	William Crowther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Will and his first wife Pat Crowther were active and dedicated cavers in the 1960s and early 1970s—both were part of many expeditions to connect the Mammoth and Flint Ridge cave systems.
		Crowther used his extensive knowledge of cave exploration as a basis for this, and there are many similarities between the locations in the game and those in Mammoth Cave, particularly its Bedquilt section.
		A number of the basic features invented by Will Crowther were carried forward by the designers of later adventure games—in particular the Zork adventures show this ancestry particularly clearly.

		It was alleged that the 10-acre portion of the tract was not worth $500, and that such sum was agreed by them and Crowther to be received by him, not only in payment for the 10 acres, but also as part consideration for the remaining 30 acres.
		But, even if it be conceded that Crowther did not tender the abstract, the finding of that fact would not have rendered a different judgment necessary and hence the supposed fact was really immaterial.
		If the contract is construed as making it the duty of Crowther to tender the abstract, yet his failure to do so did not dispense with performance or the offer to perform on the part of the complainants.
