Also on the New Year Honours list:
Peter Molyneaux, creator of
Populous,
Black and White and
Fable and pioneer of the "God-game" genre, gets an OBE. According to comments in
the Slashdot thread, he is not the first computer game designer honoured with an OBE; for one, the designer of Creatures got one a while ago.
that should be molyneux no? populous was a great game for it's time.
