Adventure

Le jeu

Adventure for the Atari 2600, released in 1980 and created by Warren Robinett, is widely regarded as the first action-adventure video game ever made — and a direct ancestor of modern fantasy and RPG titles. Players take control of a tiny square hero tasked with retrieving the stolen Enchanted Chalice and returning it to the golden castle. Along the way, they must navigate mazes, unlock castles, and battle dragons using the world’s simplest sword icon. Despite its primitive graphics, Adventure introduced revolutionary concepts such as item-based puzzles, an open world, and even the very first hidden “Easter egg” in gaming — Robinett’s secret signature room. It remains a landmark in game design, proving that imagination and gameplay depth could thrive even on the humble Atari 2600. ATARI
