Line 8: Adventure games are among the earliest video game genres. Their line descends from the original ''[[Colossal Cave Adventure\|Colossal Cave]]'' game (also known colloquially as ''ADVENTURE''), written by Will Crowther and Don Woods in the 1970s, based on the Mammoth Cave system in Kentucky, and its immediate successor, ''Dungeon'', which was later marketed commercially as the ''[[Zork]]'' trilogy. Adventure games remained one of the dominant genres throughout the 1980s until the mid-90s, as they tended to be far less demanding on computer resources than their action-oriented brethren. [[Sierra]] and [[~~Lucas Arts~~LucasArts]] became the big players in graphical adventure games. [[Infocom]], on the other hand, was the dominant force for textual adventure games, which they marketed as "[[Interactive Fiction]]", which has now become the term for that genre. Most commenters claim that the Adventure genre is in its final death-throes, and [[Take Your Time\|has been for almost twenty years]], since the original Interactive Fiction genre ceased to be a viable commercial entity. Adventure games are still produced in approximately the same numbers as before, but their market share has dropped considerably. However, elements of Adventure games have migrated into other genres, resulting in the highly successful [[Action Adventure]] genre. In fact, due to the dearth of "true" Adventure games on the commercial market, the [[Action Adventure]] genre is sometimes just called the Adventure genre. This would be essentially where adventure-themed games such as the ''[[Uncharted]]'' series and especially ''[[Another World (video game)\|Another World]]'' would go, as they are not considered adventure games due to their use of combat.
