There is a fine line between "text adventures," also known as interactive fiction, and graphic adventure games. Before the advent of point-and-click adventure games such as "Monkey Island," "Gabriel Knight," or "Day of the Tentacle," developers initially experimented with creating adventure games that featured graphics but still used a text-based interface.

One company that excelled in this hybrid approach was Sierra On-Line. Sierra's pioneering work in the genre included iconic series such as "King's Quest," "Leisure Suit Larry," and "Space Quest." These games combined rich graphical environments with text commands, allowing players to interact with the game world visually while retaining the depth and complexity of text-based input.
