Taylor-made

Gas Powered Games founder Chris Taylor is a true visionary in the game industry. As the creator of Total Annihilation and Dungeon Siege, Taylor has directly influenced the direction of both real-time strategy and role-playing games. More recently he created Supreme Commander, which is a sort of spiritual successor to Total Annihilation.

Like most great game designers, Taylor has played a ton of games over the years as well, and many of these titles have directly influenced his evolution as a game maker. On the following pages you will find Taylor's own personal list of favorites. It's certainly a unique collection.

In submitting his list, Taylor told us, "First off, my list is chronological, because I feel it's important to share where this all started for me.  And incidentally, this has been a fun list to put together, as it brought back so many great memories."
