Adventureland was a text adventure game by Adventure International.

It was the first adventure game that was sold commercially. The company went bankrupt in 1985 as a result of the video game crash of 1983. The rights to the game eventually reverted to Scott Adams, who re-released it for free as shareware.

A demonstration version of this game was also released as the Mini Adventure Sampler.
