Not dead, just going through growing pains, like RPGs and space-sims
have in the last couple of years.  With games like Starship Titanic,
Grim Fandango, Monkey Island 3, etc, the genre is finding its feet
with new graphics technology, but also now remembering to incorporate
the basic ingredients of good adventures that have been so neglected
recently.

As soon as games companies can see further than poor RTS and Quake
clones, then we'll start to see more quality games over every genre,
and that includes adventure games.
