Ron Gilbert: Creator of Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion and the SCUMM engine

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 try to replicate popular games released at the time, using his friends as test subjects. From these humble beginnings, Ron built his gaming career.
