I'm saying that now that it's publicly accepted, and since you seemed to be saying there's no point in the debate (you at least seemed to want to end it, as do I) I suggested a way to work it out. That is to say, keep the double definition of the genre that's publicly accepted. Zelda style games sure feel like an adventure when I play them, and in fact they are adventures to play. So why not just agree that hey, since the definition is now acceptable by public standards (the one thing that defines words), that it is now a second correct definition. It wasn't THEN, but it is now.
"Both" meant both types of what are now called adventure games. If you keep on arguing that Zelda isn't an adventure, well you really aren't working towards ending this are ya?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
