		Their game design philosophy was that the player should never die or reach a complete dead-end, although there have been exceptions to the former (such as both Indiana Jones games and one in The Secret of Monkey Island that can be considered an easter egg).
		Common features between the games include in-joke references to both other LucasArts games and Lucasfilm productions, including the number 1138, quotes such as the phrase "I have a bad feeling about this", as well as other running gags (obligatory Chuck the Plant and Sam and Max cameo appearances among them) that spanned numerous games.

	LucasArts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The long-lived LucasArts logo, affectionately known as the "Gold Guy", was introduced in 1991 and consisted of a crude gold-colored figure resembling a petroglyph, standing on a purple letter "L" inscribed with the company name.
		LucasArts still managed to release commercially moderately successful titles: The Curse of Monkey Island (1997) was the last LucasArts adventure game to retain traditional two-dimensional graphics and point-and-click interface.
		However, LucasArts was criticized for forcing the developer Obsidian Entertainment to release the sequel too early, resulting in a significant amount of unfinished content being cut from the game and what many consider to be a disappointing and convoluted storyline with an incomplete ending.

	MobyGames - LucasArts
		LucasArts started developing adventure games in the late 1980-ies, and very soon became one of the leading adventure game developers in the world, and the only company that was able to compete in this field with Sierra.
		In the eyes of many adventure game fans, LucasArts is the greatest adventure game developer ever.

	Web Games Roundup Pt 1: Adventures at Zest Games
		Adventure games are story-driven games where the player solves puzzles to advance the narrative of the game.
		The earliest adventure games were text-only games where the player inputs commands in the form of sentences to perform actions.
		Modern adventure games can be generally categorised into 2 types: First-person perspective adventures (where you look out through your character’s eyes) which mainly focus on abstract puzzle-solving and third-person perspective adventures (where you can see your character on the screen) which mainly focus on character interaction and storyline.

	Adventure games
		Previously I had played a few odd adventure games (Hugos House of Horror?), but Monkey Island 2 really clicked (no pun intended) with me. It had the right level of pacing, puzzles not too hard, the artwork was great, hilarious and the ending was suitably bizarre.
		Because these games were all essentially 2D they lend themselves well to using a mouse, and so the interface is usually quite intuitive.
		I know a lot of games developers are trying to make their games as non-linear as possible, but this can be a very tricky thing to get right.

	Richard Leader: Bargain Bin: Curse of Monkey Island Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Curse of Monkey Island (Curse) is an adventure game.
		Most other adventure games over the years have followed in its footsteps, which had a tendency to make games easier for players to complete--so puzzles have been becoming increasingly unintuitive and illogical to restore the difficulty level, which is regrettable.
		Although the fourth game in the series, Escape from Monkey Island, took the series into the world of 3D, one would be hard pressed to say that it was an improvement over the hand drawn visuals of Curse.

		My first adventure game was some text based thing that would say "A bolt of lightning strikes you from above" when you swore at it (Zork?).
		The first RPG adventure game that really took up a lot of my life was Ultima VII, plus a few of the 'Eye of the Beholder' series.
		My first text based adventure game was called 'Aztec Tomb', but I have fonder memories of the likes of 'The Pawn', 'The Guild of Thieves', 'The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy' and especially 'The Leather Goddesses of Phobos'.
