The Adventure Gamer

The Adventure Gamer is a popular blog, started by “Trickster”, on the graphical adventure game genre. His goal was to play through all graphical adventure games in order. “Trickster” made it through 45 games before he took a break from blogging about games and turned the blog over to his community.

As part of the transition, I have volunteered to write up a series of posts on old adventure games. This page will be an index of my work for that site.
