From Scott Adams' website:
"Who is Scott Adams?
Scott was the first person to put an Adventure game (also known as Interactive
Fiction) on a personal computer. This was in 1978 and the computer was a 16k
Radio Shack TRS-80 model I. Scott went on to write over a dozen different
adventure games for the personal computers of the 1980s. He is credited with
starting the entire multi billion dollar a year computer game industry."
Uh... I have respect for the man too, but since when was he credited with
"starting the entire multi billion dollar a year computer game industry"?
Am I missing something? His early adventures were nice, but with the limited
parser in those things I wouldn't exactly call them the germ of the industry.
