Ever think about typing in “Adventure Game” into Wikipedia and seeing what came up? I never really thought about it until just now, so I gave it a try and well… what do you know? There is an entire article about adventure gaming to read about!. Not only do we get the definition of an adventure game, but we also get to read all about the history of adventure games!

SO FREAKING NERDY. I mean, just check out this definition:

This article is about the video game genre. For the British children’s television series, see The Adventure Game.
An adventure game is a type of video game characterized by investigation, exploration, puzzle-solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex-based challenges. The term originates from the 1970s game Adventure,[1][2] and retains a narrow definition based on the style of gameplay, and not the theme or subject matter (unlike adventure films and adventure novels).

This is definitely the coolest wiki entry ever!
