Adventure Online Games

David



An adventure game is a type of video game characterized by investigation, exploration, puzzle-solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex-based challenges. Adventure online games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy.

Nearly all adventure online games are designed for a single player, since the heavy emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult. It is seen that adventure online games are more popular among the masses than other video games. The adventure online games involve issues like puzzle-solving and also exploration of various exciting ones where the players have lot of opportunities to take active participation.

For a greater part of the 1980's adventure games have been popular as compared to other types of games. Most adventure games come in the form of computer games although it's possible to find console-based versions these days. Although, adventure games were very popular in the 1980's, this popularity quickly declined in the early 90's when the Action games became the "rage". As a result it was not financially sound to create and market them when people had no interest. The advent of console game platforms and MMORPG has not helped either. Nevertheless popular adventure online games like Syberia and Syberia II have been published both for the PC and Xbox.
