Roberta Williams, producer (Kings Quest) and co-founder, Sierra Studios

FG: What's the most underrated game ever?
RW: For me it would be Anvil of Dawn.

FG: Have you ever lied to an arcade attendant to get a free credit?
RW: Nope.

FG: Who in the games industry do you most admire?
RW: I would say Lord British, aka Richard Garriot. He has lasted just as long as me in the industry, and he's still doing it! Why, he'll probably outlast me. Richard has contributed his whole being to the gaming industry and he deserves recognition for that.

FG: What was the first videogame you ever played?
RW: The first videogame I ever played was Pong on an Atari games machine, many, many moons ago.

FG: Have you ever cancelled a date to play a videogame?
RW: No, I'd always rather go on a date than play a videogame. With my husband I might add!

FG: What videogame websites do you have book-marked?
RW: Mplayer. That's all.

FG: Did you ever own a Jaguar?
RW: Nope. I thought about it though...

FG: What game are you most looking forward to playing?
RW: I have a whole stack of adventure games and RPGs to play. Right now I have just started Grim Fandango. I also have The Curse of Monkey Island, Hexen II and Zork: Grand Inquisitor among lots of others.

FG: What's the first game you look for in an arcade?
RW: By now, you've probably noticed that I tend to play adventure or adventure/RPG games. As for arcade games, I prefer them if they have a funny character. I always prefer cute to macho or violent.

FG: Ever played a videogame in the nude?
RW: Nope. Not that I can remember anyway...
