Many hybrid titles exist that feature both action and adventure, and even RPG elements, these titles are known under a different category altogether: Action-Adventure Games and RPG-Adventure Games respectively. Although it is confusing to a degree, it is best to note that the Adventure genre is distinct from RPGs, as the former lacks the emphasis on combat, resulting in the absence of numeric mechanics, skill systems, and other factors. In this genre, the player assumes the role of the story's protagonist, who is usually the hero of the story and features collection or manipulation of various objects and items that will assist in the journey or quest. Today, this genre is defined to have elements of puzzle-solving, problem-solving, narrative story-telling or interactive story, and exploration. JustAdventures, and AdventureGamers are two of the most popular sites dedicated to the discussion and review of the myriad of titles falling into this genre. Colossal Cave Adventure, more commonly known simply as "Adventure", pioneered a playstyle that was so unique during that time that it was imitated countless times and thus creating its own genre that we now know.

In that classic title, the player is tasked with two things finding the hidden wealth inside a mysterious cave, and going back out alive.
