Question

It's a good year for fantasy Role Playing Games, as Shigeru Miyamoto creates Legend of Zelda, SSI wins the video game license for Dungeons and Dragons, and Sierra's Leisure Suit Larry gives players a different kind of adult role playing game." ( true or false)

Answer 1

The statement is semi-accurate. Shigeru Miyamoto is the creator of The Legend of Zelda, and SSI did make a Dungeons and Dragons video game. While Leisure Suit Larry is an adult-themed game produced by Sierra, it is not an RPG.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is partially true and false. Shigeru Miyamoto did indeed create the Legend of Zelda, a beloved fantasy role-playing game (RPG), that came out in 1986. However, Leisure Suit Larry created by Sierra is a graphic adventure game and not an adult role-playing game. Created by Al Lowe and published by Sierra On-Line, it does embody adult themes and humor, but it is not classified within the RPG genre.

SSI (Strategic Simulations, Inc.), on the other hand, did obtain the license to create computer-based games from the popular tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons, which is a true statement. The first Dungeons and Dragons computer game was Pool of Radiance, released by SSI in 1988.
