This company have greatly confused me, mainly because in other countries their games were produced by different companies, for example the 'Mysterious Adventure' series were done by Digital Fantasia in the US, and still bear the DF mark on the Beeb versions, and they also let US Gold publish a few of their later games, but they are best known for porting and distributing the Adventure International Games to the UK computers, and they were for a time known as Adventure International UK, but changed that when the Adventure International US went bankrupt. They continue to produce excellent software, although on the PC nowadays, and they have a website at: http://www.adventuresoft.com
Please contact me if you have any additional information about the company or its games!

An interesting game in which you have to collect the jewels and find the princess who has been taken by the evil wizard. It's pretty standard adventure gaming stuff, and is put together much better than most, definitly worth a play if you like this sort of thing, but if you want real class then check out the Level 9 games.

This is the first in a line of adventures created for Marvel comics, this one features you as the Incredible Hulk, and you have to, as usual get away from the people trying to hunt you down. Even though this game still lacks good description, it does have a nice storyline.

The second questprobe game, this time featuring Spiderman. You have to collect gems to score points, its very annoying though because of the sparseness of the descriptions the puzzles are hard to solve and you die a lot without any warning!

The third in the series, this features the four Marvel superheroes. Dr Doom has kidnapped Alicia Masters and you must free her. The best feature of this game is that you actually control two of the superheroes, and to switch you just type a command. This is quite an impressive feat, and it works well as it adds an extra element to the game.

A game by Brian Howarth about the famouse Robin Hood. The game opens with you trapped in a dungeon and you have to get out. It is quite a good tale, the Robin Hood myth is very open to such a game. Not really one of the best of the Adventuresoft games though.
