How close to the original is Colossal Cave 3D? | Ken & Roberta Williams interview pt. 3 

You can tell, even after so many decades, the Williams 'get' what drives story and game design. Loving these interviews!

My thanks SQH for doing this interview. It's so nice to hear from Ken and Roberta Williams, and to see that they still have that creative spark after all these years. I just want to say something slightly personal. My mother sadly passed away many years ago due to cancer, but one of the few things I can vividly recall from way back then was to the two of us playing Sierra "Quest" games. It was kind of a special time for me in the evening because my (then) baby brother would be asleep and my dad was out of the house attending nigh school. My mom and I would sit in front of an Apple IIc with me using a joystick and her at the keyboard. I needed help to get passed some of the time sensitive puzzles because I was something like 9 years-old at the time and couldn't type fast enough. My mother, on the other hand, could type over 60 words a minute! Anyway...Ken and Roberta, if you happen to be reading this, a big thanks to both of you for providing me with anchor of sorts to keep her in my memory.

@6:00 When you mentioned SM I expected you to cut to a clip of Phantasmagoria 2 😉

Loving these interviews, man! Roberta is adorable. Good on you for getting these folks on your channel.

After hearing Ken and Robertas voices again I feel an old part of me is coming back to life. Very exciting times.

3:24 "We're not really adding any more characters than what was in the original adventure, but in order to spice up the world that you see as you go through it and have some interest, we had to add some backstory of who might have been in the cave whenever, and might have done what, and left behind what, and built what, and how would that look?" Rumplestilskin. It's going to be Rumplestiltskin, isn't it. 😅

I’m so gonna buy that !

My goodness I'm hyped to play this game. Thanks for doing the interview!

9:52 "A word is worth a thousand pictures." 😁

Would they ever think of working with Microsoft? If Microsoft is open to letting them use their old IPs?
