The Roberta Williams are multigenerational family of software programmers and developers.

Backgground[]

The first Roberta Williams was the wife of Ken Williams, and created games for the original Sierra On-Line back in the 1980s to late 1990s.

Not much is known about the second Roberta Williams, or which era she lived in (Pelvis may have been singing bout her (or her famous ancestor) in the 22nd century).

Roberta Williams III who may have been active during the Space Quest I and II eras and later Space Quest III to X eras (anywhere between the 24th to 31st centuries). Her latest game Kings Quest XXXXVIII - Quest for Disk Space was released around the time of Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros era.

One such Roberta is the proprietor of RobertaLand. Roger developed a crush on her after learning about her theme park. In some timelines, she may be Roberta Williams III herself, as the Space Quest III era is after all set a century after SQ1-2 eras in some timelines when Roberta Williams III would have no doubt been much younger, or possibly even Roberta Williams II.

Behind the scenes[]

Roberta was the writer for the Space Quest II Hintbook.
