Re: Who Invented? Game
Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb. Charles Brush invented the arc light.
Who invented highlighters? those fluorescent pens you can read though when you mark up a textbook.

The idea of using a parachute to fall gently to the ground was written about by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). The first parachute was demonstrated by Louis-Sébastien Lenormand in 1783 of France - he jumped from a very tall tree carrying two parasols (umbrellas). A few years later, some adventurous people jumped from hot-air balloons using primitive parachutes. The first person to jump from a flying airplane (and survive the fall) was Captain Albert Berry, who jumped from a U.S. Army plane in 1912. Parachutes were first used in war towards the end of World War 1.

Nice try, but no cigar. He invented the first adventure game, not the first GRAPHICAL adventure game.

Hooyah!!! My personal industrial heroes. Your turn.
Peasant's Quest was so awesome!!! It was really sad though, because it was such a beautifully-written spoof of the original King's Quests 1 and 2, but I doubt hardly any of the Homestarrunner fans understood the depth of satire that was in it.
