Also the creator of the absolutely splendiferous Adventure Game Studio, Chris is a supra-intelligent, very nice and extremely helpful individual, who appears to have absolute no ego; pop into #ags on quakenet for a chance to talk to him, as he visits often.
It should be made clear that Access Software's Chris and the AGS Chris are two completely different people, despite the fact that they have both contributed a lot to the adventure game community, in one way or another.
