Today is the 40th Anniversary of Roberta’s game series, King’s Quest!
It doesn’t seem possible that it has been that much time, but .. time flies fast when you’re having fun.
Yesterday, I recorded a video with Roberta. She’s normally pretty shy about doing interviews, but King’s Quest was always her passion. She talked for over 30 minutes! If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll be delighted. Check it out!
~ Ken Williams (AKA Roberta’s husband)
For the next 24 hours, Roberta will be focusing on social media and answering all the burning questions. Be kind. Be patient. She will try to get to all of them.
Important Note: Roberta never does this kind of thing. She doesn’t even have social media profiles or accounts. When looking for responses, watch for responses from Ken’s account. It’ll be her, though. Stay tuned!
