This question has been asked before. And responses aren't always in agreement. My posit is that the first "adventure" game was Star Wars. I can't even call it text-based. But it was an adventure. It was available on cassette. We, and by we I mean the Heath Company, supplied it with any purchase of a DEC computer kit. This was mid-to-late 1970s. I was the advertising manager of the retail store division at that time.

I've been away from the forum for a while. I am glad to see that things are up and running. For more than a month I was unable to log on without timing out at every mouse click. Kudos to whomever solved the problem.
