Getting back to your comparison between Thompson and Molyneux, I don't find it accurate. Thompson never offered anything to the community except acting as a lightning rod to galvanize it. Molyneux has, even in the eyes of most of his detractors, offered some excellent quality gaming goodness.
I thought Populous was overrated, but list Dungeon Keeper on my all time favorites list. Theme Park helped launch a great genre. Black and White failed to live up to a lot of the hype, but was still an awesome game in my book.
