    I think she was probably confusing it with FF VII.

    Actually, Colossal Cave Adventure was not the first. It was the 1975 arcade game Gun Fight that first introduced the idea of a game having player characters and some kind of story.

    It's also worth noting that Gun Fight was designed by Tomohiro Nishikado, the creator of Space Invaders and the man who inspired Miyamoto to enter the gaming industry.

  • storytelling?? what the hell is story about mario? honestly miyamoto is the most overrated person in videogaming history. where is yu suzuki? he reinvented the arcades, 3d gaming, open world sandbox gaming

  • Who the hell cried during Legend of Zelda, LMAO!

  • @workbutterfield Nope. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but following popularization of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. It has nothing to do with the content in a video game.

  • @thejobloshow A text based adventure is not a 'Video Game', it is a 'game'. There is a difference. Text-based adventures, as the name implies has no video, and no graphic - without a graphic/video - it is not a "video game" just a "game".

  • Shigeru Miyamoto is my second dad
