Back to my youth, but better!

Absolutely superb and charming game. As a once proud owner of an Atari 2600 is was great to be back in that realm. If you are reading this and thinking of getting this game I would absolutely recommend it. No glitches, no adverts, just pure fun. I felt quite emotional at the end. Fantastic!

A brilliant retro homage

Remember the classic Advenure game for the 2600?

This is a great homage to it. Brilliant retro graphics to match the original. It's like it's an updated Adventure game for 2017. 5/5

fantastic homage to fantastic game

This is a more perfect love letter to Adventure than even Ready Player One. As someone who found the original wizard’s ring and the world’s first video game Easter egg via whispernet back before the internet was a thing, I’m absolutely delighted to find this gem and wholeheartedly recommend it. It won’t pull at the heart strings of younger gamers in quite the same way, but it’s fun enough and an awesome tribute to yesteryear that I suspect they could also really enjoy it.

My favorite game as a kid

This game captures the original perfectly. Only way better. The levels are infinite, and get harder each time. At this point I have purchased all of the upgrades: speed, sword power, storage. I have over 10,000 unspendable coins. And I’m on level 129. The hardest level I’ve gotten through took me over two weeks. I love it.

chill

I’m stuck on the couch due to a back injury and I’ve really enjoyed playing this game today. The atmosphere is great, and I didn’t even grow up with the Atari.
