Adventure Archive

A museum-style archive of interactive fiction history, organised around heritage exhibits, creator and company records, oral history, technical context, preservation work, and carefully structured catalogue pages. This is a historical resource, not a download site.

Oral history

Biographical records

People

Creator profile pages connecting biographies, interviews, exhibits, and related archive material.

Organisation records

Companies

Company-level pages for studios, labels, and software houses represented across the archive.

Chronology

Chronological routes through releases, creators, platforms, and wider adventure game history.

Technical context

Engines

An engine and systems explorer covering authoring tools, interpreters, formats, and development context.

Platform access

Emulation

Historical and preservation-focused context for legacy systems, emulators, interpreters, and studying old software responsibly.

Preservation practice

Curatorial note

The Adventure Archive is being rebuilt as a clearer, more museum-style structure. Some areas are already developed into fuller exhibits, while others are being expanded into deeper research sections over time.
