''Colossal Cave Adventure'' (also known as ''ADVENT'', ''Colossal Cave'', or ''Adventure'')〔Crowther, 1976; Crowther & Woods, 1977.〕 is one of the earliest computer adventure games. The original version was designed by Will Crowther, a programmer and caving enthusiast who based the layout on part of the Mammoth Cave system in Kentucky.〔Montfort, Nick (2003). Twisty Little Passages: An Approach To Interactive Fiction. Cambridge: The MIT Press. ISBN 0-262-13436-5〕 == History == Will Crowther was a programmer at Bolt, Beranek & Newman, which developed the ARPANET (a forerunner of the Internet). Crowther was an experienced caver, who applied his experience in Mammoth Cave (in Kentucky) to create a game that he could enjoy with his young daughters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Here's where it all began… )〕 Crowther had explored the Mammoth Cave in the early 1970s, and created a vector map based on surveys of parts of the real cave, but the text game is a completely separate entity, created during the 1975-76 academic year〔 and featuring fantasy elements such as an axe-throwing dwarf and a magic bridge. The version that is best known today was the result of a collaboration with Don Woods, a graduate student who in 1976 discovered the game on a computer at Stanford University and during 1976–1977 made significant expansions and improvements, with Crowther's blessing. A big fan of Tolkien, he introduced additional fantasy elements, such as elves and a troll. When Roberta Williams and her husband Ken discovered the game, and were subsequently unable to find anything similar, they were inspired to create their own software house, founding On-Line Software (later Sierra Online, and then Sierra Entertainment), which created the first graphical adventure game (''Mystery House''), and quickly became a dominant player in the entertainment software market for the next two decades, creating successful adventure series such as ''King's Quest'', ''Space Quest'', and ''Leisure Suit Larry''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colossal Cave Adventure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
