Definition two is a synonym for 'Computer Game'.
I rest my case.
Oh yeah, and text vs graphical adventures (especially the early, graphics-and-parser adventures) are far, far more similar to eachother than any of those any things. No question about that.
Video games and computer games aren't always the same thing, which is why you're so confused. Most PC games are video games, but not all of them are. Text-based games are PC Games because the definition of PC Games is different from video games. PC Games are games that you play on a computer, which isn't necessarily a video game. Video games have a very strict definition, which I will not repeat since you know very well what it is. So text based games are PC Games but not video games.
Quote:I thought both of you were wrong on some points and right on others... Darunia was wrong about how awful it is to fight all those Moblins, and about how many more kinds of enemies OoT has, and you about the thinge we're discussing here...
That's partially true.
Quote:I just don't find it all that fun to have to wade through lots of easy enemies... its way more fun to have fewer, but more challenging, opponents. Those two times i died in Dodongo Caverns? One was to one of those pairs of Lizardmen. Those guys can be quite hard! Nothing in WW is as hard as the Lizardmen in the second dungeon of OoT... not 'will you die' challenge wise.
And that's pretty pathetic for WW.
Oh yeah, and WW certainly has more enemies... but I'm not so sure about your 'way, dramatically, more' statements. Yes, there are more... that is obvious. But so, so many more like you make it sound? I probably would disagree with that...
You are uncertain about it, but I am not. I never died from any of the simple enemies in OoT. They were all pitifully easy, just like the ones in WW. But WW has many more of them, which makes a big difference. In WW I would often find myself battling a dozen or more enemies all at once, while OoT never got above a handful of them.
