List of Adventure Games by year

This list attempts to list every Adventure Game ever published by year. If the same game was published several times (e.g. in different countries) the first year of publication is to be chosen. Significantly modified versions of games however, including versions for new systems, can be listed separately. Within the entries for a year the games are sorted alphabetically.

Games which are unfinished don't belong here. Instead they should be listed in the List of Adventure Games in development.
