Atari Adventures - The (In)Complete List
List - Garry Francis, Text and Additions - Les Ellingham
Issue 10
Jul/Aug 84
Trying to compile a definitive list of Adventures available for the Atari is probably more difficult than solving many of the Adventures! Not only are new programs being written but old ones drop out of publishers catalogues and in addition, one has to define exactly what an Adventure is. Are 'graphic adventures' to be included? Do 'arcade adventures' come within the context of true adventures?
For the purpose of this (in)complete list, we have generally taken only those Adventures that conform the original concept of Adventure. Those where you have to type commands in the form of words and need to solve puzzles and riddles. Graphics adventures are included where the same method of input is used and they have the suffix 'ILL'. Most of the adventures shown should be available (easily or otherwise) and hopefully you will seek out some of the less well known ones.
Readers are invited to submit additions to the list and if possible should include the authors name, memory required, media and publishers name and address.
