Adventure Games was an American game company that produced role-playing games and game supplements.

History

In the early 1980s Dave Arneson established his own game company, Adventure Games – staffed largely by Arneson's friends, most of whom were also members of a Civil War reenactment group – that produced miniatures games, as well as a new edition of his own Adventures in Fantasy role-playing game (1981).^{[1]: 39 [2]} The company also put out about a half-dozen Tékumel related books, due to Arneson's friendship with M. A. R. Barker.^[1]: 39 Adventure Games was profitable, but Arneson found the workload to be excessive and finally sold the company to Flying Buffalo.^[3] Flying Buffalo picked up the rights to Adventure Games in 1985; because Arneson owned a portion of Flying Buffalo, he let them take care of the rest of the company's stock and IP when he shut the company down.^[1]: 39
