Roberta and I received an incredible email with a picture of Will Crowther playing our game (colossalcave3d.com) in VR. This meant a huge amount to us. Will is responsible for our careers as well as that of many other people in our industry. Here’s an interesting piece of…
Apparently it is the 40th year anniversary since the release of King's Quest. It doesn't seem nearly that long! Oh well... Anyway, here's an amazingly well researched article with a history of the game. retro365.blog/2024/04/05/kin…
Here's a strange bit of long-forgotten computer industry trivia.... Roberta and I were watching an old movie on TV last night called "Weekend At Bernie's." It's not a great movie, but we were in the mood for something funny. One of the stars of the movie was an actress named…
Boxed versions of our game are coming! Limited Run Games (LRG) is taking backorders now for the boxed version of Colossal Cave on PS4, PS5, Switch AND PC. The USB stick version is especially awesome because we loaded it up with everything we could think of to fill left over…
There aren't a lot of people who have been building games as long as Roberta and I, but this is one of them. Brian Fargo's Wikipedia page lists him as responsible for over 50 games. We haven't seen each other since "the old days" when the game industry was just getting rolling.…
I bought an Apple Vision Pro Headset! Here's what happened.... A couple weeks ago - I ordered a Vision Pro on the Apple site and was told it would be delivered in early March. Yesterday - I heard the Apple store was going to have headsets in stock, so I called Apple and asked…
Yayyyy Thank you for sharing!
I don't know if I'll actually finish this project or not, but I've started working on a book about boating. I have nothing more than the table of contents at this point. I'm targeting anyone who is thinking of buying a boat and heading offshore. This picture was generated by AI…

Just in case there is anyone who hasn't seen this story: livescience.com/animals/orcas/… Whales are learning to attack boats! It reminded me that, when we were preparing to cross our first ocean, I was doing our research and found a book that was filled with statistics, compiled by a…
I just posted my first boat-blog entry in almost a year. In addition to catching everyone up on our cruising over the last year, I give a look at all that happens to the boat when we're NOT on it. As you'll see, there is more to boating than just having fun....…

@caboken @thecolossalcave Thanks to Will Crowther for betting on Roberta and you. What an incredible legacy. Beautiful story.
@caboken @thecolossalcave What is the email for your company? I've tried to send an inquiry to the one on the website, but it keeps coming back with a mailer daemon. That is an awesome story and an awesome picture!:D
@caboken @DeanoC @thecolossalcave That’s great to hear. And this definitely belongs in a frame! ❤️❤️❤️
@caboken @thecolossalcave I might just get this On iPadOS actually, this Seems Neat actually
@caboken @thecolossalcave I brag about this picture to my friends when I mention our talk lmao. It's so cool to see him doing this.
@caboken @thecolossalcave This is so awesome! Thanks for sharing.
@caboken @thecolossalcave "You and Sierra are central to the story of gaming"... and my wanting, to Game On. Love you all ♥️
@caboken @thecolossalcave Congratulations Ken! What an honor! 💪
@caboken @thecolossalcave I love this, thank you for sharing! I keep thinking about those who have come before us in the industry and how we can best celebrate their work... this is such a nice moment.
@caboken @thecolossalcave This made my day- kudos and love to you and Roberta for making this happen. How special. How Fucking wonderful. 🙌❤️
@caboken @thecolossalcave As for not being credited, as far as I've learned from others more knowledgeable than me, Being credited wasn't really a thing back then, causing Warren Robinett to make the first easter egg, hiding his name in the game "Adventure" for the Atari in 1979.
@caboken @thecolossalcave The only previous time a picture gave me feels like this was when I saw a modern video of Steve Wozniak sitting at an Apple][.
@caboken @thecolossalcave It’s really cool to see our heros have heros and see y’all be giddy over finding a connection with the people who have impacted your lives like yall have impacted us. Have a great weekend Ken and Roberta!
@caboken @thecolossalcave Okay, that's pretty awesome. :)
@caboken @thecolossalcave Had the good fortune to meet him years ago. This is fantastic, and thank you for calling out his importance!
@caboken @thecolossalcave This is so cool. Thanks for sharing!
@caboken @DeanoC @thecolossalcave That’s super touching 🥲 And LOL about the river.
@caboken @thecolossalcave This must be equal than forbme meeting you and roberta. If I could just explain how much you both meant for a 7 year old little child living in Venezuela. Wish you the best always
