If you could save one now defunct studio, who would it be and why?

Didn't know about that, added to my wishlist.

Still have that "With what? Your bare hands?" in my head when playing the original when I was younger...

Actually this is a remake, a remake of one of the oldest games, called Collossal Cave Adventure, Advent350 (because you could gain 350 points), or simply Adventure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure ). That is the game that defined the adventure genre. The Zork-games came after and there strongly inspired by this. It was a pure text-based game, because most computers didn't do graphics (it was made for a PDP-10). Ken and Roberta's remake do it in 3D-graphics, but originally it looked like this:

Ah, the one that started it all - my first adventure was Hobbit in '82, and I ran into Colossal Cave for the first time only by watching War Games in '83 - it seemed interesting, but to a fairly young lad I was at the time, it looked somewhat outdated, since graphic adventure games already took over, so (shame on me) I've only briefly played it.
