Half a century of adventures, era by era.

No graphics: the player types commands and a parser tries to understand them. Born on university mainframes, brought home by Infocom.
6 gamesSTUDIO: Will Crowther · Don Woods. ENGINE: FORTRAN · PDP-10.
Will Crowther, a programmer and caver, recreated Kentucky's Mammoth Cave in text. Don Woods expanded it in 1977 with treasures and fantasy. It is the direct ancestor of the whole genre.
The parser understood two-word commands such as GET LAMP. The magic word XYZZY became an eternal in-joke among programmers.
More informationSTUDIO: MIT · Infocom. ENGINE: MDL · Z-machine.
Four MIT students built an underground world with a parser that understood full sentences. In 1979 they founded Infocom and sold it in three parts from 1980.

More informationSTUDIO: Adventure International · Scott Adams. ENGINE: Scott Adams.

A Stellar Patrol ensign is stranded on an abandoned planet. His companion is Floyd, a childlike, endearing robot.
Floyd's death is one of the first moments in a video game that made players cry.
