He first proposed ''VideoGame/SimCity'' in 1986, but the company to which Wright showed it thought the idea was too bizarre and unusual for gaming of the time. It wouldn't be until 1989 that ''VideoGame/SimCity'' would be available to the public, coming from the then newly founded Maxis Studios. |

| 10 | And fun fact: Creator/{{Nintendo}} immortalized him in the SNES version of ''[=SimCity=]'' with Dr. Wright, an advisor character who Nintendo fully owns, and has even appeared in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series in various [[TheCameo cameos]], most notably as an [[AssistCharacter assist trophy]]. |
