Despite Adventure being a highly ambitious title released before the discovery of bank switching, the game had enough free RAM space in its cartridge (15 out of 128 bytes) to fit 3 extra dragons - though Warren Robinett chose not to as he thought the gameplay was fine as is, something he compared to what is now known as game balancing.

There exists a rare situation in Adventure where, after being eaten by a dragon, the bat will pick up the dragon, and carry it around the game world with you inside its stomach. This was not an intentional Easter egg or gag, but rather a result of the dragons and bat in Adventure being coded to explore the game world at all times rather than despawning.

Adventure was heavily inspired by Colossal Cave Adventure, a text-based game for many early personal computers.
