The popularity of these games was growing steadily and better and better games began to emerge on the market. There is typically a lot more to read in these games and the player often finds that they will use their minds far more than they will their reflexes or hand-eye coordination.Īdventure games themselves first began in the mid 1970s as little more than text-based interactive stories, but in the 1980s graphics began to be added to the games to give the player a better sense of what was happening. The hero or heroine is often faced with a number of puzzles to solve or clues to find in order to progress through the story.
The player has a lot more control of how they progress in the story and interacts with the game world in a different way than in most other games. Adventure Games (also known as Point and Click Adventure Games) put the player in the role of the protagonist or hero of an interactive story.
