I'd like to meet:
Howard Scott Warshaw - The man who developed arguably the best game for the Atari 2600 (Yars Revenge) and indisputably the worst game for the Atari 2600 (E.T. The Extra Terrestrial). Back when he was actively making games for Atari the programmers were for the most part creating the cookie cutter molds that today's games are cut from. The innovation and ingenious efforts he put forth into his work was unparalleled and he never truly received the credit he deserved. If I could accomplish even half as much as he has done so far in his life, I could die a happy man.
