There's been a lot of Adventure games.  But now they're just classified as 'Action/Advenutre'.  And as such, get lumped mostly into the 'Action' genre.  Especially now that mosto f them are 3D and focus less on puzzle solving or exploration and more on fighting.  I mean, you could even classify God of War or Shadow of the Collosus as 'Adventure' games.  But most would classify them as something else (mostly 'action adventure').

Actually it seems to me that adventure games were split between Action and ARPG depending on how elaborate/involved the story is.
