I remember that back in those days there were just two distinctions for adventure games: text adventures and graphical adventures. The first, of course, the likes of Zork, etc., the latter anything that came with graphics, like Magnetic Scrolls, Telarium/Trillium and so on. I'd put Mystery House in the second category. The earliest games I can remember that today would fit the description of a 3D adventure because of their gameplay and use of 3D graphics in the current definition of the term are Mercenary from Novagen and Cholo from Firebird. Was there ever a special subcategory named to classify the later Sierra and Lucasfilm adventures?
