A trilogy of mid-80s text adventures from Scott Adams (no relation to the Dilbert guy). It's cool to see these superheroes put into the context of something other than an action game, but they still possess many of the same issues of other similar games of the era.

These were some of the first computer games I ever played, and it was amusing revising them after nearly 30 years. I remember being stumped in the Hulk game because we couldn't figure out how to escape to the chair you're tied in, and only the hint guide at the Waldenbooks in the local mall told us how to get out.

I was planned to featuring these back when Avengers; Endgame came out, but since there seem to be Marvel movies every few months anyway, timing it with Spider-Man: Far from Home was just as good.

Questprobe Featuring The Hulk

Adventure International was a developer from the late 1970s to mid-80s found by Scott Adams (no relation to the Dilbert creator) who specialized entirely in computer text adventures. Most of their titles sent the player on treasure hunts - scavenging through fantasy worlds, looting a carnival fun house, or looking for pirate booty.
