    I think Konami should be on the list because Konami made tons of great games and Capcom should never be taken off.

    I would say SNK but they longer exist, but their character designs were too damn good, very classic, Electronic Arts, Square, Enix, Treasure should be on that list too
    Games, games and more games

    Definitely add Electronic Arts to the list. Plus, Technos got left out too. Any company that brings us the adventures of Riki Kunio (River City Ransom, Nekketsu sports), is a swell company indeed.

    I'm not sure if you mean companies that are still around or not, but if you're just asking for the companies that made the games that I've enjoyed the most in my lifetime then this would be my list. Its not in order, that would be too difficult.

    First there's the obvious;

    Atari - No explanation needed
    Activision
    Nintendo
    Sega
    Williams - Stargate is my Digital God

    And then there's some which you might not find on everybody elses list

    Infocom - Text adventures; Planetfall, Zork, etc...
    Universal - Mr Do, Ladybug & others
    Penguin Games / Polarware - Old Apple II & C64 game company
    LucasArts
    Sir-Tech - Wizardry!
    Origin - Ultima!
    Sierra On-Line (Notice the "On-Line" part)
    The "Pre" EA Sports Electronic Arts - Bard's Tale

    defanantly add Lucasarts to the list. Monkey island games, Grim Fantango, Maniac Mansion series, Sam and Max, etc.
    Somebody once told me to get a life.

    I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.
