- Roberta Williams describing how she creates the story and graphics for a computer game. To her left is Ken Williams, her husband, and the interviewer is Jon Eklund. Smithsonian Institution Archives, Record Unit 9533, Session 1 Tape 1.
This lady's games brought me a lot of fun when I was a kid. Being disabled all my life these games gave me the ability to distract myself from all I missed out on in my childhood; it gave me alot of comfort where there wasn't much. Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Williams
Thats really amazing
I rarely used this worrd, but Roberta Williams is true legend in gaming - her contributions are immeasurable.
This woman is the queen of video games!💗
No, is the Queen of non logical puzzles in video-game
Indeed, a true legend.
In my eyes, the first queen of gamers. We have MUCH to thank for Roberta and her husband, Ken.
I agree. Those two and their company Sierra brought a lot of good memories to a lot of people
Please post the rest of this interview!
What an absolute legend!
Surely there is another several hours of this glorious chit chat with Roberta, to be found somewhere? :)
I'd love to see more. :D
Life would have been bleak without sierra
So much love for these two folks.
She shaped my childhood
Please upload the full interview.
The greatest of all time.
ngl i don't even care what age she is she's still a cutie
Greatness!
Gamegrumps brought me here.
I got this recommended after watching that episode
HI. Where are they now and how can they be contacted?
Notice how womanly and feminine Mrs. Williams is. This is sorely missing in today’s “try to be a man” feminism.
A real woman can be successful in a business (if she desires to pursue such a life) without trying to be a man.
I miss Sierra
Women, if you want to be feminine, be feminine. If you want to be masculine, be masculine. Either way, don't let someone like this guy tell you how you should be. He has zero say.
@@April_Mack Lol, nice strawman-I never once stated or even indicated “how [one] should be.”. I was simply stating that a woman being feminine can be very virtuous and lead to paths of success (and in my opinion happier personal outcomes in most cases).
Funny thing is, you seem like the type of control freak personality who almost certainly tells everyone how to be, and are projecting your own evil onto me.
@@JT-bc5cd "I know you are, but what am I?" Any more brilliant insights, angry old man?
@@April_Mack If that is what you got out of my rebuttal to your dumb ass comment, then you are cretin of the highest order.
@@JT-bc5cd Sorry, bro. Go police gender norms in the mall if they haven't banned you from there yet.
She didn't answer thequestion, he wanted to know how she went about it, but she was telling what she liked about doing it.
0:57 - Listening comprehension is becoming a lost skill these days.
Exactly, just like her non-logical puzzles, in which she pretends to give the illusion that you solved it by merit, but mostly it was a random lack of logic, which was solved at the cost of many random attempts
Shame that she is such an elitist.
How?
Back then, only the wealthy and elite even played PC games. The average basic home PC capable of playing what were high-end games back then adjusted for inflation cost about $20,000 in today's dollars and another $2,000 in accessories. She even admits upfront in several interviews that this was a very niche and wealthy market.
@@noblelies BS, I was a poor kid and lived in a rental controlled high rise, I saved for a PC (Epson x86 equity +1) and played all of her games.
@@noblelies What?? You must be thinking of the 60s. All my friends played Sierra's and Roberta's games and we were all from low to middle income households.
They were high-priced. Could never afford them.
