used in the original series). You can check out some trailers on YouTube. Mod Link:
