Don Daglow (born circa 1953) is an American video game designer, programmer, and producer. He is best known for his role in the early history of video games, and is credited with many innovations in the field. This includes the first baseball game (Baseball, (1971), one of the first role-playing games (Dungeon, 1975), the first RTS or sim game (Utopia, 1981), and the first graphical MMORPG (Neverwinter Nights, 1991). Many individual elements of the language of video game design are also credited to Daglow, such as the use of a circle beneath a player to indicate the possession of the ball in sports games, first used in Tony La Russa's Ultimate Baseball (1991). He founded Stormfront Studios in 1988, which developed a number of his titles.
