Graphics (G)
Some kind of graphics. This category is used when I know
that a game had graphics but I don't know what type.
Please let me know if you can help me categorize games
from this category better.
Character graphics (CG)
Pictures made up of characters. Generally horrible, but
not uncommon for a while.
Drawn graphics (DG)
Pictures drawn for each room as you enter it.
Interactive graphics (IG)
This category is a bit difficult to define. Uninvited
(ICOM) goes here, anyway. I'd like to get rid of this
category, so if you can tell which other category games
in this category fit in I'd appreciate it.
Moving character graphics (MCG)
These games have a graphical representation of yourself
that you move around the screen. Examples are later Sierra
games and LucasArts games.
Point-n-Click (PNC)
This means that you control the game by pointing at
things with the mouse, choosing alternatives from menus
or something similar.
3D (3D)
These are games with a first-person 3D view of the world
(like Doom, Quake, and similar action games).
Text input (TEXT)
This means that you control the game by entering text.
This is the standard way, and is only mentioned if it can
be used alongside PNC input.
Multiple choice (CHOICE)
This means that the game is controlled by choosing actions
from a list or menu instead of entering text freely.
Sound (SOUND)
This means that the game features some kind of sound that
isn't music.
Music (MUSIC)
This means, of course, that the game contains some kind
of music score.
Video clips (VIDEO)
This means that the game features full-motion video.
Adventureland was created by Hans
Persson and is now maintained by Stefan Meier.
