Of course we also have brilliant people today but it is nearly impossible to create an innovative design *and* implement it single-handedly with outstanding use of the given resources. Back then when everything was still in its infancy it was not only possible but also necessary for exceptional indivuals to emerge.
take care,

Indeed, it makes you wonder if the whole "collective mind" thing, as best exemplified by the Internet, does not mean that the game has changed, where it's not just a handful of geniuses, but a collection of geniuses that will get us to the next milestones. It's almost a form of evolution, where before you had one, now you have many. It's a powerful thing, even if the occasional single genius gets potentially diluted.
Vintage Games book!
