I was in a computer games store recently and could not find any graphic
adventure computer games. I'm looking for a game where I can roam around
and explore things.

Any suggestions please.

For the most part, Steam is your new store for PC games.  Retail
stores have been reducing inventory of PC games for years, I'm
surprised they still carry them at all.

Here's where to start:
http://store.steampowered.com/

You can go into Store > Games > Adventure to search for adventure
games specifically.

Since you are looking for an exploration type game, you might try a
new title called "Dream", take a look here:

Amazon sells adventure games. Some you can download and burn to DVD if you want.
If you want to walk around and explore things check out the RHEM series (1-4).
It is your typical tough puzzel game but you will walk and walk and walk.

    realMyst has a 'HD' re-release: 
http://store.steampowered.com/app/244430/
If you've never played Myst, here's the version for you!

    Gone Home http://store.steampowered.com/app/232430/ is a recent release, 
if you just want an exploration game with no puzzles.
