Adventure in Serenia is a pioneering 1980 adventure game developed by On-Line Systems for DOS. Originally known as Wizard and the Princess on other platforms, this early Sierra classic tasks you with rescuing Princess Priscilla from the evil wizard Harlin. It stands out as one of the first adventure games to combine a classic text parser interface with vivid illustrations, laying the groundwork for the graphic adventure genre.
How to play
You explore the world and solve puzzles by typing two-word commands (like “GO NORTH” or “GET ROCK”) and pressing Enter.

Game is controlled by the same keys that are used to playing under MS DOS. For fullscreen press ‘Right Alt’ + ‘Enter’. |
Tips
- Draw a map on paper as you explore; the desert section is a notorious maze where every screen looks similar.
- Keep your commands simple and direct (verb-noun format), as the early parser vocabulary is quite limited.
