Great game.
Adventure was and is my all-time favorite game. I've often wondered why nobody ever tried to do a remake or knock-off of it. I've enjoyed this game very much. It has the feel of the old game, with a lot of cool enhancements, more types of items to use, and more types of monsters. I love it. My only complaint is that there are no real instructions. At first, I had no idea how to fight with the sword, but I eventually figured it out. Awesome game!

A Wonderful Update to Adventure
I had a real blast playing through this game. I used to play Adventure for the Atari 2600 for hours upon hours on end, and this is the first tribute game I've seen since that gets the simple yet elegant nature of the structure. The random dungeons makes the game go on as long as you want to keep playing. Two minor quibbles... One no cloud save so playing on multiple devices messes up Game Center tracking and acheivements. Second, the antagonistic comments from the "adults" in the game seem mean-spirited and without real context. The story isn't really the reason to play this game. Since you'll spend most of your time wandering the mazes and avoiding/slaying beasties, it's not enough to deduct from the rating or reduce the amount of fun you'll have playing this gem! Thank you to the two devs that made this wonderful treat!

Atari 2600 -- the way you remember it
Most folks who grew up playing with their Atari 2600 tend it remember the games through the fog of nostalgia. Many of us who make the mistake of playing them as adults realize how limited and, well, awful they really were, especially compared to the NES classics that followed in the next decade.
With pixa, the Electronic Toy Company has pulled off a small miracle: they've created an homage to 2600 games that plays the way you remember them, not the way they actually were. It's a witty game, full of clever nods to first-generation consoles, even as it delivers a thoroughly contemporary experience -- one that is well suited to the iOS platform, to boot.
Did I mention that it's a blast? :-).

🌟Truly AMAZING💫
👾👾👾 I grew up playing Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision.....etc. 👾👾👾
My favorite game on the 2600 besides pitfall.....ADVENTURE!!! It was the first "RPG" of it's time......and it kept me and my friends enthralled for hours.....days......weeks......
The first Easter Egg was in Adventure......the secret room where the game creator did something that was unheard of at the time......he put his name in his game!!! Warren Robinett.
It was brilliant at the time.....still is today!! I'm assuming that is why "Hero" or the square you control is named 💥Warren💥
Anyway......incredible game......the attention to detail of how gaming back in the very early 80's is recreated....it's just amazing. ✨👾✨
Scan Lines, the rounded TV, pixelated graphics, monotone sounds.....it's all there!!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this absolute treasure!!!!! It's worth much more then the $.99 they are asking.....you just can't put a price tag on nostalgia. 🌟🌟 👾👾 🌟🌟

If you have fond memories of the Atari 2600...
Less than 10 minutes in, and I'm loving it! I grew up with Atari 2600, and so far this has captured the feeling of it perfectly. You have the rounded corners of the TV, the faint scanlines of the CRT, and a slight fuzz to everything when the colors are bright.
It controls well, and the humor is snarky but I like it. I'm only two trophies in so I can't say how long the game will last, but there are 24 cases for trophies, and at this point there's no telling how difficult some of them are going to be to get.
If you have any fond memories of the 2600, or the Atari Adventure game, I highly recommend you spend the $.99 to get this.
