Gilbert sees adventure games as the original multiplayer game
A portion of a GodisaGeek interview with Ron Gilbert...
G: The Cave is almost like a co-operative adventure game, which is unusual for the genre. Why do you think this is so rare?
RG: I’ve always seen adventure games as the original multiplayer games. I remember sitting around the computer with my friends playing the old text adventures. Everyone was shouting out possible solutions to puzzles, it was great fun. So, with The Cave I wanted to bring that back, but allow the other people to play along, not just be a passive backseat player.
