Bill Williams (May 29, 1960 – May 28, 1998) was an American game designer, programmer, and author. Williams' games for the Atari 8-bit computers and Commodore Amiga are admired for their unique and imaginative design concepts, beautiful graphics, innovative sound and music, and skillful implementation. He left games to attend the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 )〕 Williams died from cystic fibrosis in 1998, at the age of 37. ==Game Design== Bill Williams' first published game was ''Salmon Run'' for the Atari 8-bit computers, published by Atari Program Exchange in 1982. He then authored two titles for Synapse Software: ''Necromancer'' and ''Alley Cat''. ''Alley Cat'' was begun by another programmer, John Harris,〔http://www.dadgum.com/halcyon/BOOK/HARRIS.HTM〕 who abandoned the project. He then moved to the Amiga, designing and programming ''Mind Walker'', ''Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon'', ''Pioneer Plague'', and ''Knights of the Crystallion''. ''Pioneer Plague'' was notable as the first Amiga game to make full use of Hold-And-Modify mode for the in-game graphics. Near the end of his game development career he wrote ''Monopoly'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System and ''Bart's Nightmare'' for Super NES. Williams was disappointed with the way the last game turned out, calling it "Bill's Nightmare". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bill Williams (game designer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
