There is an adventure game for everyone here, as I've made sure to include some games that offer one, or more, of the following:

• Browser-based

Adventure Quest is a free online adventure game that will run on most computers. It is a browser-based adventure game where you battle monsters in turn-based combat. You can go on quests, learn magic spells, have a pet to go with you on your travels, and tons more! This anime-style game is great for fans of the genre, younger gamers, or those who like the slower-pace of turn-based games. It looks a little cheesy, but still can be quite addicting.

• Browser-based
• Games for younger players
• Turn-based

Free Realms is a very impressive game when it comes to freebies. The game is from Sony Online Entertainment and the graphics on Free Realms are top-notch.

Its bright, cartoon-style world gives it a very fun and upbeat feeling and you can play with other gamers across the globe. The game was designed with all-ages in mind starting from about the "tween" age and on and can be a great game for the whole family to get involved in.

Learn skills, go on quests, level up- and watch your back for other players who might attack you at any moment. Runescape will turn you in to a sword-wielding dragon-slayer!
