Hi-Res Adventure #1: Mystery House is a text-based adventure game developed by On-Line Systems (later renamed Sierra On-Line) and released in 1980 for the Apple II computer. It is considered one of the first graphical adventure games, as it featured simple black-and-white graphics to accompany the text descriptions.

The game is set in an old abandoned Victorian mansion where the player assumes the role of an unnamed protagonist who, along with a group of seven strangers, has been trapped inside the house. The player must explore the mansion and solve puzzles to uncover the mystery of the house and escape before it's too late.

The gameplay involves typing commands into the game's parser, which can range from simple actions such as "go north" or "take key" to more complex puzzles that require the player to combine objects or interact with the environment in a specific way. The graphics are used to illustrate the various rooms and objects in the house, as well as to provide visual cues to help the player progress.

Overall, Hi-Res Adventure #1: Mystery House was a groundbreaking game that helped establish the adventure game genre and paved the way for more sophisticated graphical adventure games to come.
