	Adventure (Atari 2600) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Atari's Adventure went on to sell a million copies and is considered by many to be one of the company's finest games.
		Adventure was also featured on The Onion, in the sidebar: a yellow cube was holding a 3D-looking arrow on a Quake 3-like 3D castle, with the caption "Atari Updates Adventure".

	Adventure for the Atari 2600 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Adventure introduced the idea of movable objects (represented by visible icons) that could be picked up by the player (using a joystick) and moved from place to place in the game world.
		Adventure also contained the first Easter Egg (hidden surprise) in a video game, which in this case was the author's signature hidden in a secret room.
		Adventure can be run nowadays on a PC using an Atari 2600 emulator (such as PCAE or Stella) and a ROM image file (here or here) of the Adventure cartridge.

	GamingWorld - X Clusive CGOTW: Adventure (Atari 2600)
		In Adventure, gamers were to find an enchanted chalice, which was stolen by an evil magician and hidden somewhere in the kingdom.
		Throughout their adventure, gamers were required to explore the White, Black, and Golden Castles, each needing to be unlocked with a hidden key of the corresponding color.
		While somewhat uninteresting and archaic by today’s standards, when put into context, Adventure is truly one of the single most important video games of all time, and its influence is as far reaching as the influence of the Atari 2600 itself.

	Adventure - Digital Press Online
		In another reference I had made to Atari’s Adventure several years ago (I think it’s in the DP Collector’s Guide), I stated that this was the first game that made me understand the potential video games had, and ultimately the one that hooked me for good.
		It’s funny, when you look at this game today it’s SO outdated: no screen has more than two background colors, the elements of the game are extremely simple (your character is a tiny square), there’s practically no sound in the game, having more than two objects occupy any screen causes everything to flicker...
		I don’t know if everyone got to experience that thrill before having it spoiled by a magazine telling you how to find it, but I can tell you that to this day it was one of the great gaming experiences of my time.

	Phosphor Dot Fossils \| Atari 2600 Adventure
		As a bold adventurer trespassing a mighty castle in search of treasure, you face a twisty maze of chambers, dead ends aplenty, and colorful, hungry, and suspiciously duck-shaped dragons.
		Atari got in on the publicity surrounding Robinett's credit, when in fact he himself had kept it secret because it used 5% of the code that ran Adventure - and he feared he'd get fired for "wasting" that much of the game's memory capacity on what amounted to an in-joke.
		Plans were promptly drawn up for an ambitious multi-game sequel to Adventure, with a heavy emphasis on the kind of hidden features that very likely would have cost Robinett his job.

	AtariAge - Atari 2600 - Adventure (Sears)
		One of the most famous Atari 2600 games, and probably the first console videogame to contain an Easter Egg - by placing a certain object in a certain place in the game, the programmer's name is revealed on the screen.
		It is also considered by many to be the first graphical Adventure game, and was directly inspired by the original text game called Adventure by Willie Crowther and Don Woods.
		The original text game ran on mainframe computers and required hundreds of KB of memory - Atari 2600 programmer Warren Robinett had to figure out how to make a graphical version in only 4KB.

		The name of that game was "Adventure", and in the early days of the 2600 there was nothing else quite like it.
		Not only was it the first graphical adventure game, but it was also the first game to feature an "Easter Egg" - which is now a video game staple.
		I chose the job at Atari because it was interesting, because it was cool, because it had possibilities.

		There is really quite a bit to this game and one of the few Atari 2600 games that the manual is allmost a necessity.
		The game begins with a fairly well drawn house, and you are walking up the steps while pretty well done music plays (Which is that "Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy" song).
		The graphics are sharp and detailed, from the clouds in the sky to Snoopy's Scarf and Goggles.

	A Brief - But Comprehensive - History of the Action/Adventure Genre - Article - Just Adventure - Reviews PC and PS2 ...
		In 1978, Atari programmer Warren Robinett was assigned the task of transferring the original text adventure to the Atari 2600 machines.
		As this upheaval was occurring in the gaming world, very few adventure gamers were aware of the Action/Adventure genre, and if they were, a good percentage of them failed to see it as something appealing and related to the Adventure genre – instead they were mostly considered platform games.
		If it’s mislabeled as ‘Adventure’ (as happens with many console sites and magazines), then someone who liked it and may crave something similar might be encouraged to buy Myst IV next - also labeled as Adventure - and then spend the remainder of eternity exploring its worlds in search of hidden zombies.
