Action-Adventure Games

This group collects the Interactive and Networked Media Landmarks subcategory's members whose own description names them an action-adventure, adventure, survival-horror, stealth-action or text-adventure game (exploration and combat or puzzle-solving combined in a single narrative-driven title), spanning Colossal Cave Adventure and Zork's origins of the genre through Metroid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, the mainline Legend of Zelda series and Tomb Raider. Fighting games (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II) are filed here too, the closest fit among this subcategory's genre groups since the report proposes no separate fighting-game category.
