No way man! Not dead! Try reading the adventure game newsgroup and then reevaluate. I've been on an adventure game high this year. I never really liked them much before, either. Here's some I recommend: Curse of Monkey Island (an absolute MUST!!) Dark Earth (almost is a dark fantasy RPG, loved it) Sanitarium (I'm waiting for it to come out, but loved the demo) Blade Runner (if you're into this type of thing it's kinda good) Black Dahlia (this one is hard, but intense) Sorry to be off-topic! I'll stop here. It's just that this off-topic post was just too big a fat and juicy worm hangin' in front of me. Had to bite.
