What happened to all the adventure games?

Wednesday 12th of March, 2003 – Permalink

I use to like playing adventure games, a lot. Unfortunately it seems like the genre is more or less dead... I've played things like Space Quest 1 lately instead of the new games because there's just something missing in today's games. Maybe it's that they are saturated with the smell of greed? I'm rambling.

Still, it's weird that the games industry is larger than the film industry, and still doesn't manage to produce a very significant number of truly enjoyable and replayable games... or do they?
