Discover the origins of adventure gaming, from their origins in the 70s to modern day.
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Adventure video games have provided players with epic and hilarious storytelling for over fifty years. What started from the humble beginnings of text adventures led to a blast of point-and-click and graphic adventure games throughout the '80s and '90s. Trailblazers like Roberta and Ken Williams, Ron Gilbert, Tim Schaffer and Dave Grossman brought timeless characters, stories and puzzles to life, lighting the imaginations and wracking the brains of gamers around the world.
This book showcases the companies, games and creators that have made the adventure video game one of the most passionately-adored genres in the medium. In these pages you'll find histories on influential companies such as Sierra On-Line, LucasArts and Telltale Games, as well as some of the most revered games in the genre.
With a bright future emerging as veterans and newcomers forge ahead with new ideas and visual flourishes for adventure games, there's never been a better time to become acquainted (or reacquainted!) with a colorful and exciting part of gaming history.
