Developed by APh Technological Consulting and published by Mattel Electronics, Adventure arrived on the Intellivision as an action game.

It is part of the Dungeons & Dragons series; on the Intellivision you can also try Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The series also appears on other systems with Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun (Genesis) and Eye of the Beholder (SNES). APh Technological Consulting also made Basketball, NASL Soccer and Star Strike for the Intellivision.

Adventure supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the Intellivision hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you prefer slow, thoughtful games over reflex tests

What playing Adventure is like

Action games test reflexes and nerve. Expect fast enemies, tight controls and stages you clear by reacting quickly and learning enemy patterns.

Tip for newcomers: Retro action games are often short but tough. Treat early deaths as practice runs; every attempt teaches you where the next threat comes from.
