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".
Out-of-home entertainment
Probably known more by the blockbuster arcade video game titles they produced rather than by company names, these video game developers played a defining role in the birth of the video amusement industry. In 1972, Atari essentially created the first commercially successful video game "Pong," marking the beginning of the coin-operated video game industry. In 1978, the first blockbuster arcade video game, "Space Invaders" was produced by Taito Corporation and ushered in the golden age of arcade video games. Namco (of "Pac-Man"'s fame), Nintendo ("Donkey Kong"), Konami (), Capcom ("Street Fighters"), Sega AM2 ("Daytona") are among some of the most notable video game developers that remain active today in the video amusement scene.
