There's a multitude of places to go, secret ways of getting there, mysterious nooks and crannies that seem to have no purpose to explore, and things happen in other screens when you're not directly watching. Atari's Raiders of the Lost Ark was the next game to give that feeling.<br /><br />Haunted House and Superman have aspects of it, particularly things happening in other places, but the inability to explore in either game — Haunted House is too regular, with no nooks and crannies; Superman is too interconnected, with no indirect paths or obstacles separating rooms — hurts them on that level.<br /><br />It's nice to see Adventure appreciated. It's still my favorite Atari 2600 game, and one of my favorite games of all time.-DS-https://www.blogger.com/profile/07748711002658533401noreply@blogger.com
