Adventure International was a video game developer.
Foundation
Adventure International was founded by Scott and Alexis Adams in 1978. It sold text adventure games, now commonly known as interactive fiction. Their first game, Adventureland, was the first adventure game that was sold commercially.
Adventure International UK
There was also a company called Adventure International UK, which converted the Adventure International games to computers that were popular in the United Kingdom at the time and also made some games of their own using the same interpreter used in the Adventure International games.
Closure
The company went bankrupt in 1985 as a result of the video game crash of 1983.
Aftermath
After Adventure International went bankrupt, Adventure International UK began to release games as Adventure Soft UK in 1986, Horror Soft beginning in 1989, and in 1992 it began using the name Adventure Soft.
The rights to the Adventure International games eventually reverted to Scott Adams, who released them for free as shareware through the website of Scott Adams Grand Adventures.
