Fellow Sierra fans!

Weโ€™ve got a very, very special episode of the Point & Click Adventurers Podcast on Monday (30th January) at 4pm UK time!

We interviewed none other than the incredible Ken & Roberta Williams and chatted to them about their new game , the adventure games and much more!

This was an experience Iโ€™ll never forget, speaking to two people who shaped the genre I love and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!

Roberta Williams and I go all the way back to King's Quest V, and her games have given me countless hours of enjoymentโ€”so I had to get on launch day...

Initial thoughts, one hour in:
- wow these dwarves really don't want me to be in here
- oof they are attacking me
- why did they make me kill one
- i should just go find a nice tree to eat this ham under

To celebrate the release of the new 3D/VR commercial version of Colossal Cave I present to you with the fact that EIGHT years ago a mainframe text adventure game was rediscovered that predated the original version of Colossal Cave, yet just about every article since then still mentioned Adventure as the very first interactive fiction game.

There's a review of up on PCGamer, which unfortunately gives it a low score of 55 (though it is not the only one to have do so). Interestingly, Ken Williams himself commented on it.
