Pretty surprised not to see Shigeru Miyamoto here. XD

If I may suggest another one, how about David Crane? Dude's founder of the first third-party company ever and made many influential games between the Atari consoles and the NES such as Pitfall, Grand Prix, Little Computer People and A Boy And His Blob.
Normally I would add this but I made this list only for directors but i can add one exception
Well, for what is worth he was indeed the director of many of those games. Back in the day, the whole game (direction, programming, graphics, everything) was made by only 1 or 2 people. XD
AMAZING list, by the way!
tnx mate :D
