Venture (TV series)

Venture is a weekly Canadian business television series that aired on CBC Television from 1985 to 2007. The show focused mostly on business documentaries, but also aired business-related news pieces. In the beginning, Venture was hosted by Patrick Watson, who previously hosted the controversial but wildly popular Sunday evening news program This Hour has Seven Days in the 1960s.

More recently, the program was hosted by Robert Scully. Its most recent host was Dianne Buckner.

Venture's more recent special features are documentary pieces called Back to the Floor, in which a chief executive officer works at an entry-level job within their own company for a day.

CBC announced the cancellation of Venture on 4 April 2007. Episodes were broadcast on Sundays until 2 September 2007.

Venture (video game)

Venture is a 1981 fantasy-themed arcade game by Exidy. It was ported to the ColecoVision, Atari 2600, and Intellivision home systems.

Gameplay

The goal of Venture is to collect treasure from a dungeon. Winky is equipped with a bow and arrow and explores a dungeon with rooms and hallways. The hallways are patrolled by large, tentacled monsters named Hallmonsters, which cannot be killed, injured, or stopped in any way. Once in a room, Winky may kill monsters, avoid traps and gather treasures. If they stay in any room too long, a Hallmonster will enter the room, chase and kill them. In this way, the Hallmonsters serve the same role as "Evil Otto" in the arcade game Berzerk. The more quickly the player finishes each level, the higher their score.

The goal of each room is only to steal the room's treasure. In most rooms, it is possible (though difficult) to steal the treasure without defeating the monsters within. Some rooms have traps that are only sprung when the player picks up the treasure. For instance, in "The Two-Headed Room", two 2-headed ettins appear the moment the player picks up the prize.
