If you grew up playing computer games in the 80′s and early 90′s, then you no doubt have played some of the old Adventure Games. King’s Quest and Zork were some of the most famous, but there were hundreds of them. Sadly, adventure games haven’t held up well against the likes of Doom and Half-life, and have just about faded from gaming store shelves.

Step in the world of the “hobbyist”. I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about ScummVM for getting those old games running again on new hardware, but I found another great option: Adventure Game Studio. A free tool to let you recreate those adventure game classics, and even create new ones. As their download section shows, there’s dozens (if not hundreds) of completed free games there to check out, including my personal favorite right now: Stargate Adventure.
