There is something very wrong with the state of gaming. I speak, of course, of the terrible lack of adventure gaming that has plagued us since, ohh...I'd say the 90's. Some of my favorite games, Monkey Island, Space Quest, Sam and Max, anything like that, they're all gone. Sure, we've had a few, the new Sam and Max...um...a few 3D games, but nothing that really stands out. I'm trying to figure out why this is, and maybe it's because I still play Space Quest 1, the original version, but I just don't think the new adventure games are that great. I've never played the new Sam and Mex, so I can't comment on that, but the other ones I've played, Blarg...I'm welcome to be proven wrong though, cause I'd LOVE to play some good new adventure games. There have been some great efforts from the fans, what with the free adventure game engine, which has staved off the total madness from lack of adventure. I just don't know WHY developers don't make adventure games anymore. And don't give me that "Action/Adventure" nonsense, If you can't use a rubber chicken with a pulley inside on a rope, if you'll forgive the incredibly nerdy analogy, then it's not really an adventure game. Fetch missions does not an adventure game make, as they say.
