Warren Robinett was a programmer for the Atari Corporation, and was responsible for the design of the classic Atari 2600 game “Adventure”. The game was a visualization of earlier text adventure games, and a huge influence on later games like The Legend of Zelda. “Adventure” is also famous for containing the world's first “Easter egg”, since the programmer put his signature in a secret room within the game. The interview was conduced in 1998 by A. Merrill (a friend of Arthur's Hall) and posted on a college web site that no longer exists. I'm a video game geek at heart, so I hope some of you will enjoy this as much as I do.
