Posted by Zonk on from the go-link-go! dept.

dustrider writes "The latest silver screen to silicon crossover is the Walk of Game, a Walk of Fame style display for the Gaming Industry. You can vote in two categories, "Game/Character" and "Lifetime Achievement", until the end of October. The top four Game/Character and the top two lifetime achievers will be the happy recipients of 24"x24" brushed steel stars at Metreon in SF."

    All very solid nominations. Carmack and Miyamoto are truly giants of the gaming community. The other person that that immediately comes to mind is Sid Meier - Civilization is the gold standard and had an incredible impact on the industry, perhaps more than Sonic, IMHO.

    Since I am now downloading a 61Megabyte "patch" to a PC game (over dialup) in a vain hope that this will make it actually work without crashing every hour, I wouldn't be surprised if console characters get voted higher. Their games actually work and they sell several times as many copies.
