Adventure games in video game history
Adventure puts story, exploration and puzzle-solving ahead of reflexes. Born from text (Zork, Colossal Cave), it enjoyed its golden age in point-and-click at Sierra and LucasArts, before declining in the late 1990s and then being reborn through indies and interactive drama.
Its milestones are varied: Myst established contemplative, enigmatic adventure, Syberia carried on the European tradition, Heavy Rain reinvented the genre as interactive drama and L.A. Noire turned it into a cinematic investigation. Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and Life is Strange complete a long lineage.
For collectors, adventure ranges from widely distributed classics to rarer console versions and limited physical reissues. On RomWize, every adventure game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region; the 'by console' section above helps you explore the best, machine by machine.
