Venture is a 1981 action video game developed and published by Exidy for arcades. As a round smiley-face named Winky, the goal is to collect the treasure in each of the rooms. Winky can shoot arrows at enemies which turn into slowly disintegrating corpses when hit. Corpses are deadly to the touch. Each room has a different layout, treasure, and enemies, and some rooms have special features, such as moving walls.
A port was released as a launch title for the ColecoVision in 1982, followed by versions for the Atari 2600 and Intellivision.
