Scott Adams (born July 10, 1952) is the co-founder, with wife Alexis, of Adventure International, the first company producing games for personal computers.
He is unrelated to Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert.
Scott was the first person to put an adventure-style game on a personal computer, in 1978 (on a 16K Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I.) These early text adventure games use a minimal parser, recognizing 2-word commands of the form VERB NOUN.
Adams' games include:
Adventureland
Pirate Adventure
Mission Impossible
Voodoo Castle
The Count
Strange Odyssey
Mystery Fun House
Pyramid of Doom
Ghost Town
Savage Island, Part I

He is working on a new Adventure game entitled "The Inheritence".
