I first got this game on a ColecoVision and absolutely loved it. The mixture of "dungeon crawling" and simple, fast arcade action was hard to beat. Unfortunately, the ColecoVision version was a bit difficult when precision movement was required, thanks to the awful controllers which some lunatic over at Coleco decided to inflict on the public.

I m a firm believer in the philosophy that Just because a game is hard doesn t make it bad. But what most gamers forget is that the opposite is true as well, that just because a game is easy doesn t make it good. Games with simple tasks and challenges aren t such much bad as they are annoying. Venture is a good example of this, since it s a game that has some challenge to it, but once I realized I had cleared it in just a few minutes on the first try - I felt cheated.
