Sure. Lorraine, Dave Dunn, David Candland, probably a few others I'm forgetting.

: Weird. Reginald came along and made some awesome art for Marathon, others

I'm sure Reg would agree with you about loyalty to the company. That's why he pissed all over it. Robt and Mark came in to clean up the mess, and while you could certainly describe things as different from that point, you could also describe them as better — because Mark and Rob had the talent, work ethic and personality that were solid enough to build a bigger, more ambitious and more capable development team.

Also I believe it was Robt who vetoed DA's request that the second trigger on the SMG turn the player's hand 90 degrees so you could shoot "gangsta-style." For that alone he deserves our thanks and praise.
