Questprobe

Questprobe

"Questprobe" is the name of a trilogy of graphical adventure computer games featuring Marvel Comics characters. The three games are "Questprobe featuring The Hulk", "Questprobe featuring Spider-Man" and "Questprobe featuring The Human Torch and The Thing".

Cancelled X-Men game

The 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 1985. The partially-coded game can be found around the internet and on many fan sites.

Design

The games were designed by Scott Adams, developed by Adventure International and the first was originally released in 1984 for the Atari 800, Apple II 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.

Comic book tie-ins

A "Questprobe" comic book tie-in was also released. The events of the "Questprobe" comic book were later followed up on in the "Marvel Fanfare" and "Quasar" series.
