Adventure game
An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of a protagonist in an interactive story driven by exploration and puzzle-solving. The genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media, literature and film, encompassing a wide variety of literary genres. Many adventure games (text and graphic) are designed for a single player, since this emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult. "Colossal Cave Adventure" is identified as the first such adventure game, first released in 1976, while other notable adventure game series include "Zork", "King's Quest", "The Secret of Monkey Island", and "Myst".

Petr Vlček at the time only had an 8-bit Atari 800 and therefore developed the game editor and engine at school. Jarek drew the locations and wrote the plot. While on a school trip to Polička, Jarek decided to skip a lunch with his classmates and instead went to find the panelák where entrepreneur Petr Vochozka lived at the time. Two weeks later, Vochozka saw their demo and agreed to produce and distribute the game. "The Secret of Donkey Island", released in June 1994 after two years of development, is considered the first Czech commercially successful point-and-click graphical adventure. The sales were supported by an enthusiastic review written by Petr Vochozka for Czech game magazine "Excalibur". In the following months Petr Vlček and Jarek Kolář created an adventure game called "Seven Days and Seven Nights", based on a story about a womanizer written by Petr Vochozka for a semi-developed Amiga game.
