Adventure games tell the story of its character or characters on a literal adventure. An adventure game is usually plot-driven, in the sense that the most distinguishing aspect of an adventure game is that, perhaps outside of minigames, the entire game follows a single uniform theme and has few or no screen/perspective changes (unlike, most apparently, RPGs). This serves to focus the player on the singular task of his or her adventure.
Vectrex games that fall into the Adventure genre include I, Cyborg and Dark Tower.
