Hi Bryan, When Adventure came out the concept of roll playing games like Dungeons and Dragons was just starting to become popular. Adventure was Atari's attempt to bring roll playing games to the gaming console, but the vidio gaming technology just wasn't up to doing it very well. As you know a few years later Nintendo put out Legend of Zelda which was another attempt at bringing roll playing games to the home console. While good neither Adventure or Zelda captured a player the way true paper and pen rpg games did.
