Brian Reynolds is a well known computer game designer, formerly of Microprose and Firaxis Games. He now runs his own game development company, Big Huge Games and is the chairman of the International Game Developers Association.

Unknown to many, Sid Meier's Civilization II, Sid Meier's Colonization and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri were primarily his designs, not Sid Meier's. These games, however, borrow from Sid's original Civilization.

Reynolds latest game is Rise of Nations, a real-time strategy game, published by Microsoft. Rise of Nations was Reynolds' first game under Big Huge Games. His next project is .

He was a gamer in high school--and a sysop on Randolph School's (Huntsville, Alabama) PDP-11 mainframe.

Reynolds briefly pursued graduate studies in Philosophy at U.C. Berkeley.
