    King’s Quest V

    Wouldn’t it be amazing if Sierra On-Line still existed as its own company? Roberta Williams hasn’t made a game since 1999 when King’s Quest: Mask of Eternity flopped and she quit.

      I’m just glad she lived in a time when a couple of people who had no prior experience with video games could just say, “Let’s make a game” and do it.

      Though apparently it was the new corporate ownership of Sierra that frustrated her (though it could have been directly linked with the flopping of the game).

      And apparently she was a part of a 3d remake of colossal cave adventure that was released in Jan 2023.
