About This Game

"Adventureland" is the first interactive fiction game by Scott Adams. In using two-word verb-noun-combinations the player tries to retrieve 13 lost treausures in a fanatasy world. Initially the game did not feature any graphics at all. As time progressed, though, ports to more advanced systems were enhanced with visuals.
