"Roberta and Ken Williams are back. After 25 years out of the video game
industry, the legendary founders of Sierra On-Line are working on a new project
with an old twist – they’re rebuilding the classic text-based game
Colossal
Cave Adventure as a 3D experience with a VR component.
Maybe that’s an old project with a new twist, but regardless,
Colossal Cave 3D
Adventure is a complete reimagining of the original title and it’s due to come
out this fall for PC and Quest 2 VR headsets. Not only will this new
interpretation add graphics to the text adventure, but it’ll be in first-person
3D, with details filled in by the minds that brought us
King’s Quest and
Phantasmagoria.
In traditional Williams fashion, Ken is in charge of the code as chief
engineer, while Roberta is creative director, building the narrative and
working across all aspects of the project. There are 16 people on their team at
Cygnus Entertainment and they’ve all worked together remotely through the
COVID-19 pandemic."

love a visit to my very first steps into the caves ;-)"
