I never said anything about them being in different genres. I said that the text-based games are not video games. It's as simple as that.
Uh no, actually, what you've been saying is that there is only one kind of "Adventure" game--the Monkey Island kind. You said that Zelda is not an adventure game because it's not like Monkey Island. Which- to put it in your most repetitious manner- is absurd. Monkey Island is a graphic adventure. Zelda is an action adventure. Both are different kinds of adventure games.
Holy shit I think I've repeated that a few hundred times now and you still don't get it.
