Scott Adams (born July 10, 1952) is an American entrepreneur, computer programmer, and video game designer.

Later adventure games added graphics, with the text entry window below an image illustrating the scene.

[4] Adams and his wife eventually started organizing their own conventions, and opened a chain of computer stores in Orlando.

As in most of his other games, the player is the protagonist of a novel-like story and helps events unfold in a text adventure set.

[5] Adams would describe how his wife "handles most of the business" as the corporate vice president and general manager of Adventure International, and that she "has been intimately involved in all aspects... from the very beginning".

[11][12][13][14] The couple decided to build an image of mystery around their company and opted to put Scott's name alone on products.

Still Alexis was credited as co-creator on some games' title screens, with one giving her sole billing: Voodoo Castle (1979).
