Game Spotlight

Colossal Cave 3D Adventure - Ken And Roberta Williams Are Remaking Colossal Cave Adventure.

After officially announcing their return to games last year, Sierra On-Line founders Ken and Roberta Williams are ready to show off their new project. Previously referred to as The Secret, it will be a “reimagining” of Colossal Cave Adventure — the seminal 1970’s text adventure game credited with inspiring Zork, Rogue, and other formative PC games, as well as for laying the groundwork for the PC role-playing genre as a whole.

Titled Colossal Cave 3D Adventure, it is a first-person adventured designed in Unity for VR and PC. Like the original, the underlying concept is relatively simple: players explore a cave seeking treasure, encountering characters along the way including a troll, a bear, a snake and a pirate. The quest, apparently, is to “find all the treasure.” The reimagined adventure will be challenging and will feature a “wide variety of puzzles to overcome” in a “completely immersive 3D world” with more than 143 locations.
