Crowther, part of the team that hammered out the infrastructure for linking computers in the immediate precursor to the Internet, is best known for writing the ground-breaking text-parser game Colossal Cave Adventure (1976; expanded by Don Woods 1977).
The commercial text games that followed “Adventure,” by companies like Infocom and Magnetic Scrolls, were among the best-selling games of the 1980s. (See Jason Scott’s documentary GET LAMP.)
