Colossal Cave Adventure is a text-based adventure game created by Will Crowther and Don Woods, and first released back in 1976 (one of the earliest text-based adventure games ever released). It’s headed to Nintendo Switch later this year.

The game is developed by Cygnus Entertainment, and spearheaded by Roberta Williams (co-founder of Sierra Entertainment with her husband, Ken Williams), who previously worked on titles such as King’s Quest, Space Quest, and Phantasmagoria.
