* ''VideoGame/{{AdventureQuest}}'': (2002) Flagship game, and original creation. A fantasy RPG, featuring dragons, elves, magic potions, mad wizards (benign and otherwise), attack kittens, werewolves, heroes, pirates, ninjas, kungfu masters, frogzards and other assorted insanity.
* ''VideoGame/{{DragonFable}}'': (2005) DarkerAndEdgier {{Prequel}} to ''[=AdventureQuest=]'', set five years earlier. The setting is pretty much the same as ''[=AdventureQuest=]'', just way earlier, in a different location.
* ''VideoGame/{{MechQuest}}'': (2007) Another prequel to ''[=AdventureQuest=]''- this one set [[AGalaxyFarFarAway 5,000 years]] before it. It features HumongousMecha, FasterThanLightTravel, general sci-ficness and very little traditional magic. It also features quite a few prominent characters from other AE games, and/or [[{{Expy}} copies]] of the selfsame (maybe), which is... [[WildMassGuessing interesting]], to say the least!
* ''VideoGame/{{AdventureQuest Worlds}}'': (2008) AE's resident Flash-based MMO, happening after the Time Dragon was slain and merged the other games together (of the same continuity)! The setting incorporates many elements from both ''VideoGame/{{AdventureQuest}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{DragonFable}}'', but mainly the latter game.
* ''VideoGame/{{WarpForce}}'': (2009) Expansion to the original ''VideoGame/{{AdventureQuest}}'' and uses the same gameplay elements and style, except with a more [[RecycledInSpace spacey flair]] due to its setting.
* ''VideoGame/{{EpicDuel}}'': AE's second Flash-based MMO. ''VideoGame/{{EpicDuel}}'' was developed independently by EpicInventions, LLC, a smaller gaming company which was purchased by Artix, and the developers brought on as Creator/ArtixEntertainment employees. It takes place ''outside'' of the world of [=AdventureQuest=], since it was developed with its own mythology in mind.
* ''VideoGame/{{HeroSmash}}'': (2010) AE's third MMO, though the second once actually created by AE, like ''VideoGame/{{EpicDuel}}'' this appears to take place in an entirely different world to most of the other AE games though details are pretty limited right now. It is a superhero based game and is currently in the beta stages of testing.

Their prototype game (called ''Land of Rising Evil'') soon turned into ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'', nowadays with ''thousands'' of players online at any given time. Their second 'game project' was another RPG in the same vein, called ''[=ArchKnight=]''. A demo was produced, but the game never progressed beyond that stage, although the main story and some characters have now been integrated into ''VideoGame/{{DragonFable}}'' as sort of 'minigame'.

Their most successful project is perhaps ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'', their first MMORPG where players can all game and interact in real time, with it incorporating elements from all three of the previous main games.

* DirectDemographic: AE has a ''very'' close relationship to its players/fandom, often directly involving them in the creation process, creating many quests that are ''impossible'' to finish without the cooperation of several players (despite being in single-player games), and sometimes even bringing the forum antics into their games themselves.

* ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest3D'' (2016) A 3D reenvisioning of the original ''VideoGame/{{AdventureQuest}}'' in 3D, and the third MMO. Revolutionary in that it features cross-platforming, allowing players to play simultaneously on PC and mobile devices (android, and apple). Heavily incorporates elements from [=AdventureQuestWorlds=], as well as a lot of original material.

** Also, quality. ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' and, to a lesser extent, ''VideoGame/DragonFable'' originally launched with... shall we say, lackluster art, something the devs never hesitate to laugh at themselves for.
