Bill Williams (May 29, 1960 – May 28, 1998) was an American video game designer, programmer, composer, and author born with cystic fibrosis, an incurable genetic disorder. According to a medical encyclopedia Williams consulted when he was 12, people with cystic fibrosis weren't expected to live past the age of 13. Late in his career he worked on a licensed title for the Nintendo Entertainment System and another for the Super NES, but became frustrated with the game business and left to attend the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and write two theological works.

  • Bill Williams (May 29, 1960 – May 28, 1998) was an American video game designer, programmer, composer, and author born with cystic fibrosis, an incurable genetic disorder. According to a medical encyclopedia Williams consulted when he was 12, people with cystic fibrosis weren't expected to live past the age of 13. Williams created a string of computer games from 1982 through 1990 for the Atari 8-bit family and then the Amiga which are admired for their imaginative design concepts, innovative sound and music, and skillful implementation. Necromancer is a three-stage game about a wizard growing and controlling an army of trees. Scenarios in Alley Cat include stealthily drinking from the bowls of sleeping dogs, avoiding a sweeping broom to jump inside a fish bowl, and collecting ferns atop a bookcase protected by spiders. Mind Walker, one of the first games released for the Amiga, places the player inside the head of a physics professor gone mad. Late in his career he worked on a licensed title for the Nintendo Entertainment System and another for the Super NES, but became frustrated with the game business and left to attend the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and write two theological works. Williams died from cystic fibrosis in 1998, at the age of 37. (en)
  • Bill Williams (1960 - 1998) est un game designer et un programmeur de jeux vidéo de nationalité américaine. Ses jeux, qu'il a pour la plupart développés seul, sont appréciés pour leur concept, leurs graphismes et leur technologie avancée : The Pioneer Plague est, sur ce point, le premier jeu Amiga 500 à utiliser le mode graphique Hold-and-Modify durant les phases de jeu. Il a arrêté son métier en 1992 pour étudier au séminaire à Chicago et obtint l'année suivante un master degree de théologie. Il est décédé en 1998 des suites d'une mucoviscidose. Si on se souvient de lui surtout pour ses jeux vidéo, il a aussi publié un ouvrage théologique : Naked Before God: The Return of a Broken Disciple (ISBN 0-8192-1878-2). (fr)
  • Bill Williams (Pontiac, 29 maggio 1960 – Rockport, 28 maggio 1998) è stato un autore di videogiochi e programmatore statunitense. Nel 1982 pubblicò il suo primo videogioco, , per il computer Atari a 8-bit. Successivamente realizzò due progetti per la : (1982) e Alley Cat (1983, probabilmente il suo lavoro più celebre). In seguito passò alla Amiga, dove pubblicò titoli quali (1986), Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon (1987), (1988) e (1990). Verso la fine della sua carriera videoludica scrisse la versione del Monopoly per il Nintendo Entertainment System e Bart's Nightmare per Super Nintendo: mentre stava progettando il gioco del celebre personaggio dei Simpson, a seguito delle continue intromissioni dell'azienda produttrice (la Acclaim Entertainment) decise di ritirarsi dal mondo dei videogiochi. Negli ultimi anni della sua vita frequentò la Scuola luterana di Teologia a Chicago. Sofferente di fibrosi cistica, patologia che lo avrebbe portato rapidamente alla morte, pochi giorni prima di perire diede alle stampe il libro Naked Before God: The Return of a Broken Disciple, nel quale si autodescriveva come un discepolo di Cristo intento a capire le sue lotte con la malattia e il messaggio di Gesù.
