Not an easy question, as I can mostly name companies involved, but generally don't know the difference between developer and publisher. Also companies get bought and sold all the time.

Judging by the number of games I enjoyed, Sierra and Lucasarts really stands out, especially for adventure games. I would also mention Westwood, Infogrames and Activision, but I'm possibly forgetting some.

Troika Games: For all their games (3 of them are best in history by all means to me). Those are: Arcanum, ToEE, and VTM: Bloodlines.

Interplay: Solely for M.A.X.2

Blizzard: For Diablo series.

ID: For Doom.

Remedy: For Max Payne.

Action Forms: For '04-'05 best game Vivisector: Beast Within.

3DO: For HOMM, series till the 4th.

People Can Fly: For Painkiller series.

+ a bunch of others that are great too, but I'm too lazy to write down them.

I think interplay is publisher, not developer.

All mentioned games are at least partly developed by Interplay.

Well from the old days were I played the most. SSI, SSG, Mircoprose, Interplay, Westwood,EA was pretty good back then. They just started buying out the other great game makers. Pixal Painters, sure I'm leaving a couple of other good ones out.

Hey this is strange, my posts number has stopped at 40!
