quest Sun Apr 23 2000 at 9:43:55 The correct term would probably be adventure games, but the "quest" term is much more common nowadays, probably because of Sierra's (a company which named many of it's games as "quests") popularity. In Israel, "quest" is a standard term for those. A type of computer game, where you have to play a hero who's into some special mission (catch the evil purple tentacle in Day Of The Tentacle, save your beloved in Hugo's Quest, or get laid in Leisure Suit Larry's series). On the way to your target (and game solution), you'll usually pass through many different scenes (from small rooms to distinct planets), hold up dialogs (some games just have a ready-made sequence of questions and answers as the dialog, while others allow you to select your questions).
