Venture is an action maze game developed by Exidy and published by CBS Electronics for the ColecoVision console in 1983. It is a home adaptation of Exidy’s 1981 arcade game, featuring a hero who explores a series of dungeons filled with monsters and treasures.
Players control the character Winky as he navigates different rooms within dungeons, collecting treasures while avoiding or eliminating enemies. The game features multiple levels, each with increasing difficulty and unique enemy types. Players must plan movement carefully, as contact with enemies causes loss of life.
The ColecoVision version recreates the arcade’s colorful and detailed graphics, with smooth character animations and distinct dungeon layouts. Sound effects provide feedback on enemy encounters and treasure collection, contributing to the immersive dungeon-crawling experience.
