Adventure In Serenia / Wizard And The Princess |
Sierra Online / IBM |
1982 |
|
This is usually regarded as the first adventure game with color
graphics. It was definitely Sierra's first. Ultima had color graphics around
the same time, but that's an RPG. Serenia was later used as the town in
King's Quest V. It came out first on the Apple II as "The Wizard and the
Princess", and was released for the PC as Adventures in Serenia by IBM in
1982. You wander around the land of Serenia in search of a princess
imprisoned by an evil wizard. It had some cute graphics for the time, but
mainly relied on very simple situations and cliches for their puzzles. It
sold more than sixty thousand copies, a substantial sell through for the
early 1980s. Roberta Williams' next game would be an even more successful
game called King's Quest. |
