喬瑟夫·華倫·羅賓奈特二世（英語：Joseph Warren Robinett, Jr.，1951年—）[1]是一位美國[2]互動式電腦軟體設計師，他的知名作是一款雅達利2600遊戲《魔幻歷險》——電子遊戲歷史上第一個動作冒險遊戲[3]。羅賓奈特也是軟體公司樂寧公司（英语：The Learning Company）的創辦人[1]，他為該公司開發了兩款學習軟體《Rocky's Boots（英语：Rocky's Boots）》[4]和《Robot Odyssey（英语：Robot Odyssey）》兩款遊戲。近期他參與了虚拟现实技術的開發。

Robinett graduated in 1974 with a B.A. from Rice University,[1] with a major in "Computer Applications to Language and Art".[1][5] After graduating from Rice University, he was a Fortran programmer for Western Geophysical in Houston, Texas.[5] He received an M.S. from University of California, Berkeley in 1976, and went to work at Atari, Inc. in November 1977.[1][5]

早年與雅達利時期 编辑

華倫·羅賓奈特出生於1951年[1]。1974年，他畢業於萊斯大學，之後於1977年11月進入電腦公司雅達利工作，第一個作品是雅達利2600遊戲《軌道賽車（英语：Slot Racers）》（1978年）[1][6]。在參觀史丹佛大學智慧實驗室時玩過文字冒險遊戲《巨洞冒險》後，羅賓奈特認為，將其製作成一款圖像遊戲「會是一件很酷的事」[5]。他於1978年5月至6月間使用惠普1611A微處理器電腦開始設計《巨洞冒險》的改良版《魔幻歷險》[7][8]。不過，《魔幻歷險》的檔案大小約為數百KB（千字節），而雅達利2600只有4,096字節（約4KB）的唯讀記憶體（ROM），128字節的随机存取存储器（RAM）和1MHz（一兆赫茲）的6502處理器，連羅賓奈特的上司都認為不可能[1][9]。

However, with 128 bytes of RAM and 4096 bytes of ROM, Atari's Adventure was a much simpler program, and with only a joystick for input, the set of "commands" was necessarily brief.[5] Adventure was a hit upon its 1979 release, and eventually sold a million copies.[10]

Atari designers at the time were not given credit for their games, because Atari feared having to bargain with well-known designers.[10] In response to this, Robinett placed a hidden object in the game that would allow the player to reach a hidden screen which displayed the words "Created by Warren Robinett," hence creating one of the earliest known Easter eggs in a video game, and the first to which the name "Easter egg" was applied.[10][5]

Robinett then wrote the BASIC Programming cartridge, finishing both BASIC Programming and Adventure in June 1979, and quit Atari.[5]

樂寧公司與之後 编辑

He founded The Learning Company[1] in 1980, and worked on several educational games there, including Rocky's Boots and Robot Odyssey for the Apple II.[10] The Learning Company was acquired by Softkey in 1995 for US$606 million.[11]

He has since worked on virtual reality projects for NASA[5] and the University of North Carolina.[1]

In 2016, Robinett announced The Annotated Adventure, a book describing the design and implementation of Adventure for the Atari 2600.[12] As of December 2017, the book has not been published.

Robinett's Adventure Easter egg is a plot element in the 2011 novel and 2018 film Ready Player One.
