Questprobe: Featuring Human Torch and the Thing
Developed by:
Adventure International
Scott Adams created Adventure International in the wake of the success of his text adventure games published by the TRS-80 Software Exchange (later The Software Exchange). It released all his classic adventures along with some new ones, plus a line of games by other designers, notably the "Other Venture" series. Amongst the later Text adventures was the Questprobe series, based on Marvel characters.
The company went out of business in 1985 following the general decline of text adventures in the market.

Description
You are in charge of the main character[s]...Any action, response, or behaviour
that the character performs comes from you.
Everything that happens in the adventure affects your character.
In a normal adventure, your character has all of the strengths and weaknesses
of a normal human being.
He can eat, drink, fight, and get killed just like a normal person would in the same
situation. In the QuestProbe series, your character is one of the characters in the
Marvel Comics. Your character will have all of the special powers normally associated with
that character in the comic book.
Human Torch, for example, has the ability to throw flame and fly, while Spider-Man can cast
webs and climb walls {or even the ceiling].
You may move through the many locales described in the adventure {limited, of course,
by the barriers and obstacles imposed upon you by the 'environment']. You control
what to do in any given situation, using your wits to succeed.
