I always had great ideas about games (at least I thought they were great :P ), but I'm not a programmer or games developer, so the point is a bit moot. Still, I can understand someone getting excited on what they think is a great idea, although it turns out it's not really easy putting it into a game.
Maybe people like Peter also think ahead of their time with all their ideas, but when the time comes for those to be achievable due to technology progress, those things are not so cool any more, because everyone else can do it. But if his first god game was Black&White, released at the time of Populous.
