Chapter 15. Adventure Games

The term adventure game is a bit misleading because a lot of games about being adventurous aren't adventure games ”and a lot of adventure games aren't about adventures , at least, in the fairy-tale sense of going forth to seek one's fortune . The reason for the odd term is historical. It's really short for Adventure -type game, meaning a game similar to the one named Adventure (although it was sometimes also called Colossal Cave , just to confuse things further).
