I think you're losing a bit of perspective. Why do you respect someone who wrote a good song more than Philo Farnsworth, Galileo, Euler, Da Vinci, Darwin Newton or Bell? Not having Bohimean Rhapsody or Donkey Kong isn't that big a deal compared to what these men gave us.

I see your point. Those men are were great thinkers but I have more respect for someone who makes me think. Someone like a Jim Morrison or a Pete Townshend or Roger Waters.

Obviously Ken Kutagari.

Jorge Ba-oh

Well we are humans, sentinent, intelligent beings. We are past surivival now, and thus my respect doesn't go to any warriors or etc. Our species is now centralised around culture and science, it defines us. Songs, games, books are all forms of art, which contribute to our culture. It is important to me, because these artists have impacted so greatly on our culture. How come you excluded di vinci from the other artisits?

DARWIN, that was who I was forgetting. And philosophers like Freud and Plato.

All freud ever did was relate eveything back to peoples mothers. I think he caused the birth of the phrase *YOUR MUM!*, Or at least find some way to relate it to how you're secretly sexually attracted to her. Go on, you know you are really.........

Richard Ashcroft
John Lennon
JRR Tolkien
Miyamoto
Spielberg
Tom Hanks

Can't thing of much more at the minute.

As for Robsy if any little white ass fucker fucking made me a slave and treated me like a second rate citizen and came into my country and making the black majority stay in poverty i would bomb the fucking white cunt. This is all coming from a white person. personally i feel embarrassed of White man's actions over history towards all different types of people, personally if there where more people like Mandela the world would be a better place.

Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, Ghandi was a racist, The Dhali Lama finances guerilla movements and Mother Theresa spent most of her charity money setting up new churches to push christianity on the poor, little was actually spent helping them.

Considering the abpve Shigsy is worth respect.

Bruce dickinson- current iron maiden singer.

legend.

I would not include Mother Teresa for what Gastrian said.

Im unsure about Malcolm X. I wouldnt put him above Martin Luther, but he did do a lot thats worthy of respect.

Yeah, Mother Teresa is overated.

Sir Donald Bradman.

A true Aussie legend.... nay, I care little about watching sports, let alone cricket.
I had a feeling you would say 'Ptolemy' though, well for obvious reasons.

Steve Irwin?

Whoever invented sliced bread...

Bob Marley!!!!

who ever invented the pie also.

Just about every person in the gaming industry respects and looks up to him, and dont forget how many peoples lives hes affected just by creating characters/games like mario (originially jumpman) and donkey kong, pikmin, zelda, and a whole host of other games.Also he actually came up with the concept that the designers/artists on the games should have a hand in the technical side of things, as in knowing the system and its capabilities, and not just drawing something up and handing it over to the programmers to handle by themselves.He also came up with another technique on the old jumpman arcade game (because of this he came up with the above reasoning). They wanted some girders placed diagonally, but the system wasnt powerful enough at the time to actually draw diagonal lines, so he came up with the idea, scribbled down on a peice of paper, of drawing a little line, then going down a line, then drawing another little one, a bit like this:--_-(except the height gaps between lines smaller obviously) to give the impression of a diagonal line.)THATS why he should be one of the most respected people of all time.EDIT: dam line thing didnt come out right.( Edited on 05.11.2006 12:34 by Amazingjanet )

Sorry I read perhaps the first line then nothing else. You prove exactly my point. The world doesnt start and finish with the games industry. Other things happen too. Miyamoto is a nobody. Sorry nintendo fanboy/girl youre wrong.Within the industry respected - yes! But outside of the industry and a few geeks who knows who he is? Hmm.

Actually didn't he get some art award in France?

That he did, hes had quite a few honours and awards, look him up on wikipedia. The fact is he helped shape an industry that has entertained millions of people, its like saying steven spielberg or whatever other renowned filmmakers only started and end in the film industry, just because not everyone knows him or isn't a household name doesn't mean he deserves any less respect.

And also I nominate He-man, if it wasn't for him, then we'd all be under skeletors rule now, and for that I am thankful He-man.

Sorry I read perhaps the first line then nothing else. You prove exactly my point. The world doesn't start and finish with the games industry.

The world doesn't end with the Film industry either. Shigsy played a vital role in the evolution and revolutions of the video game industry, and for that he earns my respect. Just as Cervantes earns my respect for his contributions towards the modern novel, or Edgar Allan Poe with starting the crime fiction genre.

=> Naoto Oshima!!!

Well, he needs to be, Yuji Naka takes all the credit. Accidentally of course, they're both legs.

=> Akira Toriyama
=> SON GO COO.
