So, out of a choice between two designers, you picked... neither. Then mentioned two other entire developers that have completely different types of games. Hm.
PS. The theme from F-15 II. Flashback total.

If you like empire-building games it is great. The cities you build have RPGish qualities to them in that you "level" them up as you go, and you can hold large-scale wars and annihilate other nations as well.

I dont think Sid Meier was involved with Call to Power or CTP 2.

It's cheaper on Steam, plus it runs native on Steam anyway (Mac App store version also seems a bit unstable). Wait a few days and it might get even cheaper due to the holidays sale until the 2nd.

These are the kids who wonder why they get F's when they decide to 'freeflow' an essay for school and write about Tupac when the essay is about either Calvin Coolidge or FDR. Haha

Sid.
No idea as to a total, but I played Civ 2 from 1999 until 4 came out, installing it at least once a year. Played a shit load of 4 and 5 too.

Sim City 2000 and The Sims stole many hours.
Don't think I have ever played a Sid Meier game.

I love Civilization and Pirates, but I gotta go with Wright on this one. 90s era MAXIS was a golden age unto itself for experimental game design. I mean, I loved SimFarm for crying out loud.

Messed around with Sim City for a few hours, and never played Civ etc.

I want to say Sid but it's actually Will. So much hours in Sim City 3000.

Sid and Will are so great, that they get credit in this thread for games they didn't even design!!!

I sunk a lot of hours into Civ 4, but I couldn't count how much time I've spent with The Sims. Will Wright wins.
Wright, I have put far more hours into Sim games then any of the Meier games. All though out Middle School, it was just Sim game after Sim game. Sim Ant, Sim Copter, Sim Farm, Sim City 2000, the Sims, the Sims for Consoles, Sim Earth, and a bunch of other Sim games that weren't that good. Biggest reason is that the public Library had some PC games, and the bulk of things worth playing were Sim Titles (And that after you installed the game, you didn't need the CD)
Will Wright by a small margin.
I've played the Sims for about 5 hours before. Only put about an hour into Civ. Haven't played any of their other games.
The real winner however is Masahiro Sakurai. So many hours into Smash Bros/Melee, not to mention a bit of Kirby here and there.

Just isolated to these two? No contest. Sid Meier by a gigantic margin. Pirates!, Alpha Centauri, Civ. <3

Gotta go with Sid. From Pirates! on the NES to Pirates on the PC (2004). I still can't get enough of that game. I have played Sim City and Sim City on the SNES is the only one I can get into. All the other ones got too much going on in them. Been thinking of picking up Sim City 4 for a while now but after playing Sim City 2000 it just didn't grab my attention like the SNES version.
So:
Sid 2 - NES and PC (2004) Pirates!
Wright 1 - Sim City SNES
