My definition of an adventure game is an interactive story set with puzzles and obstacles to solve and worlds to explore.
I had always been intrigued by the emotional aspect of adventure gaming-the fact that people get so personally involved.
I always say that my favorite game was Original Adventure, published by both Microsoft and Apple Computer back in 1980.
King's Quest IV was a much bigger hit than I, II, or III. I do feel that King's Quest IV was a pivotal game in bringing in more female players.
