IGN started a series or articles looking at the early days of today's great creators. Thought I like to bring into discussion here.


1) Shinji Mikami: http://games.ign.com/articles/118/1182486p1.html

I'm surprised that his earliest few games are all disney license, with a Goofy game, Aladdin and Roger Rabbit. Before finally rise to fame via Resident Evil. The articles details how his styles of puzzle/maze solving and inventive enemies type already apparent in Goof Troop which transitioned into Resident Evil and future games.
