Tendo City 2002 Poster's Choice Awards

[A Black Falcon]

I hope that explanation of text adventure games was for OB1... if not, er, I think I know that already... :)

Oh, and what do you mean by that comment added in the edit? List of what? TC awards?

Also, as for the 'death' of the adventure genre. In the late '90s, the adventure genre really decayed... far fewer games came out and the genre fell apart. By 1998, it was in full decline... and Sierra's infamous (well, in certain circles...) Massacres in '98 and '99 only made matters worse... given how they did create the graphic adventure genre, and all... if they said they couldn't make it in the market anymore, who could? Not many stayed... Lucasarts made a few more, but FAR less than before. Now, Lucasarts seems to have moved most of their adventure-type games strongly in the Action-Adventure direction... not good...

I think the genre is pretty well described already... "Quest" genre? Only Sierra really used that label to distinguish its Adventure games, not others, so its not really appropriate given how a Sierra Quest game hasn't come out in several years now... (Oh, and my favorite Sierra Quest series is in fact the Adventure-RPG QFG series... :) ) The genre doesn't need a new name. The console "adventure" games just need to be better at remembering their hyphens.
