You find yourself locked in a bedroom, but don't know how you got here. You also don't remember who you are. You must find a way to get from one area to another through doors that are locked in various ways. Hopefully one day you will find your way out and learn just what happened to you.
This game requires the Macromedia Flash Player
True Hero by Ian Williams is a free on-line Text Adventure / RPG game which can be played by anyone with an Internet connection and Internet Explorer.
In the game, you play the role of a wandering adventurer who comes across double-dealing and some combat in the Great Marsh.
The game starts like this:
You are standing amongst the first stinking pools of the Great Marsh, through which a rough track struggles northwards. If you find the prospect of the Great Marsh a little daunting, you should go south and find an easier profession.
Movement through the game is effected by clicking on likely-looking words in the location descriptions. For example, you would click on northwards to go that way, or an object word to see a description of it.
Give it a try. You might be surprised how addictive text adventures can be.
In order to play The Road to El Dorado you need the Flash Player by Macromedia. It's a really cute mini game that is being offered as part of the promotion of the DreamWorks movie by the same name. But strangely enough the website does not promote a new children's game called Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado, which is also based on the movie. Believe it or not folks, this game, which adults are also enjoying according to some reviews, was developed by Revolution Software, the makers of our beloved Broken Sword games. Wouldn't it be nice if it could grow into a series equivalent to the 'Monkey Island' series? 
Banja "is the first community adventure game in 3D flash evolving in real time and exclusively on the web. Explore Itland, an isle in the middle of the web, as you attempt to help Banja keep the magical island pure and vibrant... and discover with every episode new games, places, music and surprises. Itland is a place where life is pleasant, in harmony with nature and the elements. The air is pure, the sea is limpid, and the wind distils soft music everywhere. Still spared from the mishaps of the modern world, Itland is a unique spot with a peaceful atmosphere, inhabited by the ancient Fums Fums as well as various others who have been shipwrecked here over the years. Your mission is to discover Itland and live in harmony with its inhabitants. You'll meet Zelia, Sydney, and many other Itlanders who will help you to progress in your quest."
In order to play Leo's Great Day and Leo's Great Day II you need the Flash Player by Macromedia. They are short and sweet games, but also quite clever.
In order to play the Tower of Hanoi Puzzle you need the Flash Player by Macromedia. Can be changed in difficulty by indicating how many layers you want. The object is to move all the layers from the left column to the right column stacked with largest on the bottom to smallest on the top (like it is on the left when you start .....simple, eh? Hah!). You cannot ever stack a larger block on a smaller block. This will give Adventure Gamers some practice for those appearing in adventure games like 'Legend of Kyrandia, Book 2: Hand of Fate'. To properly play this game, change your browser to full screen.
These can be downloaded and played on your hard drive. Enjoy!
Beneath A Steel Sky
by Revolution
- CD Version (67 M)
- Floppy Version (7.3 M)
"After the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy setting of Revolution’s first game, 'Lure of the Temptress', Revolution decided to go down a completely different avenue with its second adventure game 'Beneath a Steel Sky', that of Science Fiction. A bleak vision of the future was imagined, where mind control and medical science combined forces to repress the populace. Leading comic artist, Dave Gibbons, joined the design team to visualize this desperate landscape. The result, released in 1994, was the cult classic 'Beneath a Steel Sky'.
Beneath a Steel Sky was produced for Amiga and PC but is no longer available for purchase.
In August 2003, 'Beneath a Steel Sky' was made available for free download and is now classed as freeware. The sources and resource files are available from SCUMMVM Using this new engine, 'Beneath a Steel Sky' can be played on XP, MacOS, Linux, Amiga and pocketPC. Revolution extends its thanks to the SCUMMVM team for all their hard work in bringing the game back to life. Enjoy!"
This is a traditional, 3rd person, point & click adventure, with a sci-fi plot. You play Susan Gant, a young and curious newspaper reporter living in a western city sometime in the near future. One day you accidentally stumble upon a conspiracy of monumental proportions: in a bid for power, several groups are plotting to use something that will totally change society as you know it. You must stop them, even if it costs you your own life!
A full length game, with approximately 90 different scenes to explore, 40 dialogues, and 80 inventory items. Highly rated by all those who have played it. We enjoyed it very much.
This game was developed using the Adventure Games Studio which is both free and easy to use.
"Lure of the Temptress was Revolution’s very first adventure game and work began on it in 1989, even before Revolution’s inception as an actual games development company. From the start their aim was to consider the contemporary adventures of the day and then bring something new to the genre. From this came the Virtual Theatre engine. VT allowed in-game characters to wander around the gameworld independently of each other, living their own lives and doing their own thing. Another feature allowed the player to give direct orders to helper characters (in this case a character named 'Ratpouch'), who would then go off to perform the task. These technology concepts were certainly unique, though Revolution was not sure how to develop them further in subsequent games. Nevertheless, the result was a quirky and entertaining adventure game that kicked off Revolution’s fondness for characterization and in-game humor."

" King's Quest 1: Quest for the Crown, a revolutionary game designed by Roberta Williams and released in 1984, epitomizes the adventure gaming experience. It was the first of its kind, the game that started graphical adventure gaming on the PC. It allowed the player to interact in an entirely original 2.5D world, a groundbreaking concept that was so popular that it was followed by seven sequels and made Sierra famous. In the early 1990's, Sierra released a remake of the original King's Quest game with newer technology and graphics, but it was a total market failure, so it is highly unlikely that Sierra will ever try to update it again. Consequently, the people at Tierra Entertainment (Anonymous Game Developers) decided to take matters into their own hands and have remade it themselves, all for no pay or credit, only hoping to convince Sierra with the renewed interest in the game that it would be worthwhile for them to market the good old adventure games again."
During the first year nearly half a million copies of their remake was downloaded! A separate voicepack is also available to go with the game. Highly acclaimed by those who have played it. Click HERE to read our Review of the Sierra 1990 remake of the game.

" King's Quest II was the sequel to the original King's Quest game designed by Roberta Williams. Many people felt that this was the game in the series most in need of an upgrade, thinking that the puzzles were illogical and the storyline was too sparse. In addition, the graphics in the original, which were impressive for its time, are now painfully outdated. Many modern computers can no longer run the original game with sound, and it is no longer available in stores.
Consequently the Anonymous developers at Tierra Entertainment now offer this King's Quest II+ VGA remake, with upgraded graphics and interface of the original King's Quest game, but also with added storyline, puzzles, art, music, atmosphere, depth, and culture." They have also just added a voicepack for this game to their website, but you must have the latest version (2.0) of their game to use it. The whole adventure gaming world is heralding this excellent remake. Click HERE to read our Review of Sierra's original 1985 game.
When some gold starts mysteriously vanishing from Megabank and the RGB can't solve the case, they finally get desperate and call in a fortuneteller to ask for help. And she chooses you, Mark Hooper, a typical 16-year-old teenager, as the one who will be able to solve the mystery.
This is a 2D, 3rd person, point and click game with inventory and dialogue. First published in 1994 and sold as shareware, it was released to the public as freeware in 1999 because of outdated graphics. An entertaining and humorous game with many ingenious puzzles that is a lot of fun to play. Be forewarned that this is a DOS game and may require to be played in DOS Mode rather than under the DOS Prompt.
Night of the Hermit
by Roy Lazarovich
Night of the Hermit can be downloaded from the Adventure Games Studio Website "One day, while Herman Toothrot ponders his fate on Monkey Island, a message in a bottle shows up saying that his grandfather has died and left him his big mansion on Badger Island, somewhere in the Caribbean. So with visions of starting a new life, Herman packs his few belongings and sets out to claim his inheritance. But the thing about bottle mail is that it's slow, very slow. So by the time Herman gets to Badger Island, he finds that someone claimed the mansion years ago, and turned it into the sleazy Crippled Badger Motel. Herman decides to spend everything that he has left (which is 12 dollars, 45 cents, and some moss) for one night at the motel, determined to find a way to reclaim what is rightfully his. And this is his story..."
