  Colossal Cave Adventure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crowther was a caver, who applied his experience in Mammoth Cave (in Kentucky) to create a game that he could enjoy with his young daughters.
Crowther had explored the Mammoth Cave in 1972, and created a vector map based on surveys of parts of the real cave, but the text game is a completely separate entity, created around 1975 and featuring more fantasy elements, such as axe-throwing dwarves.
The version that is known today was created in 1976 by Don Woods, another programmer, who discovered the game on his company's machine and made a number of improvements to it, with Crowther's blessing.

At the same time, the early computer adventure games were partly influenced by DandD in that several of the game developers, including Will Crowther, Dave Lebling, and Richard Bartle, were DandD aficionados.
DandD was developed by Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax in the early 1970's, and involve intricate, complex games where players take on the aspects of characters from fantasy worlds -- warrior, wizard, shaman, prince -- acquire and lose magical powers, and progress through fantastic adventures involving travel through wild and wonderful worlds.
The first widely used computer adventure game was created in 1973 by Will Crowther on a DEC PDP-10 computer, and coincidentally had earlier also worked on the ARPANET IMP.
