Ed Annunziata
Edward Ettore "Ed" Annunziata is best known for the Ecco the Dolphin series, [Kolibri (video game)|Kolibri] for the Sega 32X and as the voice of "Greg" in the Sega Saturn game Three Dirty Dwarves.
Annunziata joined Sega in the early 1990s, where he was the lead designer on Ecco the Dolphin. The game departed from typical Genesis games by featuring a sentient dolphin protagonist on a quest to reunite with his pod after an alien abduction.
Later he served as an executive producer for Nokia's N-Gage mobile phone and gaming device, helping create nearly a dozen multiplayer titles for the platform. One of them, Smallball Baseball, was one of the first microtransactions-based games targeting the US market. In 2006, he founded Twofish, Inc. with Lee Crawford and Sean Ryan.
