The Adventurer

Bi-yearly video game magazine published by LucasArts

The Adventurer was a video game magazine that was published bi-yearly by LucasArts from Fall 1990 until Winter 1996.  Due to the increasing popularity of adventure games LucasArts decided to publish their own gaming magazine to provide gamers a publication where they could read about upcoming LucasArts games and interviews with the development team. 

The magazine was distributed free of charge as a marketing opportunity for the video game developer and was often included within game boxes.  Each magazine featured a Sam & Max cartoon comic strip that sometimes parodied Lucasfilm properties such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones.  Along with the publication of the magazine, LucasArts also published selected articles on their website.
