Adventureland is a text adventure video game for microcomputers,[1] released by Scott Adams in 1978. The game has no plot[2] but simply involves searching for thirteen lost artifacts in a fantasy setting. Its success led Adams to form Adventure International,[3] which went on to publish thirteen similar games in the Adventure series, each in different settings.
