The three games are Questprobe featuring The Hulk, Questprobe featuring Spider-Man and Questprobe featuring The Human Torch and The Thing. DesignThe games were designed by Scott Adams, developed and published by Adventure International and the first was originally released in 1984 for the Atari 8-bit family, Apple II, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 with the sequels being published each following year. The original plan was for a series of twelve games, but Adventure International's bankruptcy in 1985 brought a rapid and premature end to the line. The manual of Questprobe featuring the Hulk credits John Romita Sr., Mark Gruenwald and Kem McNair with creating the art; however, it is not clear if this is the in-game art, or the artwork in the manual. The manual feature quite detailed images. After this first title in the series, Scott Adams did a major upgrade to his adventure game engine. Because of this, Questprobe featuring The Hulk was much rougher than the subsequent titles in the series. It could only handle two word directions at a time and understood very few terms. The second Questprobe adventure which featured Spiderman improved on the "verb noun" command interface of The Hulk and allowed fuller sentence inputs. The title also incorporated improved graphics.[1] Games
In addition, a compilation entitled Adventure Series 13+ was released by Tex-Comp in 1984 for the TI-99/4A.[2] Cancelled X-Men gameThe fourth title in the series was to include the X-Men. This game was partly coded by Scott Adams but never saw the light of day as a published game, as Adventure International became bankrupt during its development in 1986.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} Comic book tie-insA Questprobe comic book tie-in was also released. Originally intended as a 12-issue miniseries, this series was canceled after issue #3 (November 1985) due to Adventure International's bankruptcy.[3] The story intended for issue #4, featuring the X-Men, was published in Marvel Fanfare #33 (July 1987).[4] The events of the Questprobe comic book were later followed up on in the Quasar series.
