Role-playing games let you take place of the hero character of the game and end up having to save the world or worlds. In Adventure you take the place of the little yellow dot and you are in a maze of many hallways and rooms. The main purpose of the game is to find and kill the three dragons of the maze. This game was really fun and it was a pretty good selling game for Atari. The game also had the first Easter egg in it.

That is partly because the graphics that Atari promised were never shown. .
