#colossal cave game

[imustbeamermaidrango]

Just learned that my favorite game series, 'King's Quest', was written by a woman, Roberta Williams, who actually founded Sierra Entertainment with her programmer husband, Ken.

Cool learning what pioneers they were in narrative video games. Roberta loved the fantasy genre, and as a child, used to tell stories to entertain her epileptic brother. After her husband sat her at the computer to play her first text based game called 'Colossal Cave', Roberta was hooked. In 1980, she and Ken then went on to create their first graphical text-based game, 'Mystery House' (which looks like it was drawn in MS Paint). 'Wizard and the Princess' came next, and four years later, 'King's Quest' was born: the first mainstream animated adventure game.

Sierra made 'Frogger' too!! My favorite arcade game at the animatronic kid's Birthday funhouse, Bullwinkles. And apparently also worked with Jim Henson to adapt 'The Dark Crystal' into a video game.

Roberta came out of retirement to create a remake of 'Colossal Cave', which I only just discovered, and it will be released in nine days!!!

I just finished King's Quest VI today, so I'm geeking out. Playing these games on my old Amiga back in the 90s - and my computer-savvy IT Father who set us up with them - is the reason I went into the computer industry. Heartwarming to read all the comments on Roberta and Ken's YouTube interviews and 2014 'Industry Icon' Game Award acceptance video who were just as captivated and who went on to create video games themselves.

[BUSTS DOWN THE DOOR]

SUP BESTIE IM HERE TO CONTRIBUTE SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL WAREFARE-

You. know em! You love em! Itssssss---- it's idia I'm requesting idia. I would like an x "biter". We all know bro can't handle kisses in public so what if we straight up just fucking bite his arm instead?

Also part 3 of the thing you know what i mean

i am crying and kicking my feet at the same time this is ur fault

reader is not yuu, reader is gender neutral, mentions of blood

man will fucking screech at you the first time you bite him

why did you bite him????? what'd you do that for????

will flinch every time your teeth meet his skin. you don't even need to bite for him to jolt. dramatic ass.

eventually, he gets used to it. still flinches a bit when you bite him.

biting him in public? oh that's a different story.

his systems will malfunction and his soul will evaporate instantly.

and now you have a colossal sized body to drag back to ignihyde.

in the confines of his room however, he's gonna be plotting his revenge on you.

those shark teeth aren't just for show, bestie. his bites will indent your skin, some are hard enough to draw blood (those are usually accidents)

likes gnawing on your shoulders to focus on his gaming. this sometimes leads to him biting too hard, as mentioned above.

in conclusion: you bite him in public, he bites you in private.

What The F**K is THAT?!?!?

I'm now burning my precious lifeforce playing Elden Ring. It's my first FromSoftware game and, as by design, I die often. It feels like I die TOO often. I might not be good at FromSoftware games (not an empirically sound assertion given my sample size is 1). I'm choosing to dwell in the Lands Between rather than dwell on how corrupt and partisan the U.S. Supreme Court has become or the mass killing ongoing in Gaza or [place depressing political topic here]. Rather than be surprised by reality, I'm allowing myself the privilege to be surprised by whatever this game has built into it. What's that, a giant crab? Oh shit, it's a huge dragon! Is that a giant Lobster? I'm being chased by a giant tree-like person with an incredibly large sword. I died again. I opened a chest and got warped into a cave where shrimp-like people throw gem barbs at me. I died again. A masked individual spoke cryptically to me. I have no idea what the hell they're talking about. I don't know where I'm going. I think I'm starting to figure out this map (it's like, once you get it, you get it). I died again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Oh, don't worry, I died again. I ride this horse like I was born on its back. A colossal titan with a massive bow murdered me with a very large arrow. I think I'm having fun. I like exploration. I found a dungeon so I'm glad I have purchased a lamp. (Why are animated skeletons so ubiquitous in fantasy settings?) Quest lines? *shrugs shoulders* I guess I'm doing something for someone but what that "something" is remains deeply opaque. I guess that's the point? Wait, I think I hear a bell ringing in the distance. Ok. It's a walking building with a bell hanging from bellow it's belly. I guess that's pretty cool. How many hours have I spent playing this game thus far? INCONCIEVABLE! What am I DOING with myself?

This might need a screen shot to spruce up the place but I'm not doing that. YOU DIED. Put that on my tombstone.

[gamesline]

Okay so LOOONG before we were Gamesline, Solon and Franny were on the scene at PAX West 2022 and they covered a ton of the convention experience. That media was thought to be lost... UNTIL TODAY! The crew has done a ton of painstaking work reviving this convention experience as authentically as possible. Over the next three weeks we'll be posting more from this event, including interviews, games, and even more! Will Solon and Franny survive? Tune in:

[ebonyslasher]

Spicy Alphabet: Sephiroth

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Y/n, Clean up time~. And he expects to be spotless as he reclines as you wipe him. Make sure to apply lotion, you absolute beauty. Sephiroth will hold your hand, but let him cover his hair first. And yes, that is your big bonnet he stole.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Sephiroth: HIM.

You: Hands. Your fingers were neat and graceful. Watching them wander his perfect body was entertaining. The feel against his soft skin was divine. Bonus points for you if you get them done. Oh y/n, that's fucking arousing. Wrap them around his heavy cock.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Hentai level cum. Purposefully blue balls himself for a colossal load. Sephiroth will hold your legs open to watch his semen flow out of you.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

While crushing on you, Sephiroth would alter reality many times to pretend you were coming on to him, flirting, being sensual, calling him god.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

He tried to be a whore, but didn’t work out. Too standoffish in his youth. Found out he was too picky with his partners. He has a select few (his former close friends) he’s had experience with.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

This

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

His version of being goofy is his dry-ass humor… and it's not for the bedroom. You are not amused.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Carpet matches thankfully. Y'all know he's groomed to the gods, the fuck.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Weird to see him intimate. You’ll get moments here and there. Does care, it just shows differently. 

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

His favorite way is spying on you while doing something regular and he jacks off without you knowing. Sometimes he will actually be somewhere near, but you'll never know

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Worship, size difference, affectionate cruelty, energy play, latex, mind control, mutual masterbation, tease and denial

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Any alternate reality you want, the possibilities are endless. The moon? An ice cave? In a lavish mansion? Tell him what you want.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Call him god. Parade around in a latex outfit. A sucker for taking care of his hair and offering servitude cutely, looking up at him with those pretty eyes. Although, it's pleasing to win submission with a fight.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Nothing that will negatively affect his appearance, if you stop worshipping him, mention anything about Shinra, talk about Cloud and his posse positively

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Would rather receive. Chocking you with his cock is an experience he adores too much. Seeing your cute brown ass struggle to take it in is too much fun. He'll give if you've earned it. Better do a good job to get that y/n.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Fast, rough, with some sensuality.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Huge Fan. He's passionate about catching you off guard. Wild man.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Yeah, he's down! A powerful being like him can do anything you desire. Ask him for permission and he won't turn you down. He’d fuck you in front of Cloud if he wanted to.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

God level. Can go all day. Literally, you've had to gleefully suffer through a full day of sex. Sephiroth was unbelievably horny that day.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Yes. He owns a few toys and will use them. He likes to roleplay, so he has props for specific scenes.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Head Unfair Bitch in Charge. Sephiroth will leave you unsatisfied if he is not pleased with your performance. AND THEN!!!! Continues to toy with you and edge you at irregular opportunities. He's laughed hearing you dog him out in your mind.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Silent. He will either talk to you or smoothly give orders.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Sephiroth will utilize telekinesis to project provocative imagery in your head. Him stroking his massive dick, pre-cum dropping amazingly from his tip. Fingering you open, stretching enough so you could see the inside of yourself. It pleases him to see you stop, your pretty eyes glazing over.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

8.5

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Varies too much to determine a pattern. Good luck and watch out.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Does he even need sleep (serious question)??? He won’t

🇺🇲 Step back into the pioneering era of computer gaming with Microsoft Adventure, a text-based interactive fiction game that left an indelible mark on the gaming landscape in 1979.

⌨️ Microsoft Adventure was developed by Gordon Letwin of Softwin Associates and drew inspiration from the influential Colossal Cave Adventure. It debuted on platforms like TRS-80 and Apple II, featuring an expansive virtual world with 130 rooms, 15 treasures, 40 objects, and 12 intricate puzzles.

💾 One of the game's standout features was its ability to save progress on diskettes, a revolutionary concept at the time. Players immersed themselves in a rich narrative, navigating through detailed environments and solving complex challenges.

👾 As personal computing gained traction, Microsoft Adventure became one of the inaugural games available for the IBM PC. Its inclusion in IBM's initial software releases underscored its significance in shaping early computer entertainment.

🌟 Despite its text-based format, Microsoft Adventure received acclaim from critics like Carrington Dixon and PC Magazine for its depth and creativity. It set a precedent for interactive storytelling and laid the groundwork for Microsoft's future ventures in gaming.

🕹️ Microsoft Adventure remains a pivotal chapter in gaming history, showcasing Microsoft's innovative spirit and the evolution of interactive entertainment. Rediscover the thrill of classic gaming with Microsoft Adventure—an immersive experience that continues to captivate gamers and historians alike.
