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".
Blitz (video game)
The first game of this genre was written for the Commodore PET by Peter Calver and published under the name "Air Attack" by his company, Supersoft, in 1979 (it is shown as a new title in the December 1979 Supersoft catalogue). At that time it was common for computer magazines to publish games listings which readers could type into their own computer, and "Air Attack" was also published as a listing in the December 1979 issue of Personal Computer World.
