Legendary Game Designers: Ron Gilbert

Ron Gilbert has a pretty big claim to fame, and not just for designing video games. He is also responsible for one of the most successful and widely used game engines ever created. Hailing from Oregon, Ron has been interested in learning how to program since he was a kid. Growing up, he used his home computer to attempt to replicate popular games released at that time and used his friends as game test guinea pigs. From these humble beginnings, Ron built his gaming career.
