/me raises hand :) Maxis games were classic. And quite complementary to Meier's work - the former being very open simulation sandboxes, and the latter more strategic and goal-oriented but with a lot of flex and slack in the rules for the player to experiment with. But they definitely shared a similar spirit: giving the player a box full of building blocks and see what they do with it! :)
