About Roberta Williams: Ars Technica stated that Williams was “one of the more iconic figures in adventure gaming”. GameSpot named her tenth in their list of “the most influential people in computer gaming of all time” for “pushing the envelope of graphic adventures” and being “especially proactive in creating games from a woman’s point of view and titles that appealed to the mainstream market, all the while integrating the latest technologies in graphics and sound wherever possible.” In 1997, Computer Gaming World ranked her tenth on the list of the most influential people of all time in computer gaming for adventure game design. In 2009, IGN placed the Williams 23rd on the list of top game creators of all time, expressing hope that “maybe one day, we’ll see the Williams again as well.” She was also a source of inspiration for the character of Cameron Howe in the AMC television drama Halt and Catch Fire.
Williams was given the Pioneer Award at the 20th Game Developers Choice Awards in March 2020 for her work in the graphical adventure game genre and for co-founding Sierra On-Line.
Cygnus Entertainment was formed in October 2021 by Ken and Roberta Williams.
Ken and Roberta Williams are best known as the founders of Sierra On-Line, a legendary publishing company founded in 1979 and ran for 20 years before retiring. During that time, Sierra On-Line dominated the industry bestseller charts releasing over 200 titles, including King’s Quest, Space Quest, Phantasmagoria, Ultima, Red Baron, Half-Life, and many others.
In 2020, the Williams decided to re-enter the games business, creating Cygnus Entertainment. Their first product is a complete reimagining of the game that inspired Sierra On-Line, Colossal Cave.
