David and Richard Darling, the founding duo behind long-running British development house Codemasters were recently named Commanders of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition for their contributions to the gaming industry. Codemasters has been developing games and accessories for more than two decades. Included among their accomplishments is the creation of the Game Genie as well as the widely beloved Sensible Soccer series. The honor is part of a hierarchy of official honorary titles, which includes the more familiar "knighting." Though that honor is one rank above what the Darling brothers received, theirs is still a rare and impressive accomplishment. Other notable Commanders of the Order of the British Empire include the world's most famous living naturalist David Attenborough, and the latest version of Batman's butler Alfred, Michael Caine.
