45 years ago today, gaming changed forever. On May 5, 1980, a young couple named Ken and Roberta Williams released Mystery House — the first graphical adventure game ever made. Built for the Apple II, it was a game that dared to show you the world it described. Crude by today’s standards? Sure. But revolutionary? Absolutely. Roberta hand-sketched the scenes, and Ken coded them into digital life, one pixel at a time. Suddenly, players weren’t just imagining haunted houses and hidden clues — they could see them. This was more than a game. It was the spark that launched Sierra On-Line, the birthplace of King’s Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry and a generation’s imagination. And today, 45 years later… we’re bringing it back. Introducing Mystery House 3D — a full reimagining of the original classic. Same murder mystery. Same eerie mansion. But now in rich, atmospheric 3D, with modern storytelling, puzzles, and gameplay. It’s not just a remake — it’s a resurrection. The house is waiting. Will you enter? @mysteryhouse3D #MysteryHouse3D #MysteryHouse45 #RetroGaming #AdventureGames #KingsQuest #ColossalCave50th #KenAndRoberta #IndieGames #GamingHistory #SierraOnLine #PointAndClickLives #NowIn3D
