In the foreword to The Video Game Theory Reader, Warren Robinett, the man who invented the action-adventure genre of videogames in his mid-20′s, mentioned that the people who built the conceptual foundations of our industry – our medium’s versions of Bach, Plato, Shakespeare – are still very much alive today. Insofar as we’re full of questions that we would love to ask the innovators of other fields, we shouldn’t take this fact for granted; we owe it to the future generations to interview these people. So I did!
Check out the interview with Warren Robinett, creator of Adventure (first action-adventure game) and Rocky’s Boots (one of the first megahit educational games).
