Swordquest is a series of video games originally produced by Atari, Inc. in the 1980s as part of a contest, consisting of three finished games, Earthworld, Fireworld, and Waterworld, and a planned fourth game, Airworld. Each of the games came with a comic book that explained the plot, as well as containing part of the solution to a major puzzle that had to be solved to win the contest, with a series of prizes whose total value was $150,000. The series had its genesis as a possible sequel to Atari's groundbreaking 1979 title Adventure, but it developed mythology and a system of play that was unique.

  • Swordquest es una serie incompleta de videojuegos producido por Atari, Inc. en 1982. Destacaba por formar parte de un concurso con premios reales. La saga constaba de tres juegos publicados y un cuarto previsto que fue cancelado debido a la Crisis del videojuego de 1983. Cada uno de los tres juegos vino acompañado de un cómic que, no solo explicaba la historia, sino que formaba parte de la solución a un acertijo en forma de . Los jugadores que conseguían averiguar el acertijo, podían participar en una competición entre ellos en las oficinas de Atari, para optar a una serie de premios valorados en $150,000. La serie se considera como una posible secuela posible del popular videojuego de 1979 Aventura, pero desarrolló una mitología y sistema de juego únicos. Los libros de cómic estuvieron producidos por DC Cómics, escritos por Roy Thomas y Gerry Conway, y dibujados y coloreados por George Pérez y Dick Giordano. Los juegos del la serie Swordquest (junto con En busca del Arca perdida de Atari 2600) fueron algunos de los primeros intentos de combinar elementos narrativos y de lógica, representando los precursores de las aventuras gràficas. El último juego de la saga, Airworld, no vio la luz y tampoco pudo finalizar la serie de concursos que incluía un gran combate final entre los ganadores da cada uno de las concursos anteriores. (es)

The series had its genesis as a possible sequel to Atari's groundbreaking 1979 title Adventure, but it developed mythology and a system of play that was unique. The comic books were produced by DC Comics, written by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway, and drawn and inked by George Pérez and Dick Giordano. All three game box covers were illustrated by an Atari in-house illustrator, Warren Chang. A special fan club offer was provided, allowing those who wanted the game to also get a T-shirt and poster for each game. The games of the Swordquest series (along with Atari 2600 Raiders of the Lost Ark) were some of the earliest attempts to combine the narrative and logic elements of the adventure game genre with the twitch gameplay of the action genre, making them some of the very first action-adventure games. However, due to Atari's financial problems related to the video game crash of 1983, the last contest along with the grand finale contest were never held and the final game in the series, Airworld was not released. As such the contest was never completed and the current unknown fate of some of the prizes has become an urban legend in the gaming community. As part of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, a collection of Atari games for its 50th anniversary in 2022, Digital Eclipse created a version of Airworld that completes the Swordquest series.

  • Swordquest è una serie di quattro videogiochi pubblicati da Atari, Inc. tra il 1982 e il 1983 per la sua console Atari 2600. I titoli dei quattro giochi sono Earthworld, Fireworld, Waterworld ed Airworld. Ogni gioco aveva un nome ispirato ad uno dei quattro elementi, ed ognuno di essi aveva una struttura dei livelli ispirata ad una determinata filosofia. Ognuno il sequel dell'altro, la serie segue le vicende dei gemelli Tarra e Torr contro il malvagio re Tyrannus e il suo consigliere, lo stregone Konjuro. Inizialmente Swordquest fu concepito come un unico gioco sequel di Adventure (di cui riprende molti aspetti), in seguito divenne un titolo autonomo e infine una serie di quattro giochi. Ogni gioco veniva venduto insieme ad un poster e ad un fumetto DC Comics, scritto da Roy Thomas e Gerry Conway e disegnato da George Pérez e Dick Giordano. (it)
  • Swordquest — серия игр для Atari 2600, разработанная и выпущенная в 1982—1983 годах компанией Atari. Swordquest отличал конкурс, устроенный издателем, победители которого награждались дорогими призами на общую сумму 150 тысяч долларов (4 талисмана по 25 000 долларов и меч за 50 000 долларов). Всего в серии планировалось четыре игры, три из которых были выпущены: Earthworld, Fireworld, Waterworld (вышел ограниченным тиражом среди подписчиков), Airworld (релиз был отменен). Каждая игра комплектовалась красочным комиксом, нарисованным художниками Роем Томасом и Джерри Конвеем из DC Comics. 11 ноября 2022 года все три оригинальные игры Swordquest были переизданы для современных платформ в составе сборника , приуроченного к 50-летию бренда Atari. Дополнительно к ним была выпущена четвёртая, недостающая игра Airworld созданная студией Digital Eclipse. (ru)
  • 寻剑(Swordquest)是一个未完成的电子游戏系列作品。这个游戏由雅达利发行,是一次比赛的一部分。这个游戏计划中分为四部曲,最终只完成了三部。每个游戏都附带一本DC制作的漫画,玩家需要在游戏中找到漫画中隐藏的单词的线索,然后从漫画中找到单词并想办法拼出正确的句子。找到句子后玩家可以将结果寄到雅达利,每一作游戏找到答案的赢家都有机会获得由黄金等昂贵物料制成的奖品(每一作游戏只设立一个赢家的位置),并有机会进军总决赛。总决赛的赢家可以获得纯金打造的黄金剑。寻剑的游戏设计一定程度上影响了后来的“动作冒险游戏”的发展。 (zh)
