In my close Argentinian circle I can name the following:

- Ricardo Quesada [1] can name zillions of incredible achievements but you can search on Google. You is the creator of Cocos2D [2] a super successful 2D game engine where many of the implemented games and apps where shown even by Steve Jobs in the time of the iPhone 1.

- Daniel Benmergui: very personal and creative games [3]

- Martin Sebastian Wain: also creative and very personal games and controllers such as Doggy Tug of War [4]

Can name more...

Hey, I also know Daniel Benmergui. He's a cool guy. It's strange that his brother (in tech, but not in games) is such an unlikable weirdo. They are totally unlike each other.

Plot twist: they are the same person, just deciding who to play each morning depending on mood.

To complement:

- Per Aspera [1] is Argentinian, made by Javier Otaegui [2]

- Eterspire [3] is being made by a close friend of mine and his friend here in Buenos Aires.

- I believe the open-source Ogre3D [4] rendering engine used by a few commercial games was originally developed by Matias Goldberg [5] from Mar del Plata
