Retroulette #34: Adventure

The very best thing about games in the Classic Age of gaming are the straight-to-the-point titles. You could name a game Racing, because there was no confusion yet as to which racing game you're talking about. Racing is the one where you race. If you wanted to play a baseball game, you got Baseball, and if you wanted your child to hate you, you got E.T.


Or you could just hit them. Whatever is fastest.

Imagine the same principle applied to today's games. Halo is Alien Shooter, Call of Duty is Foreigner Shooter, Bioshock is Pretentious Shooter, and Katamari Damacy is Acid Trip.

Today's game is Adventure for the Atari 2600, and it is the game where you go on an adventure.
