We have formed this project to better organize information in articles related to Adventure games. We want to cover the areas of games, game series, technologies specific to the genre, companies who produced adventures games, and significant fan games / groups. This page contains our suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and/or see the to-do list.

There is already a considerable number of articles on Adventure Games on Wikipedia, of varying levels of quality and depth. These range from in depth articles such as Sierra On-Line, down to stubs of the lowest quality. This project seeks to marshall the efforts of interested editors to improve and unify these articles and to raise the overall standard of Adventure Game coverage on Wikipedia. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

  1. Abb401 (talk · contribs) - Im a rapid assesment machine AG's happen to be a hobby count me in. PS: im a big fan of open source MUD's
  2. Klytos (talk · contribs) (My goal is to bring some order and encyclopedic perspective to these articles. Adventure games rule!)
  3. Cromag (talk · contribs) – Count me in. There's a great discrepancy between the quality of various adventure game articles on Wikipedia and I'd be happy to contribute. And yes, the Sierra On-line article desperately needs help.
  4. SideshowCris (talk · contribs) - I'm down. Adventure games do rule and I'll edit what I know.
  5. SkyWalker (talk · contribs) - I love adventure games. I will do my very best to improve the articles.

  7. Wormsie (talk · contribs)
  8. burns flipper (talk · contribs)
  9. Paaerduag (talk · contribs) - I have worked tirelessly creating and perfecting all of the Agatha Christie series articles, and the Voyage: Inspired by Jules Verne article, from scratch single-handedly, and am extremely proud that thanks to my efforts FA stars finally grace this page.
  10. Duckingham (talk · contribs) I've always loved adventure games. I spent quite a bit of time playing and studying the dynamics behind text adventures & King's Quest back in the transition era between the two types, plus many hours in the first few Myst games, as well as the novels based on the series.
  11. QuagmireDog (talk · contribs) This is not a genre of games I've played for a decade, but I'd like to help the project find its feet as there's a lot of adventure game fans out there and WP should cater to them.
  12. Green451 (talk · contribs) I'll see what I can do in terms of the Myst series as well as anything else that I can do.
  13. Snowfreak91287 (talk · contribs)
  14. Stabby Joe (talk · contribs) - I've been mostly expanding and improving reception sections but have also written roughly 80% of the Overlord article, with advice from senior members, single handedly brought it from a Start class to GA class.
  15. philbuck222 (talk · contribs)
  16. Lord mortekai (talk · contribs) would like to pay homage to an excellent and underrated genre by improving WP's coverage of it. He recently beat The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text game and is currently playing and/or attempting to render functional Robot City, Gabriel Knight 1, Gabriel Knight 2, Broken Sword 1, The Neverhood and Dragon Warrior 2 (on GBC).
  17. Douglasnicol (talk · contribs) Have been playing point and click adventure games for many years and would like to contribute
  18. Mukake (talk · contribs) I'm hoping to contribute to pages on classic adventure and interactive fiction games as well as newer ones that seem to be popping up on the Nintendo DS, such as Hotel Dusk: Room 215.
  19. Pacific Miles (talk · contribs) - My goal is to cleanup and generally improve the grammatical content of Adventure video games, starting with the Monster Hunter series.
