Trivia

This is the same game as Sierra's "Wizard and the Princess", just a different title. Adventure in Serenia was actually written in 1980 but was not published by IBM until 1982. (There are two copyright dates on the disk label.) It is generally regarded as the first commercial interactive fiction game to incorporate color graphics.

The game also exists for IBM under the "Wizard and the Princess" title, published by Sierra (who were known as On-Line Systems at the time).
