Review Adventure-Archiv (German)

On this pages you find in alphabetical form short descriptions (german) of more than 1000 adventure games, each with box- and screenshots, links to developers, publishers, reviews, walkthroughs, home- and fanpages in english and german.

You can find textadventures with and without graphics, 1st person puzzle orientated games like Myst, 3rd person object- and/or dialogue orientated games like Monkey Island or Sherlock Holmes, game compilations, advertising games, free- and shareware games (use menu-link Download), adventures which contain action, roleplaying or arcade elements with the adventure/puzzle part definitely overbalancing.

Not subject of this site are action-adventures, like Tomb Raider, where action is the main-thing or role playing games (RPG's) like Arcatera. Also not to be found at Adventure-Archive are adventure games which can only be played online (except some freeware games).

The descriptions are based on games I had access to - a lot of different versions may exist with variations in look and outfit.

I would be glad about hints, tips, questions, adds and opinions !
Please send emails to webmaster@adventure-archiv.com or simply use my guestbook. If you find a broken link please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you are seeking similar games you can find help at  Categories.

Please use the translator link at the top of the page to translate German text or whole webpages into English or vice versa. The results sometimes may sound funny but it's worth a try.
