Jukka O. Kauppinen<p>Vuonna 1977 julkaistu Colossal Cave Adventure on ketterästi yksi historian tärkeimmistä peleistä. Colossal Cave on oikeastaan kaikkien seikkailupelien isä, äiti ja syntylähde. Modernimman version tekeminen muinaisesta tekstipohjaisesta seikkailusta onkin melkoinen kunnianosoitus.</p><p>@pelikopteri <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/pelikopteri" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pelikopteri</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/v2fi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>v2fi</span></a> @V2pisteFi @v2.fi <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/videopelit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videopelit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videogames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/extralife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extralife</span></a> @v2fi <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/ColossalCave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColossalCave</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/CygnusEntertainment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CygnusEntertainment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodontti.fi/tags/seikkailupelit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>seikkailupelit</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.v2.fi/uutiset/pelit/38645/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">v2.fi/uutiset/pelit/38645/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Vivienne Dunstan<p>And now onto this video, where computer science lecturers briefly recall their first computer game experiences. My first computer games were played in December 1980 on a borrowed to home Apple II. I can’t remember if I played Colossal Cave first or Lemonade Stand, but those were my first two. The YouTube video’s comments are full of more reminiscences. <a href="https://youtu.be/GdzZFV8jfjg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/GdzZFV8jfjg</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ComputerGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerGames</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/InteractiveFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InteractiveFiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ColossalCave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColossalCave</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/AppleII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AppleII</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/LemonadeStand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LemonadeStand</span></a></p>

Andrew Plotkin<p>This is a great diagram. It says &quot;growth in length of Mammoth Cave&quot;, but that really means the growth of the *surveyed region* of the cave. The diameter of each branch shows the total surveyed passage length at that point in time.</p><p>Branches merge where a connection was made, thus merging two (surveyed) cave systems into one.
