Ditto. Though if you mentioned Nobuo Uematsu I would know that guy.
But it's pretty freaking sad OP if your teen years were influenced highly by some dude that made D&D.

A sad day for gamers. Without D&D we might never have had:
Planescape: Torment
Baldur's Gate I - II
Star Wars: KOTOR I - II (used D&D rules)
"Gold Box" games
Neverwinter Nights
plus non-computer D&D of course.

And we could have lived without those titles anyway.

Why ?
The games of D&D I played showed me another world.
It taught me to think about gaming in a whole new way.
This was way before the internet or pc games.
Before Gygax the only games people played with dice were monopoly.
It taught me concepts like map making, working out statistics for characters, and how to write creatively.
The creaters of companies like bioware all attribute it to D&D.
How is any of that sad.

I saw a quote from him the other day: "The new D&D is too rule intensive. It's relegated the Dungeon Master to being an entertainer rather than master of the game. It's done away with the archetypes, focused on nothing but combat and character power, lost the group cooperative aspect, bastardized the class-based system, and resembles a comic-book superheroes game more than a fantasy RPG where a player can play any alignment desired, not just lawful good."
Sounds like his invention got bastardized.
